I purchased the Big Deal for two hours of handyman work for some odds and ends I wanted done around the house. When I phoned to make the appointment, they were scheduling about 10 days out. On the day of the appointment, Aeron (the handyman) phoned in the morning to say that he could arrive about an hour early if it worked for me. That was fine on my end, but I appreciated not feeling pressured to have him come early. When Aeron arrived we went over my "bucket list" and discussed what was needed for each item. One of the things I wanted done was to have a lock installed on an outdoor shed room, but I'd purchased the wrong type of lock. Aeron explained that he'd have to run out to buy a lock, as well as a new lint trap for my washing machine. He estimated that the errand and work together would take about three hours and made sure to check that I was okay with both the time and cost estimates. All the projects went well, and I was very pleased with Aeron's meticulousness and honesty. Here's an example - I have a mirror over my mantel that had been hung by a different handyman some months past. I was a bit nervous that it hadn't been done properly, so I asked him to check it. When he did, he found that the previous handyman had only used one hanger and didn't even have it in the wall all the way! Aeron explained what type of hangers should be used with concrete and rehung the mirror with two additional hangers. This is the kind of small job that would be so easy for a handyman to breeze through and do improperly (as the initial handyman obviously did). Aeron did the work properly and I feel much better now that I know that mirror isn't going anywhere. Another item on my list was a window in my family room that I thought needed repairs. It turned out that it was just off its track and didn't need to be fixed at all. That was a pleasant surprise, as I'd been prepared to pay for a window repair! Aeron could have fabricated a repair job - I don't know a darn thing about windows - but didn't. Overall, I was really pleased with the service and work Aeron performed. He was competent, honest, and got the work done in the time he'd estimated.
Description of Work: He hung a couple shelving pieces, rehung a mirror that hadn't been done right the first time, looked at a couple windows that weren't working properly, installed a lock on a shed, and replaced a lint trap on my washing machine. He also gave me advice on what to do with some old, dingy wall registers that I have.

It didn't go. Because it felt as if there wasn't any regard for my feelings, I asked for my money back. Tim said to call you, and to tell you he said that it was ok with him. That was it. It was just that simple. I wasted my time waiting for someone to show up because someone else didn't care enough about my business to their job. And from the way it sounded this hadn't happened before. Strange.
Description of Work: I made an appointment (5/27/14) for 5/29/2014. No one showed up. After several attempts to reach someone, I finally spoke to Tim today (6/12/2014) He checked his system to tell me I was never scheduled after spending over 15 minutes on the phone while making this appointment. I don't understand how that could have happened. I asked for my money back. He said to call you. It seems that Budget Right along with other inquires I've made, want to service my neighborhood. This is just the conclusion I've come to. Of all the inquires I've made I have yet to feel that Angie's List has worked for me.

I apologize, I made a mistake when searching the calendar. This service rep quit shortly after the appointment so I did not have his schedule highlighted. However, this customer did not answer her door or phone at the scheduled time. The service rep waited an hour before he left. The only reason I remember this is because he called me, told me people were offering to trade tools for crack and asked if he could leave. I could not believe he waited so long.

I was able to schedule a week after I called. Steve was not only on time, but early. He called to let me know and I met him ahead of schedule. He looked at all of the various jobs I had for him then quickly got to work. He was so quick, he actually finished before the 2 hour time slot I had. The job was done perfectly and I have no complaints. He was courteous, professional, and did a great job!

That turned out well. I had job do some jobs and it took an additional 3 hours after that, but it was at a good price. I paid about $150.00. He did some carpentry work. He replaced a wooden post to a fence and it now it works fine. He cut off the bottom to a gate also so it would not hit the sidewalk. He was courteous and knew his work; he was well versed in carpentry. He was also very pleasant. Since this was outside work, the first appointment we had to we had to re-scheduling due to it being rainy weather.

I contacted Budget Right Handyman outside of Angie's List to see what their pricing is: I was quoted $49 an hour. Multiply that by 2 hours and you get $98, which is the supposed "50% discounted" rate they are advertising on Angie's List. Furthermore, when I called to try to set up a date for service, Matt was less than helpful--couldn't locate my original email request or my contact information and did not understand the simple task I needed to have done. I did not schedule service.

I purchased this deal a couple months ago and they were extremely prompt in calling me to schedule the service. I said I wanted to wait until my mantle shelf was in and they said no problem! I called them last week and scheduled for today. I have Mondays off so today worked out great but also they have weekend hours! The handyman was early and finished all three jobs in under 2 hours. I was really impressed with the level of expertise and knowledge that comes with getting the work done this quickly! He was extremely personable and approachable.

Service tech came out to house in Englewood..said he smelled weed. Wouldn't perform services..told me they would send someone else out...never did. they held me up for 4 weeks, then made an excuse (no weed, maybe clove cigarette). didn't want to be in area..bottom line. STAY AWAY!!! And by the way, it took them between scheduling and rescheduling almost 4 weeks to come out. This is why I was so upset..they effectively wasted a month of my time and then wouldn't perform the work. 4 weeks. NOT COOL.

We did no work for this individual. We have the right to refuse service for any reason. The service rep stayed outside the location for an hour trying to help find a plumber outside our company who would be willing to come out under the circumstances. We don't control anyone else's business. This customer changed his story every time we spoke, but this new "clove" defense is my favorite.

I will never waste my time with this company again. The day of the rescheduled appointment, they did not show up. I received a text from the technician that he was running late, then another text that he was in a car accident, and the company never called to tell me what happened or if they could send someone else out. I called the company and they insisted they reschedule with the same technician again for two weeks later. He never showed up. I called the company twice, I called the technician, and no one even returned my calls. I missed an important family event to show up for this appointment. I am going to demand a refund from this company and would never waste my time with them again.
Description of Work: I purchased their two-hour promotion to hang some shelves. When they showed up, they didn't have the parts needed, so they did a minor job that took less than half hour, and said they'd come back and hang the shelves. But they never showed up again, and I never got the rest of the two hours I purchased.

The coupon is clearly labeled up to two hours of service. The service rep did not have the materials that she needed to mount her product in her home. Our service reps cannot carry a hardware store in their trucks. She did not answer her phone or door at the second appointment time. We will not be returning.

They were terrible. I would never use them again. I took off work to have them come out to my house for the service. They called and we were disconnected, I called back four times with no response. I then called the company to see if he was on his way or if he would call back. They said he noted that he called me and I wasn’t home so he went to another job. I felt he made an excuse to not come and do the work.

It was more complicated than originally expected, but that isn't necessarily a reflection of the company. With my first appointment, they first person who came out, he couldn't fix the faucet because the original faucet was special order and the parts were not easy to find (if they could be found at all) So, I ordered a new faucet and set up a second appointment and a different person came out. Like I said earlier, the orginal faucet was special ordered so that meant that the new faucet required additional parts that the orginal faucet didn't have, so he had to run to the store which took a little less than 30 mins. The next issue was the actual size of the bathroom (which is small) so this also created challenges too for the installation...that being said, the basics of the installation were done, but he ran out of time (I prepaid for 2 hours) and I had to finish the rest. While the situation was not ideal, thankfully I live near an ACE Hardware store and the nice man who works there walked me through what I needed to do to complete my installation.
