Budget Right Handyman

The whole event took about an hour. The 'deal' was two hours of work for $79.00. The work and deal was OK but I still had to track down and pay an electrician to do the rest of the work. I wish I had known the repairman had a limited skill-set.

He showed up right at the designated time and knocked the work out in less than the estimated time. Work looks great and I'm glad I found these guys on Angie's List.

He arrived late, with an incomprehensible excuse. He did an adequate job, but it didn't take two hours and we were required to pay for two hours. He left a tool, and never came to pick it up.

The work itself was great, but my initial communication with Budget Right was not. The person I spoke to on the phone said the drywall could not be repaired in two hours so I would have to pay for extra time. I said I would just have the repair man do whatever he could in two hours. The repair man who did the work told me the day he arrived that he could repair them using a quick-drying solution. He was able to get the small holes totally repaired and sanded, but the large hole took longer to try so I had to finish sanding it myself. Even though I had to finish this part myself, he did an impressive job getting it as far along as he did.

Dirk was very professional and provided me exactly what I expected: measurements for the kitchen, ideas for the layout, a set of simple designs, and an estimated cost for the work.

Great job. Well done, clean, informative. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

That was great. He was friendly and tidy. He did a good job. There was nothing that I disliked about him. Go ahead and hire him because he is worth the money.

He was prompt and neat. The job was fine, but we felt he went rather slow...one window per hour.

Bob was great and did an excellent job.

This is not a deal they charge 50.00 dollars per hour for normal service there coupon is 2 hours of service for 98.00 dollars. You r getting 2.00 off. When I talked to them originally for the work they added an additional 3 hours bringing the total to 250.00. Not a good deal. Should read 50.00 for two hours and additional 50.00 after that. They have yet to perform the work.

It was probably my false expectations on handy man. Living in the city I don't have space for tools so I thought it would be a good project to hire a handy man, possibly repair a leaky dishwasher (realized this may be more of a specialist issue), hang a closet door and fix a leaky faucet. Dude shows up says can't fix the dishwasher, hangs door (15 minutes worth of work) and say cheaper to replace faucet (but doesn't actually do it). So in effect I paid $360 / hr for his service, got a door hung and then he asked my wife to pay for parking since it was not covered. Dick.

The provider showed up late and unprepared. He didn't have his insurance card with him. He was unwilling to retrieve it in order to honor the appointment, stating that it would be inconvenient, as he lived far away. He said he would recommend someone else to come out instead, and that plan was never implemented. Several subsequent phone calls went unanswered and unreturned. Upon contacting him regarding a refund the following week, he was unfamiliar and unapologetic. I have never dealt with a more unprofessional situation. I do not know how he became associated with Angie's List.

Everything went very well. Ken was prompt, knowledgeable and did an excellent job. I will definitely use them again.

He was nice, but the work was going to be much more extensive then the deal I purchased.

Things went well. The serviceman had to go to a home service store to purchase a necessary part.was satisfied with the service, everything was workingl properly when he left. He arrived at the scheduled time.

Very polite, knowledgeable, and neat. Job done well.

They never called me to schedule the appointment. I had called their number and it was afterhours and they no one ever called back. I ended up getting a refund for the service.

They never responded to my calls and I could not get anything scheduled. I ended up getting a refund from Angie's List.

Leon was great. He was on time and the project was completed on time.

Dirk visited my condo twice to give an estimate for an extensive kitchen remodeling. He was fine the first visit, but left many unanswered questions about his estimate I scheduled his second visit and he brought in a contractor to fill in what he believed to be new information about the job. Fair enough. But at the conclusion of that visit, he still had numbers in his estimate that he was not willing to guarantee yet expected me to sign a contract on the spot to get going. Dirk represents himself as a full-service contractor but he is clearly not. He turned me off by expecting me to sign (and put a deposit) on a job that he admittedly could not precisely estimate. I felt this was unprofessional, and to boot he told me when I said that I was uncomfortable signing the contract that "I'm not coming back here again if you don't" - as if it was a threat? Sorry, Dirk - represent your services well and people may sign. But put forth a half-baked proposal and expect a half-baked response. In my experience, contractors who play it "loosey goosey" in the beginning will wind up costing you more down the line. Proceed with caution. (Again, I admit I can't vouch for the quality of his work because I didn't have him do it, but based on the initial interaction there were serious enough red flags to not move ahead.)

I scheduled work with Matt, who was very responsive, obliging, and incredibly fair in his pricing. Aeron and Jeff were prompt, friendly, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. It was great to have their expertise and skill in tackling what can be a stressful home improvement effort. I recommend Budget Right Handyman and have already scheduled them again to continue work on my basement. It is a great feeling having a reliable go-to handyman company!

Excellent! They were extremely responsive, punctual, and efficient. I had no problems setting up the appointments. Phone calls were returned promptly. Aeron Kaster was the guy who did the work for me and he did an excellent job. Everything was explained to me ahead of time, he had me do spot checks every now and then to make sure everything looked good, and he did a wonderful job cleaning everything up. He was also extremely polite and patient with me when I explained what I needed. This is the first time I've used a Handy Man service and I'm extremely happy with my experience. I'd absolutely use them again in the future!

It went good. They got the job done in less than a week and they were really quick. The worker was great, nice, convenient, and did a great job. He asked my opinion when needed. The cleanup was good.

Very punctual & got the job done. Very pleasant & helpful carpenter, Aeron. He was a good problem solver. It should be noted that high quality, "finished" work was not required or requested by me. Therefore, I am unable to judge best quality of work well. You must supply your own materials or make arrangements and pay for them getting the materials for you.

Every time I try to schedule them to come out, they say they need three weeks heads-up. It’s been impossible to get them to come out, so I’ll need a refund. They’re very nice, but I they’re a bit overscheduled – which is a good sign, because it obviously means people like the work they do.
