Ken was clean and neat when he did the work in my house. He is an experienced young man. I was impressed that he didn't run out the door after doing a 20-minute job. He offered to take a look at other projects since I had at least another hour and half. The details: my stopper was not working in my Jacuzzi tub. I thought I had to have a part of my wall removed to repair the job. It was as simple as unscrewing a few things and cleaning out the stopper. Ken showed me the build-up that was in the stopper. I had him look at my two sinks, they were bigger problems. They would have taken more than the balance of time and I needed to have the 2 new stoppers in order to do the work. I did have another project. One of my roman shades fell from my winder several months ago. I could not fix it. A friend tried to fix it. I was told it could not be fixed. As a result, I went and purchased curtain rods to install new window treatments. Ken took a look at the shade and was able to repair it!!! He saved me $$$. I was well pleased!!
Description of Work: 2-hours Handy Man Services - I had a plumbing problem with my tub stopper. Ken came out and corrected the problem. It was something he was able to do in 15-20 minutes. He asked if there were any other projects to do since he finished the job so quickly.

This was my first time using a handyman service. It was an outstanding experience from start to finish. This company had a very quick turnaround in assigning someone to my job. The hourly rate I was charged ($49) was just over a half of what six other companies that I called charged. I was suspicious about the quality of work that I would get for such a reasonable price. However, my concerns went away as soon as Aeron walked in. He was fabulous in every way. He could handle every task that we threw at him. He is experienced in every trade that we asked him to handle, including carpentry, plumbing, electrical, etc. He showed up exactly on time and handled every task efficiently. In fact, I was amazed at how fast he worked, and he even finished all the additional work I asked him to do in under the time I had originally estimated. He kept me posted on how the company charged so there would be no surprises. The quality of all the work was outstanding. He fixed things quickly that others had told me could not be fixed or that it would take a long time to fix. He also is a perfectionist who wanted to make things better even though I thought they were fine, such as making sure that large art was hung exactly the proper way.. In short, I give this company and enthusiastic A. I would (and in fact plan to) use them again for some additional tasks.
Description of Work: A wide range of tasks, including fixing knobs on cabinets, hanging a mirror, hanging large artwork, tightening faucets, adjusting closets, putting together a new TV stand, adjusting fixture, etc.

When I contacted them to schedule the work, they were very responsive. Runiz came when he said he would and did good job on the work. The work was very neat, well done, he was courteous, and he cleaned up well after the job was complete. When he came the next time to finish up the work, he was supposed to bring materials to complete additional work on molding that I was going to commission him for. He explained that the materials had not come in yet. When he was supposed to come again, he never called or showed up. I did try to contact them and the owner never got back with me as well. I was not happy with that, but I was happy with the work that he did complete.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for two hours of Handyman services. I had him repair a hole in the wall.

I had to work so I was not home at the time of service, but my mom was pleased with the customer service and we were all pleased with the results. He completed a long list of jobs in 4 hours and all were done to our satisfaction. The baby gates were in tricky locations, but he found great solutions.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It was all right. If I was rating them on 5 stars, I would probably give them 3 1/2. There were two bathrooms that it was done in total and those turned out fine but one of them is a little leaky. It wasn't really their fault; I think it was more with how the marble was cut in the wall. I would grade them a 3.75. I am a first time homeowner so I'm not sure about the price, but I think it was fine. The coupon brought down the price.

It did take a little longer than expected to schedule the appointment because of the deal. There were no additional fees beyond the cost of the deal. One person arrived to complete the work and completed the job in under two hours. They were able to complete the job and everything turned out great!

It was terrible because the gentleman kept prolonging the work. Basically, he tried to turn 4 hours of work into 8 hours of work. Additionally, he had a bad attitude, was rude, and even walked off the job. I definitely will not be using the company in the future.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for them to provide 2 hours of handyman work. Specifically, I wanted to them to make some repairs to the sub-floor in two storage rooms.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
This landlord never met our service rep at the jobsite nor ever witnessed the rate at which our service rep performed any of the work. She agreed over the phone to paying our time and materials rate. She only informed us after 5 hours into the job that she was not going to pay. Our only error here was taking the word of a con artist over the phone without getting her signature. It will not happen again. On a separate note it would be beneficial if Angie's List had a blacklist of sorts to protect contractors from this type of dishonorable person as these types of people only drive up the cost of doing business for legitimate Angie's List members.

The scheduling process was a bit complicated, but they did arrive on time after we worked everything out. Furthermore, the gentleman acted professionally, completed the work quickly, and was very knowledgeable. He actually readjusted the plumbing under the sink which really helped to reduce clogging problems. Unfortunately, they weren't able to do the sink faucet over the course of the two hours.

Everything went well for the most part. They were responsive to my calls in the beginning, the handyman was friendly and professional, and the quality of the work was good. However, the handyman took the door to my entertainment center back to the shop for repairs, and it hasn't been returned to me. I've called and texted the handyman directly nearly 20 times, and I've emailed the owner once. Unfortunately, there has been no response.
