Budget Right Handyman

They scheduled it for a very cold morning, it was scheduled to snow and have low temps. The man showed up, in sneakers and sweatpants (when its less than 5 degrees outside, and we had work outside for him to do). Then he tells me that its too cold to do the glass block. No one mentioned that when I was on the phone scheduling this. Then he tells me that we need supply line for the faucet and it will be at least an hour of time we'd have to pay for him to go get it. So I politely asked him to leave. I asked them to come out and do 3 repairs on my home, and I'm left with none of them done and a very bad taste in my mouth about Budget Right Handyman.

Budget Right consistently does high quality work at an affordable price. Brad quickly diagnosed and fixed problems with plumbing, flooring, and a bi-fold door and a did a great job with the repairs. Very highly recommended.

Matt showed up promptly, assessed the problem and went to work to tear out the water soaked composite material and replaced it with real wood. Finished job was as good, if not better than the original contractor grade finish.

Painting was done well and correct. Both doors are out of alignment again and they have not responded to my request to re-fix.

He was fantastic. There were just various little things that we could not accomplish; that he could do quickly. We needed bi-fold doors fixed and he had been a closet installer in his previous job. So he knew exactly what to do. It was something that we were trying to do on our own which seemed really easy but wasn’t. He made very simple work of and very good work of it. There is nothing wrong with it and it is working perfectly. He made a number of other fixes. He was in and out very quickly. We have never used him before. He knows exactly what he was doing especially when it comes to cause. That is what we hired him to help us do. We believe his customer service was tops and his ability to fix the problem was an A. He was punctual. He gave us a call in advance just to confirm because he was a long was away. He stayed in touch with us. It was a big deal purchase.

He did finish a couple small jobs. He worked fast and was done within 2 hours. He was late upon starting and he left a couple things unfinished I felt he didn't put enough effort into. For example, he didn't completely install a TV mount because he didn't have the correct screws. The TV mount was installed but the the TV was put in place. I did pay for an extra half hour and materials.

I wasn't at home when they did the work, but everything seems to have gone well. They did the work as promised, the price was great, and it was easy getting in touch with them to schedule the work.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. They were great. The guy was very nice and laid back. He didn't mind my dog following him around. He was very capable. He was so capable that I am hiring them to install a stair railing which is a big deal to me; I feel confident in this young man that I've already gotten it scheduled. I would use them without any hesitation. The price was a great deal; it was half off. He was so punctual, the clock stuck 10 and the bell rang.

It worked out really well. They were both very, very good.

I called to have a pocket door in one of my rental units repaired. Bob, the handyman who took on the job, suggested that instead of repairing the pocket door that we instead replace it with a standard door. This option saved me tons of $ and I agree with Bob's assessment that since this is a rental, a standard door was a better choice. Very pleased with the work!!

nice guy, was on time , thorough and polite. got the work done to my satisfaction.

It turned out fine. They were quick and they know what they were doing. They did a pretty fair job.

David showed up right on time, and installed a new kitchen faucet and fixed a drain pipe. He was done in less than two hours, and he was very professional.

They did some carpentry work and other minor home repairs - when they initially came out they said the work would take long than the 2 hours included in the deal and he unfortunately had an appointment after me, so he'd have to re-schedule. He rescheduled for that weekend and got it done in the time expected (3 hours). The additional cost for the 3rd hour was very reasonable and we were very happy with the work he did.

After extensive research via Yelp and Angie's List I decided to go with Budget Right for some work on my house. Specifically this is the work that was performed: 1. Installed ceramic tile on rear enclosed heated porch of the house 2. Setting of base cabinets that had been removed in the kitchen 3. Installation of ceramic backsplash 4. Installation of quartz countertop on said base cabinets All of the work was performed by the same one handyman who was timely and professional. In reference to #1- installation of ceramic tile, the work was excellent. Simple and straightforward as well executed. The way that Budget Right Handyman work is that they are associated with several "handymen" and assign one to your project for an hourly rate. They provide you with a fairly accurate estimate on time and cost and that is why I was pleased with the service. The only thing I questioned was the amount of time it took to get the work done, if they quoted me 16 full hours, I am not confident that they would bill me 12 or 14 hours if the work was completed early. Which might have been the case. Regardless, I was happy with the price and work completed for this one task. In reference to #2 & #3, the estimate to perform the work was much higher than I expected. Part of the estimate was 8 hours to set the base cabinets back into their previously existing locations. It was only 4 cabinets, not sure that this should have taken 8 hours. But I needed to get the work done ASAP before the end of the year, so I went with it. Initially, I was very impressed with the work. It has been 2 weeks since it has been completed and now I'm noticing all of the flaws. One---the guy that did the work made a mess everywhere. He had to cut the ceramic tile for the floor and backsplash and dust and debris went everywhere in the house. When the work was finished, everything looked nice, but was dirty as h***. I am finally filling the cabinetry with my kitchenware and every drawer and cabinet is covered in layers of ceramic dust and clunks of grout. Spent 2 hours cleaning all of that mess. I think they must have also cut sections of the quartz countertop right there in the kitchen because that dark quartz dust was everywhere. He did not install the outlet covers for the light switches or the electrical outlets, and I can do this myself. Except that the way he set the backsplash, it is not aligned with the outlets, so I have to either chisel around the backsplash and risk cracking and breaking or find some other solution. In reference to #4- the countertop The work was done via their recommended countertop guy/vendor. The material is nice, but at the initial setting there were issues where the countertop did not align with the rear wall/backsplash in one section. And in another the countertop was too short as a result of making the wrong measurement. In the process of setting the countertop, they also broke off part of the backsplash tile. I was not happy with this even though they were about to leave me there as though the job was complete, I had to complain about it and the handyman said he would call the countertop guy to fix it. A few days later they fixed it on one side and "glued" or "grouted" a replacement backsplash piece. But Instead of fixing the countertop on the other end where there was a quarter inch gap they basically caulked a seperate quarter inch square into place using the stuff that is used to set multiple countertop pieces. Additionally, I had to buy a seperate faucet for the sink because I purchased a 4 hole and the sink was designed for a 2 or 3 hole. So I bought a new one and planned to return the old one (the old one cost me $69). When i returned to look at the "fixed" countertop I saw that they decided to tear off the lid of the box from the unusable faucet to use as a tray for the caulk stuff for the countertop. This meant that I couldn't return the faucet anymore, they credited me $69 for the cost of the faucet. In the end I paid and left everything as is. I needed the work done and it is a million times better than what I had before. This is a project home and will eventually be rented out for a while, so decided not to make too much of a fuss. In the future however I will be working with a company that specifically performs kitchen remodeling than with this handyman service. I say use them for basic handyman work around the house, go to the pros for bigger projects.

This provider was absolutely fabulous. I cannot say enough positive about him.

Very pleased with the quality and professionalism of the job. He was clean and tidy.

Didn't series of call backs. He was looking into the installation of an instant hot water dispenser and he never got back to me.

Budget Right did a phenomenal job. He fixed a doorknob that at least two other handymen had failed to fix - all with a $5 piece of hardware! I appreciated his responsiveness, the high-quality work, and the reasonable cost.

Scheduling went well but they arrived late for the appointment so I ended up putting in the vanity myself. I also wanted them to do more of the electrical work and they were unable to do because of time constraint. One person came out to do the work and he was really only here for about 1 hour to do the tile work. They were also unable to do flooring which I wanted done.

They came the other day. They always do great work.

Serviceman was very professional, friendly, and punctual. Very skillful. Louver door I had bought was too large; he cut it down to size and hung it. Couldn't even tell the door had been sawed shorter before hanging. Consulted me on more work I want done. Will be using this company again.

...but when I called them back to do a different job for me which would have been to put the hardware on two gates I never heard from them. I want my money back!!!!

Seamlessly. Robert was in contact throughout every step of every task. Each job was performed to expectations and in a timely manner. We even had the chance to purchase a coupon book that saved us significant money on future jobs and the current job we had specced out.

It went well. He showed up on time, listened to what I needed, and went to work fixing everything to my satisfaction. He showed me what was wrong and what needed to be done to fix it. He answered all of my questions as he went along. He made sure that I check each job and that it functioned w/ease and the way I wanted it to.
