I had two different projects I wanted done and Nate completed them very thoughtfully. He went out of his way to make sure the job was done correctly.

How did it go? It didn’t. The connection between my roof dryer vent and the dryer hose needed reattached. The contractor stated he couldn’t access it from the attic, so instead of attempting to correctly repair the problem, he simply shoved the tube up into my attic and shimmed it in place with a couple pieces of drywall. Any licensed contractor would know that that is a recipe for mold and completely unacceptable. They will not be allowed to touch my house again.

The job was to install a cast iron hose reel on brick wall. Technician Tony arrived early and had all the necessary tools. He made good suggestions on where to place the unit and mounted it perfectly. Thank you for a job well done.

Excellent!!! My first time using this kind of service. Keri was the nicest person to deal with. And did a Fantastic job. Told her everything I wanted in hanging my 6 floating shelves. We talked about spacing the shelves, how high and how to arrange them. She made the job look so easy. And when the job was finished, I was just standing there saying, "Oh my god". Beautiful outcome. She made me a believer out of me to keep Budget Right Handyman in mind. From beginning to end, this was easy, convenient and well worth it. Thank you so much.

From the beginning of the process to the end I was completely satisfied. I received a call immediately after placing an inquiry and was completely satisfied with how my questions were answered. I was quoted the price of the work that needed to be done and also the time frame. When the handyman Tony arrived to my house he explained everything that he would do and also recommended time saving ways to get the job done quicker and more efficiently. Tony was amazing and got the job done quicker than was was quoted/expected. I definitely will be using BRH again in the future if I need any contracted work done!

The work was completed to our satisfaction. Jesse was professional, knowledgeable of what needed to be done, and adapted to some modifications needed. He was friendly and we felt comfortable having him come into our home. I would have given 5 stars, but the first tech was a "no-show" for the first appointment. BudgetRight quickly rescheduled and gave us an adjustment credit for the mix up.

It was a fairly straightforward repair, but one for I didn't have the tools. Booking was easy, and they arrived on time. The repairman, Chris Skedd, completed the repair in just under an hour, was professional and explained everything that he needed to do after he fully inspected the issue.
Description of Work: I had a relatively new door installation, and the deadbolt would not clear the strike plate without lighting up on the doorknob, and the installer ghosted me. I reached out on Agni to find someone who could fix the problem. BRH was the first company to contact me, listened to my concerns and booked me right away. The price was reasonable and they were responsive.

mailbox repair
  + -1 more
Nate Pierson did a very good job. Everything got done efficiently, and to my expectation and liking. The mailbox looks great and no problems were encountered. Very good job!
Description of Work: The mailbox was leaning to far into the street and I was having mail found on the street, driveway, and on the front lawn due to the carrier not getting and keeping the mail in the box. The mailbox was tilting too much into the street and the carrier was not noticing what was happening most likely. The post needed to be replaced and the old mailbox put back into place. He did a good job. He had to go get a new post at Home Depot and put it all in place, leveled, fit the size of the mailbox, etc. He chose a cedar replacement post and that was fine with me; good choice.
