Excellent, Duane is really great, and repaired the electrical issues in my house ahead of my inspection. Duane ran out to Home Depot to get materials and completed the jobs successfully. He is very knowledgeable, and the price was a fair deal.

FANTASTIC! Daniel is the best. There is apparently nothing he cannot do; we've had him here many times and plan to have him back again. He's prompt, efficient, has a kind demeanor, and cleans up nicely every time.

Dan Carrillo and Joe Fink were the technicians who showed up to perform the work. They were punctual, worked quickly and were knowledgeable about what needed to be done and the most expeditious way to do it. I was very pleased with their work. They were a great team and were very conscientious about taking all necessary steps to ensure my safety and their own against Covid-19.

I hired this company who sent a technician to do light repair work in a residential property that I own. While the handyman himself was efficient in the jobs he performed, he did not inform me when he left the premises and when he returned. Therefore, I was unable to keep an accurate record of the time spent that he actually worked. He gave estimates of time as opposed to actual time accounted for. He did a store run, however, the only jobs that would’ve taken an hour each were two of the jobs: renewing grout with a stain on a small kitchen floor and repair a shelf with anchors. The other jobs someone could’ve completed in 30-45 mins. These included: sink caulking, repair of a sink handle, replacement of a toilet handle, replacement of a tub stopper, tightening of a cabinet door, repositioning two light switch boxes, and putting screws into one door hinge. For these small jobs it took him 9 hrs including an hour store run! Additionally, he continued to speak to the tenant even after my request for him to speak to me directly concerning any work that was done in the tenant’s unit especially since I was the client. He even went as far as to give the tenant materials and supplies to repair work around the unit. If anything, those materials and supplies should’ve been given directly to me as the owner. I found it to be extremely unprofessional. When I called to submit a complaint to the company, they were unable to be reached for 2 days. In addition, they deducted payment from my account without first talking to me about anything. Will I higher them again? Absolutely not! A grade of C was being generous.

It is always a bit more challanging when the owner is not on site. Communication is key and not all of our service technicians are the best at communication. In a landloard tenant situation such as this they tend to communicate with the individual that is there. We hire our field technicians for their expertise in the field. With that said it sounds like our communication could have been better. - Dirk D. Hoerr, Co-Founder , Budget Right Handyman

Was told they will be able to install the two new tubs I’ve purchased but when the handyman came he said he couldn’t do it. Company was about to send another guy out to me that still cannot do the job but I cancelled it just in time. Other than that, the handyman they sent me did a great job with installing multiple exterior light fixtures and misc items.

TERRIBLE!!!! When I spoke with Brandon, the scheduler, I told him the scope of work I need done. I gave him the dimensions and the width of the tile. I told me that it was $58.00 an hour and quoted me $1200.00. He told me a day to demo, a day to lay the tile and a half day to grout. I asked him could someone come out and give me an estimated. He assured me that I didn't need anyone to come out. From the information that I gave him he could tell me exactly how much it would be because he has been in the business for 15 years. He told me I would have to put a form of payment on file and i did. The installer was Dan, the first day he demo the bill was $504.00. Dan stated because the size of the tile he would need a second person to help him cut it. The second day I was given a bill for $1436.00. I told Dan that's not what Brandon told me. Dan told me the reason why the bill was so high is because the rate I'd actually $69.00 and hour and I had to pay for both of them at that price which is $138.00 an hour. Take in mind they did not even complete the project they had to come back the next day to finish at $138.00 an hour. The installer went to Home Depot for 2 hours and I was responsible for paying for that also. They new they were installing tile they should have came with everything they need So I cancelled my card that was on file. I tried calling Brandon Twice while Dan was there he did not answer and he still has not attempted to reach out to me. I then spoke to Sam Cervetas, the project coordinator. I explain to him the situation he didn't believe me when I told him Brandon told me $58.00 an hour. I asked him was all the calls recorded and he said yes, so I told him to listen to the phone call and he could hear everything me and Brandon discussed. Sam offered to deduct 138 dollars from my bill or I could wait until he listens to the phone call and he promised to call me the next morning. In the meanwhile he pulled to contractor of the job until he got the situation straighted out. I explained to Sam that I needed my job finished because I have a catering business and my kitchen is in my livingroom. Sam never called me back. I called him with no answer now I'm left with trying to find another contractor to complete the job because Brandon pulled a bait and switch on me because he my credit card on file. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are unethical. I will be filing a complaint with the BBB.

Our labor rate has never been $58.00 per hour. All our calls are recorded for quality control. Our representative was very clear that the cost was at the Winter Discounted Rate of then $69 per hour per guy. We listened to the recording. We are currently working with this customer to resolve this issue. - Dirk D. Hoerr, Co-Founder Budget Right Handyman
