The sales manager called us 1 day after we purchased the Big Deal. He scheduled an appointment for 3 days later with Ivan. Ivan showed up a few minutes before his time began. We went over the job and where the supplies were. He was very polite and did a great job hanging the door. We will use his company again.
Description of Work: Ivan came and put in a new interior pre-hung bathroom door.

Overall, everything went well, with a small bump along the way. I originally scheduled my work with them on 9/24, but they did not show up. After several phone calls, I finally received a call back, stating that there was a mistake in dispatch causing my problem. We rescheduled for 10/4. The tech arrived on time that day and spec'd out the job. He was able to determine the doors that i purchased would not work but was willing to begin work on the ceiling fan while I returned the old doors and got ones that would work. He installed the fan without issue and installed the new doors without a problem. He even assisted me with moving furniture since I still had 20 minutes of time purchased. He (I believe his name was Matt) was very professional and courteous and was willing to go the extra mile, which was much appreciated. Other than the original mishap, I had nothing but good things to say about budgetright handyman.
Description of Work: Installed closet door and ceiling fan.

The only concern I had was that I did not receive a full two hours of service. However, the work went well. He did several minor repairs for me and changed a light bulb in my garage, which required extra detail. He was very nice and professional.

Ken Farris was here yesterday and what a handyman! He was very pleasant and listened when I explained the work I needed done. He did a great job ? we were very pleased. Ken was very professional and when he was finished he explained his work and made sure we were happy with it; very conscientious. I hadn?t hired him for a full day, but he finished my project list. He also gave me advice on a solution to our front step problem that we will have him back to fix. I will definitely have him back.
Description of Work: He finished my project list: finished a project that we started, covered a hole in our ceiling and put caulking in the crack where ceiling meets wall. He didn’t have to do that, but he was very professional. It is now ready to paint. He also installed my hotwater faucet and added weather stripping to an outside door.

i purchased a coupon from Angie's List for 2 hrs of handyman services for $79 However Ii knew the list of work I. had would take at least 4 hrs so when I spoke with the contractor Ivan, we scheduled 4 hours total ffrom 8-noon on Monday, oct 21. I couldn't be there that morning so my wife stayed home from work. Well, the contractor never showed up so I called him and he had put the wrong day down on his schedule so he thought he was suppose to be there on Wed, Oct 23rd. He apologized and asked if we could reschedule. He seemed polite and nice enough so I decided to give him a 2nd chance. We scheduled for Thursday, Oct 24th from noon until 4 PM. This time, I was home because i was working nights. Again, the contractor hasn"t come and he is not answering his phone. I should have known better than to give him a 2nd chance because he seemed to be so disorganized on the phone that it should have made me realize that this was not a professional that I was dealing with. Now I need to figure out howt to et my $79 back from Angie' List.
Description of Work: he was hired to do a long list of handyman jobs like fix a leaking sink, adjust some doors that didn't close properly etc.. but never showed up.

It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong and I am that big man. We dropped the ball on this one while transitioning how we do the calendar. I hope we can make it right.

Ken was awesome! Made valuable suggestions and taught me things about the new home we just purchased and how to care for and maintain it. The above work consisted of 2 fulls days at our property. Our bathroom looks awesome and was affordable. He made a solid suggestion on installing new flooring and it has dramatically changed the look of the whole room. I already have 2 future dates book for help with items I need once my countertop is installed. This service is reasonable and he will knock out your to-do list with ease!
Description of Work: replaced a bathroom vanity, laid at vinyl floor, hung 2 medicine cabinets, installed shelf and a rod in the laundry room, disassembled a work bench, installed a fixture, hung a towel holder and TP holder, drilled a power cord hole in a book shelf, assembled and installed a large IKEA over the TV cabinet, installed a permenant mirror in the bathroom, realigned bedroom doors so they close properly, removed and reinstalled closet doors, installed smoke detectors, change out my screens with winter panels....

In short, Aaron Villarreal is THE BEST handyman I have ever hired . I have lived in four major cities throughout the U.S and I have hired about a dozen handyman for miscellaneous jobs and I believe that Aaron is by far the most skilled, most professional and most versatile handyman I have ever come across. Its rare to meet someone that is as passionate as he is about his job. Aaron loves his job and he takes great pride in not only ensuring that the job is done correctly, but he is happy to take the time to explain how / what he is doing in great detail. He also is happy to answer any question about just about anything related to the construction of your home (meaning that he doesn't mind explaining things in meticulous details to laymen like myself). I don't think there is a lot that Aaron doesn't know how to do and / or have a profound knowledge base of. Aaron truly goes above and beyond just being another good handyman. I live in a new home that was finished about 6 months ago and I honestly believed he saved me several thousand dollars (and a flooded basement) in noticing a severely corroded dielectric union on my hot water heater. This wasn't even something that I asked him to look at....he just noticed it on his own! I emailed a picture of the corroded piping to the builder of the home several hours after Aaron left and the builder said that he needed to get someone out to my home immediately (as my home is still under a warranty that expires in a few months)....as my water heater was truly on the brink of failing and flooding my basement. I am grateful to have discovered Budget Right Handyman . Not only that, but their rates are extremely low for the talent / skills that you are getting. I trust Aaron implicitly and I look forward to handing him / Budget Right a new list of jobs / in-home modifications that I am confident will be done correctly, efficiently and perhaps most importantly, done by a truly skilled and talented professional.
Description of Work: Aaron raised the ceiling / hanging pot rack in my kitchen, made adjustments to several spring loaded ball door latches in my home and he also started the process of adding a load bearing mount to one of my ceilings. He also fielded various questions (and provided a lot of advice) that I had regarding the electrical and plumbing systems.

I purchased 2 hours of handyman services through a Angie's List "Big Deal". It went very well. Brad arrived early and went right to work. He even walked to the local hardware store for some caulk I did not have. After working his way through the project list very efficiently, he asked for what else he could help with. Overall, I was very pleased.
Description of Work: Brad installed a panel covering our water main access, filled some drywall holes and re-attached a loose bannister railing.

Came out to do electrical work, got here and started to describe what he needed to do. I could tell he was out of his mind, I don’t know if he had smoked something or drank something. As he went on I realized he was behaving weirdly and it was a bizarre experience. Initially he agreed to arrive at 230 but did not show up until 4:45, he did however let me know. I want them to send someone out that can do the job properly.
Description of Work: Came out to do electrical repairs to an outlet on the wall that controls 3 lights and to switch out 2 outdoor lights and replace for motion detecting lights.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
At Budget Right we do not appreciate character assassination. This service rep was neither drunk or stoned. To suggest otherwise is false. He has more A ratings than any other rep at or company. He is a people pleaser and he was flustered because he was running late. I do apologize that are service rep was running late. But, he did call to let the customer know. She has cloth wire in her house and needs to have it updated by a licensed electrician. This is not work work we can do for her. Why she got on line instead of calling the office is beyond me.

Bob from Budget Right Handyman was fantastic. He arrived early and went into the condo with me to look at what I wanted to do. He was very personable and friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy his work. I had to run to Home Depot because the light I bought was too large and he explained what to look for. I think the glazed look on my face made him tell me when you get to Home Depot to call me and let me talk to the sales person. While I was gone I asked if he would mind tightening a loose faucet which he did. I would absolutely recommend and use him again.
Description of Work: Replaced one bathroom light fixture and removed another one and installed a cap. Tightened a faucet.
