I have to say that Aaron V. was a very knowledgeable handyman. He was able to perform multiple jobs in a quick and efficient manner. In addition, I was going to have some tile cut away from the wall so a new over the range microwave could be installed. Aaron said cutting tile would be a waste of time and my money so he attached a piece of wood to the wall so that the new mounting bracket could be attached to the wall without having to cut the tile. I was amazed at his knowledge, his hard work ethic, and his honesty when it came to saving me some money. I am going to hire Aaron again and tell many people about Budge Right Handyman. This was a great experience.
Description of Work: Removed a microwave, fixed two screen doors that weren't closing properly, caulked around outside dryer vent and electric meter, fixed interior door that wasn't closing properly, and secured an outdoor eletrical outlet that was not previously attached to the house.

He did a good job, but I feel he went on another job that why it took him a litter over a hour to get back.
Description of Work: The provider came on time. He looked at the things done that I needed to have done. He left to go to the hardware to replaced the pipe that hold the water hose because it was leaking. He return about a hour later stating that the register at the store was not working that is why he came back so late. He return and spent 15 minute replacing the pipe and set up an appointment when he would return on Sunday and give me coupon where I could get 2 hour for $94. That Sun he did not show up or called and when I called him he stated that I was mistaken. I feel that he just took me money for 15 min. of work.

It worked out great. I've used them since then a number of times. They were on time, in fact, they asked if they could come early, which worked out great for me.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for work with Budget Right Handyman. They hung a mirrored closet sliding door and fixed a stoop under the back screen door that had been rotting.

Figured out the problem with toilet with in 10 minutes. Was not properly seated when it was installed. Fixed and reinstalled the screen for our patio door. Installed a light in our upstairs hallway that needed a ladder. Arron was very professional and did not waste any time. I will definitely have him back. I could not be happier with the service.

I called Budget Right and they tried to fit me in for the very same day, which I appreciated, but it didn't work out. We made plans for a few days later. On the day of my appointment, Aeron called as he was running ahead of schedule, which actually worked out better for me & he was able to come a few hours earlier than originally scheduled. He quickly accomplished the tasks I asked of him. Some of the hinges I was trying to replace needed different hinges than the ones I had, so instead of having Aeron or me run to go get them, I decided to reschedule for another day. The one set of hinges for our outer door are very difficult to match & I was hoping the door fitting could be repaired without replacing them, but that's not the case. Aeron actually stopped at Home Depot on his way home & called to tell me that he couldn't find a match there, which I really appreciated. These particular hinges I've been trying to find online as no one seems to carry them. Aeron texted me later to state that he had been trying to find the hinges online, as well. I think that's pretty awesome service! I've scheduled another appointment with Budget Right and Aeron and plan to continue to use him whenever I need handyman services!
Description of Work: Aeron replaced some door hinges and replaced and mounted a solar spot light on our deck.

It was very good. They were efficient. They came right in and there were some trouble getting some of the supplies but they took care of that. They got everything in and cleaned up after themselves. They did a good job.

Aaron was running late however he called us to let us know. He was personable, patient, professional and polite--the four P's. If he didn't have to leave for another appointment, we would have put him to work on other repairs inside the house. Aaron was customer focused which pleased us.
Description of Work: Aaron straightened one panel of our vinyl backyard fence so that it matched the height of the other panels. For some reason, over the years, one panel's post kept gaining height. Aaron figured out what to do and fixed it efficiently. The second task was reinforcing a door jamb. Again, an efficient job using his own shims and screws.

It was very great. He advocated for me through his company to find the cheapest rates of labor. He is punctual, polite and takes a serious position on cleaning up after the job is complete. I recommend Aeron specifically.
Description of Work: Aeron is my contractor and he completed many tasks around my house that are now complete but were nagging me for some time. Painting (and sanding, caulking, installing TV mounts, filling holes in my walls, hanging shelves, etc. I have had him back at the time of this review four weeks in a row working for at least 4 hours each time as he is a trustworthy and knowledgeable profession. ,

Aaron was a few minutes early which was fine. he evaluated the project, explain everything that needed to be done, and approximately how much it would cost. He stay within the cost. he cover up the furniture and when he was done he clean up the mess. he was very nice and I would have him come back again to do any work I needed done. I would definitely have Budget Right Handyman do any work needed to be done and would recommend them to my friends.

Aaron arrived on time, professional and curteous. The date of service was memorial day which was great for my schedule. No extra charge for holiday. The time he quoted was for 2 hours each project-4 total. For the deck, he repaired extra spindles that he saw needing fixing. He was finished in 3.5 hours and offered his service for the remaining 30 minutes, but there was nothing I needed done at the time. He seemed knowledgable and trustworthy. I needed to run out and get some supplies and go to an appointment and I had no issue with him being in my home. BR was recommended to me by 2 friends. I would definitely use BR again for such handyman needs and I would specifically request Aaron. The price/coupon was very reasonable for the time/scope of work completed.

I live in a very old house, and so there are tons of things needing to be fixed. I had gotten quotes for some of them from other contractors, but they all wanted big projects, not to just fix the little stuff, so when I saw this offer I jumped at it. Budget Right was terrific. I had to reschedule because of a family emergency, but they had no problem with moving my appointment and getting someone here in the time frame I needed. Ken came and took a look at the things I wanted him to do, and was able to repair two problems, a bedroom door and the external window sill, in the two hour time frame. He came up with a way to fix the door that solved the problem in an elegant way with minimal disruption, and was able to fix the window sill with the materials he had in his truck. Both repairs function perfectly. He cleaned up after himself. He also looked around at some of my other projects and was able to give me estimates for what they would cost to do, and gave me some coupons. I will definitely be calling them again!

Although the repairs were minor, the tech was very professional and got on the job right away. Due to traffic, he was a little late but called me to let me know. I thought that was fine. I would hire them again for other repairs if and when the time comes.

Ken did the work. He was nice, but sawed in the bedroom instead of outside which left saw dust all over everything that could not sweep up. but he got the work done in the time for the project. He advised what to get and I went to buy it. Otherwise no complaints But Handyman budget was good to deal with. Had to reschedule due to flooding in the area and waiting for parts to pick up. Both the office and the handyman were good to deal with. there is more projects in the home that needs to be done so I will have budget Right Handy for them.

When I called last week to get an estimate, I had to leave a message. I got a call back the next day and the work was scheduled promptly for the week after. Aaron showed up right on time and originally told us that it would take 3 - 4 hours to get it all completed. But he ended up finishing at exactly two hours so I was able to just use the coupon to pay for the work (and $20 for the cement materials). I thought it was great that even though he had already told me that it'd take longer, he still tried to get it completed sooner and did a good job getting the mailbox replaced. I didn't feel like they tried to make more from me and would definitely use them again!

The service was quick and excellent. I purchased the $79 special offered on Angie's List. I kind of expected to last past the 2 hours covered in the special (in order to get an additional charge) but the service person came right in and worked non-stop. All jobs were complete within the 2 hours. I purchased a lower grade of caulk and the serviceman provided a higher quality caulk. I would definitely use this company again.
