Description of Work: I bought a "Big Deal" from Angie's List for two hours of work. I ended up having Budget Right redo my entire bathroom. I highly recommend Ivan, who did all my work. His attention to detail and professionalism makes him a pleasure to work with. I would definitely work with this firm again (and i will request Ivan)!

Description of Work: Did not arrive at appointed time. Phone for calling to check in on appointment with provider had voice mail. Provider called after I contacted Angie's list to complain. Provider apologized because he did not put me on the schedule. Carpenter arrived without wood and asked me if I had any wood he could use. Carpenter told me he was sent here in a hurry without any time for prep which explains why he had no wood with him. Since he was a carpenter without wood and hence could not fix the bed frame I specifically asked to be fixed, I told him I would ask for a refund and sent him home. No work was accomplished; Carpenter was here less than five minutes. Complete waste of my time.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
No work was done for this customer. I apologized for my mistake and had a service rep on the scene within one hour of the appointment start time. He had informed me that a bed needed to be repaired, however even if the service rep had prior knowledge he would not have had wood with him. We can't carry an entire Home Depot with us - we have to first see what you need. Our men show up tools in hand ready to work, however if there is a material that is being installed in your home they most likely will not have it. There is no up charge for materials. You pay what we pay. You are just paying for their time to get it.

Description of Work: I bought the Big Deal for the Budget Right Handyman. I scheduled an appointment for 8/5- they couldn't have been nicer. I was actually able to fix the problem myself so I cancelled the appointment on 8/3. I am requesting a refund only because I tend to forget about these things and not use them. This in now way shows any dissatisfaction with the provider. At this point, I just don't need their service. However, I will absolutely call them in the future if I need their services.

Description of Work: We had intermittent contact between June 15 and June 29, but nothing was ever scheduled. The guy said he was busy. In my opinion, he should have still scheduled something, even if it was 3 months from now. We would rather cancel the service than try to chase him down.

Description of Work: My tenants said they showed up and were not able to complete what had been asked of them. Budget Right did not call me to tell me why or what happened. I had to hear it from my tenants. I would at least have expected a phone call from them and not just my tenants.

We did no work here. If a landlord is not available by phone at the time we cannot preform any work.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
We did no work for this individual. We did attempt to contact them as we always do. We work for a lot of landlords across the Chicagoland area and it is often a challenge getting tenets to return phone calls or show up for the appoints. Just last week I personally had an HVAC guy call 1 hour before and schedule an appoint with one of my own tenants in a rental unit of mine and of course the tenant failed to show up. It is unbelievable that "adults" can be so irresponsible however that is just a fact of the world we live in. We welcome any and all landlords business however they need to realize that we need to work together in order to get the job accomplished. At the end of the day we are not babysitters of tenants however contractors here to help landlords accomplish their home improvement projects.

Description of Work: Not very well. I purchased the 2-hour handyman service for my tenant. The scheduling person, Tim, contacted the tenant to schedule a time. The tenant said she only sent 4 items to be completed and it would not take longer than 2 hours. Tim and the person assigned to the project said it would take 4 hours. If it was the 4 items she let me know about, it definitely would not have taken 4 hours to do. I was not there for their communication but Tim asked that I get a refund because she could not work with the tenant.

We did no work for this costumer. As she said she got her coupon returned. This woman's tenant was very rude with me and my service rep. We reserve the right to work with reasonable people.
