Everything looks great!
Description of Work: Workman showed up on time and ready to work. Showed him what I needed done and he was able to accomplish everything in a professional and efficient manner. I would definitely have him do more work - I was very pleased.

Description of Work: Rain, shine , sleet or snow. I love this guy. Aaron came to my house this morning and started promptly at 8 a.m.. As a Navy veteran of 15 years I can appreciate professionalism and I got all that I could ever want from Aaron. Professional and personable, Aaron started right away on my security doors in IN SPITE OF THE RAIN. I would and will recommend Budget Rite Handyman to anyone who needs work. Thank you Budget Rite Handyman

Good response
Description of Work: I used them before for handyman work. I called them just to find out if they did plumbing work too. Unfortunately he lost his phone and was not able to call me back on that day but did later in the week. He was apologetic and humble and I would do business with him again just because of his humble response on the phone. I like using them.

This customers calls were made outside of business hours and promptly returned the next day every time. When I woke her up on Saturday morning to offer her an appointment on the up coming Monday she declined. I suggested she get a refund from Angie's List and I hope she does.

See above.
Description of Work: The deal was $79, plus the company had a coupon for two additional hours of labor at a discounted rate of about $85 per hour if memory serves me correctly, so the total was higher than reflected above. The handyman, Ken, stayed for four hours and completed everything I requested aside from what he, quite honestly, told me I needed guidance from the manufacturer first for (and for that honesty I was grateful). He stapled down an unwieldy cable cord, repaired a broken cable switch plate, assembled a bike rack, repaired three broken cabinets, caulked and tried to weather-strip several windows (and improvised when a more major fix could not be done), and spray-painted some older exhaust fans (again, improvising to my satisfaction when a complete replacement job was not feasible right then and there). He used the first part of the four hours to go to the home improvement store to buy materials (which was added to the total). I was pleased with Ken's work, his efficiency, and his creativity.

Description of Work: Re-caulked tub/shower. It took 4 hours to complete. I did the same thing in my own home and it took 1.5 hours. Included stripping out old caulk, cleaning old caulk residue, and re-caulking the tub to wall seam. Mine came out looking better than the professional job, and I am no expert.

Not good.
Description of Work: We purchased coupon for $79.00 for 2 hours of handyman services. I had couple of things lined up for this like installing fan, change faucet. I also talked to owner and asked him that I would like the handyman to work for more than 2 hours and what will be cost. He informed that he will work more than 2 hours at discounted rate per hours. The handyman arrived on time and installed fan. Then I wanted him to change faucet in the tub. He opened the faucet and then could not fix it. After that he left as he was late for another appointment. I had to fix it myself which I did not do correctly and finally had to call a plumber and pay the plumber emergency fee.

If there are ever any issues where one of our service reps is unable to perform a task in the allotted about of time we can always reschedule for another day. If the task is beyond our abilities as appeared to be the case here we will let you know. We are handymen with a broad range of abilities however as with anything sometimes specialist with a greater degree of knowledge are needed.

Pleased with all items.
Description of Work: Handyman performed a variety of tasks/repairs from a list. He reviewed the issues with me in advance and arrived prepared. He was knowledgeable about a variety of household repairs. His jobs included light electical, changing outdoor bulbs, applying caulk (a very neat job here), and more. He was appropropriate ( didn't ask personal questions or over-chat) ,but was pleasant and easy to communicate with. I would call again, when my next list is ready.

Description of Work: The repairman patched the ceiling where a leak had created a crack. The job was ultimately finished satisfactorily, but the handyman went in and out of the house frequently to take smoke breaks, left for lunch and got lost and was a little inefficient as a result. The job got done, but the process was a bit irritating.

Description of Work: Aaron was very professional and courteous. I had a backyard fence that was falling apart and he quickly came up with a variety of ideas of how to fix it. He made sure he was able to do it within the two hours I had paid for and worked very hard to finish the job. He also took the time to explain everything and happened to have all the materials in his van so no need to go to the hardware store. He worked so quickly and efficiently that I was able to have him help out with a few other things in the house in the end - and he was so eager to help. Would highly recommend him and I already have another job set up for next week.

Description of Work: Handyman called several times to keep me abreast of his arrival time. He replaced 2 faucets in a timely manner. Seemed to be a very good job but after a few weeks the bathroom faucet started to leak around the base. However the door stop that he installed is working well.
