It went very well.
Description of Work: My Handyman's name was Tim. I saw him when he arrived for the appointment about 15 minutes ahead of time, but he sat outside and then rang my bell promptly on time. He came in and walked through my home with me making a list of those items that I wanted taken care of. He was very courteous, very helpful when I asked questions about different items. I had a ceiling fan installed, a leaky faucet replaced, trim-work around my doorways and windows and walls patched to prepare for painting. All of this was done with no problems. I will be calling again as I now need to have the painting done.

Great experience overall!
Description of Work: I bought a "Big Deal" - 2 hours for $79 of handyman services and Aaron replaced my garbage disposal, went out and bought a new part and fixed my blinds and also quickly worked on my sink drains. Aaron really knows his job and is quick and resourceful at coming up with solutions to fix a problem. He told me he loves his job and it truly shows. I will definitely call him back to fix a few other things around the house.

Description of Work: We got a new refrigerator for our basement and needed to create a space for it. The carpenter from Budget Right came and cleared out some shelves for a custom fit. He did an excellent job, was courteous and very pleasant and cleaned up well also. Could not have gone smoother. I would highly recommend Budget Right.

Description of Work: Fixed door that came off hinges, and attempted to remove small piece of paneling and create smooth drywall surface. Drywall bubbled, and handyman did not show at the next scheduled time to fix it. I hired another handyman to do the job. Nearly 400 dollars for the five minutes it took to fix the door is far too expensive in my opinion. He was at our house for eight hours, and the wall was about 2x4.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
We did not charge $400 for 5 minutes worth of work. This customer statement is a bit confusing. As she stated in the very next sentence we were there for 8 hours dealing with removing paneling and a door jamb to attempt to fix something the right way rather than place a bandaid on it. When we attempted to call her back at her original number in order to get back over there and finish sanding the drywall, the phone message went right to voice mail. I think this customer thought we blew her off when in fact there was simply a communication issue with her not receiving her voice mail. We placed another call into her after viewing this report and still have heard nothing back. If she would like to call us back and clarify some of these statements we would like to hear from her as we view her as a good customer. That was the third project we performed for her BTW with the first two obviously having gone just fine. When situations come up like this as they often do with the volume of business we perform in the Chicagoland Area, we would expect management to get a phone call first in order to get an opportunity to address the issue rather than just get blasted on Angie's List. It takes two in order to establish a long term working relationship. However, if a homeowner does not even bother to pick up the phone and communicate their concerns to us we have no way of knowing how to please them. (877)-507-2126

Description of Work: I live in New Mexico and I set up this job for my elderly mother who lives in Illinois. From the beginning, as requested, Budget Right Handyman called me back to shedule this appointment a month in advance when I would be in Illinois visiting my mother. When they arrived they realized the job was too big for one man and I was going to be leaving town soon, so theyre- scheduled the job for a weekend so that my mom's other kids could be there with her. This in my opinon was well above and beyond expected service. As for the work, they got there on time and got it done! Very timely. My mother is very pleased with the quality of the work. All things considered, this is one of the best contractor/handyman experiences I have ever had and I would gladly call them again if needed.

Description of Work: He tried to repair an area of deteriorating wood around a patio door frame. It took too long to dry so he couldn't finish it. Now, i have to hire someone else to finish it. It was far less than a two-hour job, but needed to be done in two separate visits.

Description of Work: I chose this company because of the good reviews in the Angies list booklet. The company sent a truly awful carpenter. I paid for a two hour period of time and in that time he was only able to hang one picture and install three curtain rods. The picture he hung does not hand flush with the wall and in the process of this job he broke a glass table top. On the three curtain rods that he hung he did not fit the end caps to cover the screws that came with the rods. He attempted to hang more pictures but was unable to figure out the measurements and left me with one hook hanging in the wall and pencil marks on the wall. The man told me that he would replace the glass table top but it took forever. When it came time for him to leave, he asked me for $25 to cover his gas costs. I was so upset that I gave him the money just to get him to leave. When my glass top did not come I finally called the company and they had someone bring out the table top. This person was not interested in any of the shoddy work and left after giving me the glass. By the way, the glass does not match what was on the table before it was broken. This experience was so bad that I don't want anything to do with either the company or Angies List ever again.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
Unfortunately everything this customer said is true. That individual that we had working for us for a very short period of time has since been let go. If customers have a bad experience it is important to contact the company at 877-507-2126. Even though we have solid "A" ratings on Angie's List bad situations do occur and we want to hear about them in order to correct the problem or be made aware of personnel issues. We are looking to establish long term working relationships and the only way to accomplish that is through good communication between our homeowners and service representatives.
