We had three or four relatively simple and straightforward household repairs. They were easy to deal with and professional. Would definitely use them again. So many other companies in this category are unprofessional and difficult to deal with. It’s nice that these guys are in business.

I was very pleased with the work completed for me by Kevin P. with Budget Right Handyman. He painted two large rooms, completed some touch up work from prior painting, and power washed my patio and fence. He was prompt, friendly, explained things that would make the job better, and most importantly, efficient. I would use them again, especially Kevin. Many thanks.

When I called to set up an appointment it took days of telephone tag to finally reach someone. We got a quote of 82.00/hour and about 2 and a half hour time quote. We were told that Nick would be out to do it. Ryan showed up. It took him much longer than anticipated and so he wanted more money; after calling someone, they conceded to give it to us for the original quote. The drywall that he installed was not flush with the rest of the existing wall. There are still large seams that are not even. I feel like he left the job unfinished. The rate seemed really reasonable but the responsiveness and workmanship were not quality.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
We do not provide "quotes". We provide cost estimates based on the workscope that is described to us by the homeowner. Unlike other companies we do not "pad" our cost estimates. We are a time and materials company. Our customers only pay for the time that we are there. Company wide we over estimate our jobs by 25%. We appologize for the phone tag as we have recently been inundated with calls due to our surpassing 3,500 reviews and an "A" rateing on Angie'[Member Information Removed] List. Dirk D. Hoerr, Co Founder Budget Right Handyman

Nick Reyes removed old 70’s wallpaper in my kitchen, installed a fan and kitchen light. So far so good, he’ll be coming back next week to complete the project. He’ll paint the kitchen, install a new sink and faucet, a replace the old faceplates. I am pleased with his work thus far, and super excited that he was able to remove the wallpaper without damaging the walls.

The original time was set for 1:00 but Jesse finished other jobs earlier and called to ask if he could come sooner which was nice. Once here he examined both issues, identified the best way to repair the issues, then went to Home Depot to get the needed parts. He kept me informed as he did the work which included removing the door off the hinges for a bit, and got it all done in just over two hours time. A job well done.

This turned out to be a two visit job. The frat visit he did not have his saw to cut the panels. Five days later he had his saw. He nailed the paneling on the wall, not glued. There are gaps between the panels. His handheld saw was not sharp and the panels were burning. Also I wanted my drop down ceiling repaired and the panels replaced. I was told that they do not cut the rails. The ceiling is undone.. Also on a wall that adjoins the "tile pattern does not match. I Am not satisfied.

This customer more than likely has a legitimate concern. The field tech that we placed on this project had just started with us and did not meet our standards. He has since been let go. We are reaching out to this customer to assist with guaranteeing our work. - Dirk D. Hoerr, Co-Founder, Budget Right Handyman

Contacted Budget Right using one of their 2 hour for $119 deals to perform several small tasks around my new home. I had to reschedule twice (which was my fault) and in both cases, the tech wasn't informed of the reschedule, but did call beforehand so his time wasn't wasted. Once I was able to establish a date, the tech arrived on time and performed all of the tasks. He cleaned up after himself and was very polite and professional. The job was completed to the highest satisfaction. Overall, I would definitely go with them again for future handyman work.
Description of Work: Needed new blinds hung, ceiling fan installed, and several bathroom towel holders installed.

Greg was great: he called ahead because he was finished with the previous job early, so he arrived early to my job, too. He repaired the hole in the ceiling, and he also suggested a bleach solution that would get rid of the urine smell emanating from the ceiling. The job is well and thoroughly done.

I had 2 rooms painted. I had to check for missed spots, and point them out. Paint from 1st room got mixed in with 2nd room paint, so touch up spots on 2nd room were done with a mixture, had to redo, resulting in me paying for extra time. Also found paint drips on my carpet. Drywall work was done well. Plumbing work that was done on my toilet did not resolve the problem, due to the parts that were purchased did not fit properly.
