The ceiling and adjacent wall were damaged from a leak and needed repair. The ceiling had a recessed light in the area that was damaged. BRH's John Evans did a great job, was on-time, and completed the job in the time we thought it would take. We kept it to 2 hours, so that included the first layer of tape and mud. We would definitely use again

Ray arrived on time and reviewed the list of things to be accomplished. He worked from the bottom of the house all the way up, completing each item, task by task. He was very personable and professional and verified with me after completing each item. I have used Budgetright in the past and will continue to use them for small jobs around the house.

Luis came out and identified the problem immediately. He then checked other nearby outlets to ensure the problem wasn't in any other areas. He drove to the store and bought the parts, came back and made the fix. All in an hour and a half (saving me $$ from having to pay for additional hours). He was also early for the appointment and was very easy to chat with. I would recommend him to anyone!

John was honest. He showed me how the switch he replaced operated step by step. He was personable and even called when he was available earlier than scheduled. He was able to use his time efficiently and completed the projects we had hoped. I wish there was a way I could have known what materials to buy ahead of the visit so that he would not have had to go to pick up materials. Next time I could be sure to have extra adult home to run for supplies so the expert electrician would be able to do more work vs the shopping.

I purchased Budget Right Handyman's spring special of two hours of work for $119.00. The fellow that BRH sent called me the day before the work was to be done and asked if he could come earlier. I was delighted to let him get the work done sooner in the day. He swaped out two old toilets for two new Eljer toilets that I had purchased and did the work in just under two hours.

Thought the locks would have to be replaced. Budget Right Handyman recommended that the old locks can be fixed and adjusted. He was very nice, efficient and clean, saved us from buying a new lock. There was another slight adjustment that needed to be done, because we didn't check properly before he left. After we called we got immediate response and had the adjustment made. We are very happy with the service.

Andrew San Roman arrived right on time, looked the job over then went out to purchase the correct color of caulk. Job was done neatly, efficiently and quickly. I would definitely hire this company again. Very good communications with central office thru phone calls and emails to confirm time of service and name of tech.

GREAT! Always ask for Raymond Bledsoe! He is amazing! He knows what he is doing. He is very professional and he gets the work done correctly. I use Budget Right often but will only use Ray when I need work done. He installed the toilet in one hour then I had him unclog a sink and tighten up a few things. I purchased a two-hour voucher and it was worth every penny.

My technician was Kevin P. He repaired an extensive drywall crack in my ceiling. He explained everything he was going to do. He was professional and courteous. The estimated time I was given for completion was approximately 5 hours. The work was completed in half the time, which saved me money. He was also able to remove an old mailbox and hang my new mailbox. I have used BRH a few of times within the last year.

First I have to say the guys that completed the job WERE AWESOME(thank you). What I have a problem with is how the information is presented and when speaking with someone that is supposed to be the owner of the company. Dirk Hoerr he is an extremely rude an aggressive man his attitude when he initially called me back, because one of his project coordinators told him I had an issue with billing. Was very disrespectful and the phone call went down hill from there. The coupon that I purchased was for up to 4 hours of handyman service. If what I requested was a two person job that should have been said to me verbally as well as in writing. That was never done. I will dispute my charge with this company and we can have our lawyers communicate if necessary but if this guy is unbelievable I hope the phone calls are recorded. I would love for the public to see how this man talks to his customers. Thank you Dirk for showing me the man behind the company. I will never do business with this place because of you and the way in which price quoting is presented to the public.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
Fortunately for Budget Right Handyman in the State of Illinois contracts matter. In this case our contract with this individual clearly stated exactly what we were going to charge her per hour and exactly the number of hours she was going to be charged. In addition we had two of this individuals signatures acknowledging each of these two items along with the project being completed to her satisfaction. Questioning cost before work is performed is reasonable and to be expected. Questioning the cost after cost have clearly been presented to you in writing and after ordering the work to be completed is less then genuine. This individual may now enjoy the mechanics lien that was legally placed on her home for her attempts at theft of services. - Dirk D. Hoerr, Co Founder, Budget Right Handyman

Manny performed very capably. He arrived with all necessary tools and quickly completed the main task of preparing the subfloor in my kitchen for a future project. After removing the old framing and odd tiles from the subfloor, he had time left to fix a door. He reattached the hinges to the bathroom door, which had collapsed. The subfloor is now cleared out, and the bathroom door stays up and swings. Based on my experience, I would call Budget Right for any number of quick jobs needed in my home.
