Elvis was our contractor for 2 1/2 days and did a great job in our condo! The project managers Nick and Mike were also very helpful and prompt with helping me schedule my needed dates before we left for a trip. Budget Right Handyman is now our go-to company for any handyman/contractor needs. Thank you!

Work was completed as requested. Though two different colors of caulk were used around the tub and into wall corner. Would have preferred sticking to one color. If they ran out of the one color, better to say something rather than make assumption about the switch. Grout work was fine. It was as a regrout, so I don't expect perfection. I'm just glad we got everything resealed to prevent future water damage in the shower area.
Description of Work: fixed door of lazy Susan, installed shop lights, regrouted portion of bathroom tile and caulked around tub. Purchased Groupon deal, used 3 of 4 hours.

Estimated time according to BRH scheduler was 2 hours. It required twice that amount of time(4 hours) for no apparent reason. There were no trips for supplies and no significant or unforeseen complication. Carpenter tried a little from the bottom of the door, but that required all of 5-10 minutes. In the end, the quality of work was fine. Just took too long. BRH did finally charge me for 3 hours vs 4 after I complained.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
We appreciate the overall "B" rating. When contacting us customers should let us know if there are abnormalities associated with their projects. Normally a door slab install only takes one and a half to two hours tops; hardware, store run and everything. In this case the door frame was not square. As a result the door needed to be shaved down using multiple cuts. Adding insult to injury was the fact that every time a cut needed to be made our field technician needed to take the door up and down a flight of stairs to perform each and every cut outside of the home. Somewhat related.... a real challenge in this business is customers down playing work scopes. At the end of the day we bill by the hour. If customers want an accurate estimate please provide the most accurate information to us when you reach out to us. Not providing accurate information only hurts yourself and creates hard feelings. True side story. Most recently I had a young married guy call me about a complete condo remodel. I went out and met with him, talked in detail about his project. He was tearing out walls in the kitchen, bathroom, floors, closet rebuilds etc.... When I was there he informed me that I was the 30th contractor that he had out there. After I sent him the quote he sent me back a long email about how I along with every other contractor was attempting to cheat him. As I delved further into his email he basically estimated his compete condo remodel to be about two weeks. FYI he had a two month project which he was informed of. The disparity in how long a project would take, in this young mans case was vast ,however not uncommon. Bottom line is don't kid yourself or our estimating department about how long a project will take then shoot the messenger when reality hits home in the form of a bill. We are here to help however Field Technicians deserve to be paid for their expertise just like everyone else in this society - Dirk D. Hoerr, Co Founder

Nick Reyes arrived promptly and we discussed what projects I needed completed. He was very efficient and completed the work that was requested. He was extremely courteous and cleaned up everything after the work was completed. He had to remove the ceiling fan in the kitchen to repair the drywall. Two days after the work was completed I realized the ceiling fan was not working properly. The office returned my call promptly and scheduled Nick to come out and remedy the problem. The fan was fixed with no additional charge and I was happy with the work completed. I would definitely recommend this company and use their services in the future.
Description of Work: Due to a prior plumbing issue that left 2 holes in my kitchen ceiling I needed drywall repair and painting of the kitchen ceiling. I also needed the tile replaced in a shower along with caulking. I also needed the electrical outlets in 3 bathrooms and at the kitchen bar fixed.

I paid $300 and nothing was accomplished. I talked with a project manager explaining what our situation was on the floor of our bathroom shower. We have white deposits. He assured me they would take care of it and have the shower cleaned and sealed within 2-3 hours. The technician showed up and did not know what to do. He tried a couple of different products and non of them worked. Nothing was accomplished! The technician should have said the project manager does not know what he is talking about and this is over our head. I have asked for the call to be reviewed where I was promised success and of course they heard it differently. Then I was ignored. After putting a negative review on yelp I received an email within 15 minutes with excuses again. Bottom line is I'm out $300 and they refuse to refund my money when nothing was done.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
When we showed up the level of work described to clean up her slate shower area was far greater then she explained over the phone. She had tile cleaner on site that she wanted us to use. The first day we did attempted to use this customer provided cleaner. When that did not work we informed her that we could try something different. She agreed. We then ran to the hardware store and tried something a bit stronger. We left this new cleaner sit over night. We then came back the next day to see if it made any difference. It made little difference. We had two trips and a number of hours scrubbing and working on her slate tile. Our signed agreement was that she would compensate us for the time we spent working on her slate tile. She could have stopped us at any time however she chose to have us continue to come back and try again to salvage her shower floor. Sometimes customers wait too long to caulk and seal shower floors. This was one of those case. - Dirk D. Hoerr , Co Founder

Jared arrived 5 minutes before our scheduled time ready to work on the projects. His attitude was positive, friendly and knowledgable. He assembled the furniture quickly and solidly. He efficiently hung pictures for me and lastly adjust a door that wasn't closing. He was smart and precise. These projects would've taken me 12 hours and they took him 2!

Mario arrived approximately 5 minutes early (very punctual) and was quick to jump into assessing and starting the tasks at hand. In no way did he "take his time" - it was impressive his go-go-go attitude. He was polite and took off his work boots in the house without being asked. He helped with trouble-shooting and thinking through issues as well as addressing them. I would have Mario back again when new needs arise.
