James Ford arrived on time and did a great job. He worked in the rain to get the job done. I’ve used Budget Right Handyman several times over the past few years. Always satisfied with their service.

We performed no work for this customer. Typically if we do not perform requested work we attempt to assist customers by referring companies that might be able to assist.

We were first time customers and our experience with Budget Right Handyman was extremely positive. Both Chris and Nick in the front office were very professional and helpful in explaining the process and scheduling the work. Andy S. arrived as scheduled and performed quality work within the time frame quoted. Andy was very professional. We ran into a glitch with the completed work. We contacted Budget Right Handyman and Chris on the spot came up with a solution. Luis M. took care of everything to our complete satisfaction. Luis was great. Prices are fair and reasonable. I will definitely use Budget Right Handyman in the future and recommend them.

Mario from Budget Right Handyman was prompt, professional and on task. The projects were completed in the estimated time frame and to my satisfaction. While the hourly rate was initially off-putting, Mario's promptness and focus made up for it.

My appt was for 9:00 & at 9:20 I received a call from Stan (the handyman) saying he was coming out instead of the original guy Joey. Stan said he’d be there within the hour & he did arrive well within that time. By beef is & the reason for my two fair ratings, I would have appreciated a call or text from the company letting me know Joey would not be coming & that they were sending someone else who could not be at my house by 9, instead at 8:50 I received only an emai that Stan was coming with no other explanation. I don’t check my email every few minutes. Stan once he arrived was great & installed my lights within an hour. So yes I’d use you guys again & hopefully I get Stan.

We had plumbing work done where they had to go into the wall. We needed drywall patched and tiles put back in. We hired Budget Right after finding them on Angie's List. Stan West and Luis Martinez were extremely professional and our bathroom looks fantastic now. They put up the drywall and tiles, repainted the walls and recaulked the tub. Budget Right made the project go very easy and the work is very good, I will hire them again.

Elvis was on time, worked quickly and was very professional. He knew exactly how to get the job done. My house looks much better.
Description of Work: I had a block window put in the bathroom by a different contractor who does not do inside bathroom tile work. So I had the handyman put in the tiles around my bathroom window as well as different projects I had neglected such as patching and painting spots of my living room ceiling where the nails had come out and painting parts of my bathroom where there was some water damage.

Initially, I was very unhappy with the handyman they sent. I spoke to the company and they promised to fix the issue and send another handyman to take care of things. Exceptional customer service. It is unfortunate that the original handyman that came to my house did not have the skills. The company made it right by promising to send another person.

My main beef -- and it is a small one -- was that little bits of mess were left around the project areas, and the shovel used to mix the concrete (for the fence post) was left with concrete on it when it could have easily been rinsed off. These messes seemed to be a message that women should clean, not supervise handymen. People who do good work -- and he did good work -- usually show a lot of pride and tidy up their work areas when they are done. The fence post turned out to be a tricky problem and he showed a lot of persistence and a strong back, eventually using a pick to remove the old concrete and remains of the old fence post. The end result looks sturdy and was neatly done. The weatherstripping was applied very neatly around the front and back doors and the toilet flushing mechanism was properly installed -- the instructions looked VERY complicated. We would definitely hire Budget Right Handyman again. And the communications from the office were very professional and helpful.
Description of Work: Three items: a fence post needed shoring up, weatherstripping around the front and back doors, and changing out the guts of a toilet flushing mechanism.

They did install but the spacing was wrong. The space for the ref should be 36, but they left 37. And for a 30 inch range, they left 33 inches And they are not returning my contacts.
