I needed to repair some water damage in my living room ceiling and, having used Budget Right Handyman previously for a similar project, I went straight to them and, once again, they did not disappoint. Booking the project was straightforward and a technician was assigned to visit my place within a few days. The technician, Manny, went above and beyond to make sure the ceiling looked pristine, including preparing a custom mold to replaster a moulding in the room (for which no off-the-shelf replacement existed, since this is a really old building). This did result in the project going over budget, but they communicated clearly that the project would take longer than originally anticipated once they realized the moulding would require custom plastering. And the results were, honestly, impeccable; you cannot tell that the moulding was ever damaged, and the ceiling looks great.

I was very pleased at the pleasant personality & professionalism of the technicians Marshon Hughes & leonard Bailey. They were prompt to the designated appointment time (actually early). They installed my air conditioner unit in under 40 minutes and cleaned up after themselves. I would definitely use Budget Right Handyman services again. I even referred them to a friend for HVAC services.

Edgar did a great job in hanging my chandelier. When he first arrived, he took one look at my current setup and could tell the previous owners did not hang their light fixtures properly. He was able to help me decide on what I should do next and quickly got the job done within the hour. I've hired an electrician before to hang a similar chandelier and the electrician took much longer. I've used Budget Right Handy man for a number of services from drywall, electric, and tiling and they always do a great job. Would highly recommend Budget Right Handyman and Edgar for any electrical work!

FIRST OFF HES WAS A VERY NICE GUY. HE WAS 30 MINUTES LATE AND COULD NOT COMPLETE THE WORK AS REQUESTED. AND CHARGED ME FOR COMING OUT, FOR LESS THAN 15 MINUTES, BECAUSE HE IS NOT A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND COULD NOT PERFORM THE WORK. I SHOULD HAVE NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY HIM BECAUSE I ASKED FOR AN ELECTRICIAN. IF YOU REQUIRE ELECTRICAL WORK PERFORMED CALL SOMEONE ELSE FOR YOUR ELECTRICAL NEEDS. I COULD HAVE USED THAT MONEY TO COVER THE CERTIFIED ELECTRICAN.

Matthew was very professional, pleasant, and a great communicator. From the day before the project, he reached out to get background details on the project as well as to request more detailed photos so he can plan day one. He arrived right on time from day one, assessed what he needed to buy, made a trip to get the materials, then worked into the night. He was tasked to build a custom drywall soffit around a motorized movie screen bracket that was hanging below a drop ceiling. I was concerned as to how obtrusive this low overhanging soffit would look, but Matthew’s soffit looked clean and blended in with surround walls by structure and color in the end. He also kept his work area very tidy each day and paid great attention to details esp when it came to the painting and even the crisp look of the drywall edges where the soffit met different surface textures of walls (fireplace brick, wood panel, drywall). He was very efficient and finished the overall project a little under the originally projected cost! Would definitely hire this company and esp ask for Matthew on my next project! Thank you!

Budget Right Handyman is the way to go! Upon my initial contact via their website, they called me right away to ask additional questions about my project. They were able to schedule a time for our handyman Justin L. to come out that accommodated our schedule. Justin arrived on time, and got the job done perfectly. He checked in with us along the way. The job was completed in less time then anticipated, and we couldn't be happier with the work. We will defiantly use Budget Right Handyman again. Thank you Budget Right and Justin for a job well done!
