The young handyman was punctual, polite & professional. He assembled the cart in good time- did not appear to try dragging it out (it’s an hourly rate). He was done within the hour. Very pleased with the service & would highly recommend, & use again myself.

Andrew was very punctual. He even called when he was on his way. He was able to change out the ceiling fixture and dimmer switch within the hour, even though other companies quoted me an outrageous hourly rate and 2-3 hour time frame. For the issue with the USB outlet, he was able to quickly diagnose the problem -- a tripped GFI in the circuit and a loose wire to the USB outlet. He finished everything (each issue was at a different housing unit) under 1.5 hrs. I was very happy with the work. I think I have found my new electricians!

It went well. Mr. Morgan arrived right on time at 9 AM, which is always a plus in my book. He got right to work fixing our broken lights, mounting a TV and filling in drywall. He even put up a cork board that wasn’t part of the original list. He was very professional and also personable.

Needed several small tasks completed before putting the house on the market. These included patching/painting, filling a floor vent with concrete, adding missing baseboard, caulking, junk haul away, and installing bathroom hardware. I spoke wtih Stan who was upfront about time, cost of labor and supplies and the additional cost for the haul away, which is only the what the dump would charge you if you took the items their yourself. Mario was the tech who came out and unfortunately for him, I was quite under the weather. He went through the list with me and asked if there was anything else. He laid out his timeline and got right to work. Poor guy felt bad about waking me, but he was quiet and very respectful. Mario even found issues I would definately call them again for any future projects.

Andy and Art did a great job on the floor, it is very solid. The trim could have been put back just a bit tidier when finished. They put a ding in the washer, but it is minor. I would use BRH again.

Mario C. did an awesome job on the repairs to my leaky tub, toilet and replacing kitchen faucet. He was on time, professional and did an outstanding job. This was my first time using Budget Right Handyman services, but it will definitely not be my last time. I highly recommend their services and Mario C.

Ever since I first got in touch with Stan, they were super responsive and very professional handling my request. Very flexible with timing and always reassured me that the job will be done well. The handy man- Art, arrived right on time and dealing with him was so smooth. He was polite and skilled. He completed the work quickly and ensured that I was satisfied. I will be calling them soon for all other handyman services at my new home and I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Thanks Stan and Art for making this an effortless and satisfactory experience.

Leonard and Nate were very capable and professional. As it happens pergola itself (from another vendor) was not as advertised. Wound up being too large for the space. They put the unit up - and when it became clear it was not going to fit, they took it back down and put it back in the box. They could tell I was disappointed, and even tried to figure out if there was a way to make it work. I may wind up building my own structure- if I do, I will have them back out. Some of my siding got cracked when they were carrying up the pieces of the pergola. They told me the company would be out next week to repair it. I will follow up here to let you know how that goes.

Highly recommend this place if you just have a bag of things to do but don't what to find all the specialists. Their web interface is awesome, and their customer support is very responsive. I had scheduled with them many times, and I think they are better over phones than over emails. Since they coordinate many handymen, they may mess up your appointments/miss your emails. I experienced this few times days prior, once day of, but they are always responsive and helpful. So you need to double check the confirmation, watch out for changes on their parts, and call them whenever you have questions. All of the handyman (I had 4 on many occasions) show up super on time, often before the scheduled time. So if you have a 8am job scheduled, you'd better sleep early the night before :) For handyman, I recommend Mario S and Art C. Both of them have painted for me, and Mario installed a barn door. The paint job was beautifully done, and the door is perfect. The installation of the door is really expensive (~1600 if you want to replace your current swing door with a barn door, door cost not included). Mario was not only fast, but he also fixed the door trim.

Nate did a very professional job. It was very important that since I am out of state that the tradesman could work well with my daughter. Shannon could not have been any more complimentary to Nate on his work ethic. He knew what to do and got everything done within the time that was originally estimated. I am looking forward to getting back to Budget Right for the next phase of the work to restore this bathroom from the flood damage.

Mario was great! He was knowledgeable about what needed to happen with our outlet that needed repair and he took care of some caulking for us as well. He worked quickly and did his work well. We also had a nice conversation. I'll request Mario again if we need any more work done.
