I had a list of 4 small jobs for Jesse to complete, and he did all of them very efficiently and swiftly. He knew exactly what to do, and I especially appreciate the extra care he took to repair the broken stair railing. Very kind man! Thank you, S. Walter

very appreciative of the work that was done . I had an issue with getting my window closed. Wasn’t sure if I needed a new window. I spoke with someone that initially tried to walk me through getting the window closed over the phone. They were very thorough and we’re trying to save me from having to pay some money, unfortunately, even with their guidance, I was unable resolve it on my own.I, we proceeded with scheduling an appointment and that was timely in getting an appointment on the books. My contractor was on time and was able to resolve the issue and gave me advice on how to support the frame moving forward when it gets off track. I would definitely use this company again it is hard to find companies that will be personable and not stick it to you as far as what you were being charged for.

Mr. Arriaga arrived about 20 minutes early. He did a fantastic job with my back door. It wouldn't close properly and I wasn't able to lock it. Mr. Arriaga sanded down the threshold wood somewhat, removed the metal attachment at the base of the door, trimmed it slightly, and re attached it with the door closed. Now it's easy to close the door and lock it, exactly what I needed. It still keeps cold air out of the house, so it's still energy efficient. He was very knowledgeable, definitely knew what he was doing. It was definitely the right decision to have him fix the back door.
Description of Work: Repaired door so that it opens, closes, and locks properly.

We had a great experience with Budget Right Handyman. It started with Sam C., who reached out to discuss our heating situation. Sam took a lot of time and asked a lot of questions to make sure that he scheduled the best technician for our needs. He fully explained what our appointment would entail, exactly what we needed to have ready, and how the pricing worked. Sam said that Manny would be perfect for our job. He was right! Manny showed up on time and got right to work. He asked us questions and performed all the necessary analysis. He pointed out what was working well in our home and explained what was causing our heating issues. He provided us with suggested solutions. Manny was knowledgeable, professional, and very courteous.
Description of Work: Manny performed a thorough analysis (including thermal imaging) of our windows, insulation, and HVAC system to help determine why we were not getting sufficient heat in certain rooms.

The Technician (Manny) came out and did a great job working on multiple projects
Description of Work: Manny came out and did a great job removing a rusted faucet and installing a new one. The parts were heavily rusted so it took him a while to get it out. He also installed an electrical outlet on the exterior, adjusted the front door threshold, and installed a 6ft mantel over the fireplace

The work was supposed to be initiated on 09/28/2024 at 9:00 am. Due to rain overnight, I grew concerned about one line item on the initial quote that required cement work. I started calling the office from 8:00 that morning and leaving messages. I even sent a text message asking for someone to call me. I wanted to also ask that when the team showed up, that they call my phone instead of ringing the door bell because it is so loud. No calls were returned and no text was responded to. When the representative (the same person who originally performed the inspection and proposal that I signed) showed up, he was accompanied by one other worker. Their names: Miguel Romero and Brian Gonzalez. I was anticipating several projects to be addressed on that day and the appointment was to begin at 9:00 am. Although they arrived right on time, I met them at the front door to immediately ask about my concerns due to the weather. Miguel explained that they never do cement work when there is rain due to complications water may cause in the drying and setting of the cement. After confusion about what I was expected to sign to begin the work and what fees I would be charged based on what was done in that day and what would happen on any return days that followed, everything went bad. Miguel ended up walking away, shouting from his car to me at my door that I was being rude to him. He then turned to Brian and encouraged him to leave as well. I asked numerous times to allow me to speak with his "supervisor" to understand all this new pricing information and my request about signing off for work that was never going to be addressed. He continued spewing negative accusations at me. The truth was he was being condescending, rude and impatient with me. He wanted me to assume he represented the company, yet he would not sign off on work he was not able to perform due to bad weather conditions. I offered to go back to the company and reschedule that work as a separate job and asked that he be willing to draw a line through that one item and both of us initial the agreement to omit that from the project. He refused. Ultimately Miguel drove off and Brian followed. Later I received a call back from one of the person's who work in the office. He confirmed the many calls I made prior to the team's arrival and the text messages. He took notes as I explained my concerns and my overall humiliation over how I was treated. He advised he would get back with me with an answer and have his customer relations team connect with me as well. About another hour or more after that, I received a text message and an email advising me that they would not be able to help me with the job and that I should find another company to help me. In a separate message, I received confirmation that I would not be charged for the day because I did not cancel the project. They accepted that it was their worker, Miguel Romero, and ultimately Brian Gonzalez who left
Description of Work: The provider charged a fee for the initial inspection and proposal for work which was billed at $99.

Response from Budget Right Handyman
As the owner of the company I received a phone call from the guys in the field that AM when this was all going down. Without getting too personal or negative I advised them to not get involved with this customer any further and to just leave. She was not charged for anything. - Dirk D. Hoerr, Co- Founder Budget Right Handyman

Scheduling the appointment for our bathroom faucets and shaving down our front door was easy speaking with Gage. Budget right handyman is cheaper than other handyman services I checked into and they work on weekends (which no other handyman services offered). I can't say enough about Victor who was assigned to our project. He arrived on time. He was professional, he worked efficiently to access our issue and presented us with options to choose from. He was very easy to talk to and listened to our concerns, made suggestions and answered all of our questions. He is a handyman that knows his stuff! We are extremely happy with the end result and have already scheduled our next project! Anytime that I can specifically request Victor, I WILL!

Needed to raise some walls in my condo, in addition to new baseboard, casing and doors. I got quotes from 3 different companies and Budget Right came in at a fair price and asked important questions that the other to providers didn’t ask, giving me the confidence that they know what they’re doing. Project went successfully and would definitely hire them again. Jesse and Thomas were the ones doing the work and they were fantastic to work with.
