Ranjit B.

They could not complete the work as requested. He was not a certified technician and could not perform the work. He charged me $79 and he also asked for additional payment. I could have used the money to hired a certified electrician. If you require electrical work performed call somebody else for electrical needs don't hire electricians from this company.

My old kitchen faucet was leaking and bought replacement faucet at a big box hardware awhile back and looking for a pro to install. Made arrangements with another company that offered coupon via Angi but was not provided up front pricing on the install, just the cost of visit. When the pro arrived, they sized me up and asked $500 for the install after getting the foot in the door. I declined and he contacted his dispatcher and lowered the amount somewhat but I still declined and indicated I'll just pay for the visit. The pro knew I wasn't down with their pricing game and was straight up and waived the fee for visit. Then made arrangement with a different big box hardware that offers installation with independent contractors with up front pricing and purchased a better kitchen faucet. Was supposed to get a call from the contractor shortly prior to appointment but never got a call nor did they respond to email and my call to them. Once the contractor was revealed to me after scheduling the installation, I did an online search and the review suggested this pro was known for not following up on calls or appointments. After the scheduled date and time passed and a no show, I rescheduled for another installer with the big box but then contacted BRH just in case. They offered to do the job for half the cost of the big box contractor and I scheduled the install with BRH, then cancelled with the big box. Keri from BRH showed up promptly at the scheduled time and was in and out in less than an hour. My new kitchen faucet runs fine and no more leak.

The man who installed the door was on time, had the tools he needed, installed the door efficiently. The door looks great, the dogs love it. He cleaned up after himself. The Handyman from Budget Right is the best!

My job was a little complicated because we needed the old sink/towel bars removed before the wall paper guy came and then needed the new stuff re-installed with the new stuff. Edgar and the woman who accompanied him were wonderful, they were quick and so attentive to detail. I love the new bathroom!

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.

We agreed on pricing once there they tried bullying me into $800 more dollars in which the total would have been completely Absurd.. I declined there bullying tactics and was still rob illegally for $198.00 for no work done from my account.. Please be aware when doing any business that they are predators and crooks with a smile…!!!!!!!

Waleitha M.

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.
