The original time was set for 1:00 but Jesse finished other jobs earlier and called to ask if he could come sooner which was nice. Once here he examined both issues, identified the best way to repair the issues, then went to Home Depot to get the needed parts. He kept me informed as he did the work which included removing the door off the hinges for a bit, and got it all done in just over two hours time. A job well done.

I used Budget Right Handyman to mount a couple items that had fallen off the wall in our office restrooms that I just didn't have time to get to. They were professional and great to work with. In and out quickly. Already thinking about the next job they may be able to assist with.

I used Budget Right Handyman to fix an oversized and very heavy bi-fold door. Nate showed up and did a great job. I was very satisfied.

Budget Right Handyman was able to schedule me with a technician just two days later when I needed some minor repairs prior to selling my condo. Kevin arrived right on time (no four hour windows here) and promptly assessed all the needed repairs and even some additional suggestions we hadn't thought of. I realized that I had the wrong screws for the door handle he was supposed to install, and while I was at Home Depot he was helpful on the phone with finding the right screws. Definitely recommend!

Loved the communication and Jesus was more of an artist than a handyman. He was able to get the door to fit just right and the insulation strip is perfect! Many thanks!
