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!

Excellent. Kevin was on time, he had the tools he needed to complete the work, and was efficient and effective. I will definitely use the service again (I already identified the next project), and I hope to work with Kevin again. In a few hours, he easily completed work that was on my to-do list for years. I give my highest recommendationUPDATE: My family continues to work with Kevin. He's just wonderful.
