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!
