Budget Right Handyman,

520 West Erie Street, Chicago, IL 60654

"I normally don’t post negative reviews of the trades. It’s hard work and we need more people doing it. Also you don’t want to burn your ability to hire later. But after a string of just abysmal experiences putting this out there because why should I or anyone accept substandard work? I’m red of being labeled as difficult because I dare to complain about what you see in the photo. I think the photo says it all. No pride in work. No communication. Also be warned this company charges you for everything. Need a small drywall patch? You’re buying a box of screws. I had a simple job that I asked a fixed price for that was 300% the time it actually took and were offended (and insulting) when I challenged them on it. Sent two guys for a 1 man job (where you’re paying $100/hr ea) so I could pay 2 guys to run to the store. I had a really simple scope of work, wrote it down, and they couldn’t even complete it. Apparently their “carpenter” handymen don’t even travel with mitre saw, nails or an oscillating saw. For $100/hr when they’re probably paying the guys doing the work $25-35 I would expect maybe someone to review photos of the work done and correct issues before the customer has to bring it up. When I expressed how frustrated it was owner couldn’t even be bothered to call me. Stay away from these call center type services. Find someone doing the same work and pay them directly. No guarantees you’ll get better work but hopefully there’s a more productive conversation to be had. No more excuses!"

"I'm always completely delighted with working with budget right handyman. They are very communicative, workaround schedules, have various options for the way you can get your work done, and specifically for my drywall needs Matt has never been beat. He is a pleasure to work with an artist quite frankly and hey consummate professional."

"I needed a tv mounted into tile. It was a little bit complicated with previous drill holes and thick tile. I appreciated the detailed phone call prior to making the appointment so the company understood the situation. They made sure to set the appointment with someone who had experience with tile. I worked with Keri. She was easy to work with and knew what she was doing!"

"This handyman company put up blinds and Xmas lights for me and replaced a fan. Miguel did a great job! Prior to this Mike set up my couch, put my TV stand together and my new TV on it. He also replaced my showerhead. They both did a great job and were very nice. I would definitely recommend this company!"

"Keri did excellent tile backsplash work in my kitchen. She was prompt, courteous, hardworking, and kept the area clean. The project was finished quickly, and she did beautiful work!"
