I am doing a total bath/laundry room reno that involves adding multiple sinks, adding light fixtures, moving all conduit and plumbing in a wall, moving outlets, new shower valve, new washer pan, dryer outlet, etc. First, the company's website asks you to fill out a form describing your job, then just tells you to call their number to describe it again and schedule an estimate, which seemed like a waste of time. But I called, and Darrell told me he'd get in touch with me Thursday to schedule a visit on Friday. Finally at 9:30pm on Thursday he told me he'd be there between 2:30-3:30 on Friday. Friday I took time off work and waited, finally texting him at 3:48 to ask if he was still coming. He responded that he was on the way. At 4:28 I asked for an ETA, and he told me he was behind and no longer coming, and when he'd said he was on the way he'd thought I was someone else. After taking time off work and waiting two hours, I was pretty upset, but still politely told him that I would've appreciated a heads up earlier that he wasn't coming instead of making me sit there waiting for two hours. Obviously if I hadn't texted him he had no intention of ever reaching out to me to let me know, and he has absolutely zero regard for a potential customer's time. But instead of being apologetic, he was demeaning and insulting, saying I can send you a $5 Starbucks card as an apology. Comes across as *extremely* childish and unprofessional, when you have blown someone off, wasted their time, and cost them money taking time off work, to dismissively offer them $5. I would even understand if I was wasting his time asking for a light bulb to be changed, but this was a relatively big job. My architect told me some contractors are sexist and probably treated me that disrespectfully because I'm a woman, but it's also possible Darrell is just that rude to everyone. Based on his reviews that seem to be mostly about changing light fixtures or fixing leaks, I also wonder if his team is just not equipped for a job of this size so he blew it off, but it also would have been polite to simply say that up front instead of scheduling a consult he had no intention of showing up for.Definitely not someone I would trust to show up for a job, do it competently, or treat me and my home with respect.(And just in case he attempts to claim the offer of a $5 Starbucks card was not an insult but an attempt at a sincere apology and simply the best he can afford, he obviously never sent one, lol.)Edit in response to his reply: 1) Weird that you claim a total remodel is small for you but all your reviews are for replacing light fixtures. 2) Yes we all have bad days, but it still takes under a minute to let a customer know you are having a bad day and won't make it. We could've rescheduled if you'd had the respect to do that. Please explain why you made no effort to notify me. 3) Congratulations on your binders full of women; like I said, I'm also totally open to the possibility you're rude to all genders. That was just my architect's guess. 4) You have all of my contact information, I gave three days before leaving a review, and you still have not reached out to apologize or send any of these cheap regifted gift cards you keep promising, so do not publicly pretend the offer is sincere. 5) How is it odd to let you know blowing me off had actual consequences for me, and a heads up would've been nice?

Joe, Pablo and Demond were great to work with. They painted my place and repaired some smaller issues before I listed my place. I was so comfortable I left town while they did the work and arrived home to my place looking great. They are friendly, knowledgeable and I'd use them again.

I hired Budget Right to do several projects for my association building. I also sell real estate and had been recommending them as well. However, my recent experience has not been positive.I've been working with them to get these projects completed for a couple of months now (and all the projects are STILL not completed). I've had to follow up by phone or email many many many times to get bids, get work scheduled, or get responses to simple questions. They sent a bid (after I followed up several times to finally get one) on all the projects, but failed to mention materials were not included. The prices were very high, but the board had voted to move forward anyway. With materials, it was suggested the bid would go up around another 2K- which was an insane amount of money. So, we pared the bid down to necessary projects and approved it. Of the four projects we approved, two of them still are not completed. On one of them, a gutter replacement of a corner piece, they are now saying they can not find a piece to replace it with (they didn't research this before they said they could do it?) and it has been weeks since we approved the bid. The other, installing a motion light on our garage, I've been trying to get completed for 7 days and only got a response today after reaching out over a week. We were told when Andrew arrived the first time we were responsible for ordering the light we wanted (why were we told there would be material runs and costs if we have to provide all the materials?), which we then did, but that could have been communicated long before then as I'd sent the link to the light weeks prior.They've sent confirmation emails that workers will arrive on a certain day and time and they've now shown- when I was waiting home from work to let them in. When I called about that, I was told Oh, he had another job- we're sending someone tomorrow. I wonder who was going to let them in when I hadn't been notified of any change.Horrible, HORRIBLE, communication.Overall, it's been a beast. I'd give them two stars. Andrew was nice.
