When my 6 year-old front load washer drained, the hose would ?hiccup? and bang against the wall and left the clothes too wet when the cycle was finished--this had gone on for about a week. I called David--who is very nice--he said that he would send Oscar out the following day. Oscar arrived right on time and said he had never seen anything like this occur before. He thought maybe it was the water pump as there was something that felt loose inside of it. He replaced the water pump but the problem was still there. Oscar then took apart some other connection and sure enough there was a small towel that had gotten sucked inside of the unit and when he removed it, everything then worked fine. Oscar asked me if I wanted him to remove the new water pump that he had just installed. Since there was some looseness in the old water pump, I thought it best to keep the new one. Oscar is quite a detective and a very professional, kind man. His honesty and willingness to remove the new water pump--without prompting from me--was very much appreciated. After he left, I called David to tell him how pleased I was with his service and with Oscar. He told me that he was grateful to have Oscar as an employee representing his company. I will continue to use Paul?s and will refer them to my friends.
Description of Work: My front loading washing machine was not draining properly. Replaced the water pump and removed a clog from a tube hose.

Very smooth. They were very nice, professional and personable over the phone. The workman was very punctual. showed up a few minutes early even. He knew exactly how to fix the problem and had the part in the truck. It was fixed quickly and he even cleaned up after himself. I had a 10% discount coupon through Angie's List, which they honored making their already reasonable price even better. Highly recommend.

I have a 23 year old Whirlpool combo washer-dryer. The washing machine spin cycle stopped working, and the dryer vent tore and needed to be replaced. Before joining Angie's List, I had called a number of repair services, but they seemed unfamiliar with my model and I wasn't comfortable with their responses to my questions, nor with the estimates I was getting just to come out and look at it. David at Paul's Washer & Dryer Repair returned my call promptly, got specific info on the machine, and took the time to answer all my questions. We talked about the machine's problems and he gave me a reasonable estimate based on my description of what was happening with it. And then he told me that, at the machine's age, there were many more things likely to go wrong with it in the not-so-distant future, and suggested I'd be better off replacing it rather than repairing it (if I could afford to do so). I really appreciated his honest assessment and recommendation, and will definitely use this company if anything ever happens to the new machine I plan on buying shortly.
Description of Work: very old combo washer-dryer unit with non-working spin cycle, and torn dryer vent

Provided recommendation to a friend to use this provider for a clothes washer repair; David responded to the inquiry by phone within two hours. Oscar showed up on time for his appointment, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in diagnosing the part, and charged a reasonable discounted fee for the visit. Ultimately my friend chose not to have the repair done, based in part on feedback from Oscar and David that the make/model/year of the washer was known to be troublesome and the expensive repair part would be likely to fail again. My friend's mother is very attached to the type of energy-inefficient agitator top-loading washer she had, which is no longer available, and after her mother rejected all the replacement machines they'd seen in stores, my friend contacted David, who went out of his way to put my friend in touch with someone who evaluated her concerns and recommended a replacement machine that was reasonably close to her mother's preferences, reliable and reasonably priced. So ultimately: quick response, helpful advice that made them no money whatsoever, and a very low service fee.
Description of Work: For a friend: Evaluation of a broken top-loader clothes washing machine, an estimate for repair of the bad part, a recommendation not to replace the part due to known issues with the make/mode/year of the machine and expected failure of the replacement part, put the friend in touch with someone who could provide guidance on a replacement that would make her mother happy.

I found them on Angie's List and was very pleased. The price was good and everything about it was a wonderful experience. The guy came out, saw the problem and could have charged me a lot more money by saying he found more problems; but instead he said the filters needed to be cleaned and charged me next to nothing. I will use him again in the future.

I called him and let him know the make and model, he gave me two possible problems and a price. We scheduled for next day repair. Our building manager noted that he was at the bldg. on time and he was quick and efficient. Once he had determined that the rollers needed to be replaced on the drum he said fifteen minutes and was done in less than twenty. This one is a keeper!
Description of Work: We had a commercial dryer that was making a lot of noise. (Speed Queen model) The drum roll needed to be replaced.

Our experience was all wonderful. David was so professional and honest. We won't call anyone but Paul's in the future.
Description of Work: I called Paul's Washer & Dryer after reading great reviews online. They certainly lived up to the reviews! Not only did we get a quick response and appt. time, but David was so honest and thorough. He spent alot of time making sure that everything was in order before he left. We thought our washer needed a new valve, however that was not the case. He did only what was necessary, and could not have been a more professional man. We will be calling Paul's for all future needs.

I called late afternoon on Thursday and got a return call early Friday morning from David. He discussed a couple of possibilities for why my dryer wasn't heating and prices and told me Oscar could be at my place by late morning/early afternoon. Oscar arrived promptly (actually, he was early). After looking at the dryer for about 15 minutes, he determined that the dryer was fine (was glad to hear that since it was less than two years old) but that it wasn't getting any gas and I needed to call the gas company. I was charged a nominal service fee for his time and diagnosis.
Description of Work: There was no heat in my dryer and they determined that it was a gas problem, not a problem with the dryer.

. This company is great. I was given a detailed explanation what the problems with my washing machine 'may 'have been prior to the technician's arrival and with a range of possible prices depending on the extent of the repair needed. The technician, Oscar came by and was very pleasant, extremely competent and took the time to give me a 'blow by blow' account of what he was doing precisely. The problem fortunately turned out to not be as big as anticipated . I was told what the next step that was needed and that involved plumbing issues. I really, really liked this company A LOT. This was my first experience using an "Angie's List" referral and it was a FAR better experience than I even imagined. GG Brentwood

Good service. I would use them again. I think it was a bit on the expensive side but mostly due to the cost of the pump. They called me to reschedule because they could not find a part which was good.

We described the washer's symptoms as it broke down, and David advised that it wouldn't pay to have it repaired---it would cost about 50 per cent as much as a new washer. We thanked him for his honesty.

My Kenmore washer broke last week so I logged on here to try and get it fixed. I called Paul's, left a message, and he called right back. After explaining the problem I was having and the model of washer I have he knew exactly what was wrong with it - over the phone! He told me the history of theses machines, the mechanical build and advised me that it was not worth the expense to repair (the transmission on the washer was dead and would cost me more that a new washer). He then took the time to explain various models of new washers and suggested the best (and least expensive) one as a replacement. The bad news is that I need to buy a new washer (after 10+ years); The good news is that I was spared the time and expense of a service call that would not even have helped me out in the long run. If you have a problem with your washer - give Paul's a call first!

He cleaned up the area and offered advice for future consideration.

We called Paul's on Sunday afternoon and David was able to come out the next morning. He did the job in less than an hour and left the dryer running smoothly. We were very pleased with the results.
Description of Work: David was helpful over the telephone, accurately diagnosing the problem, (dryer drum turned, but would not heat). We made an appointment for the next day and he arrived within a few minutes of his estimated arrival time and was prompt, cleaned up after himself and gave me the parts he removed and replaced. He was pleasant and helpful. The fact that I did not have to wait long and that he gave us a discount, was an added plus. We have a 13 year old whirlpool dryer.

I called Pauls to explain the problem with my LG washer. Dave obviously has experience with this machine and made a diagnosis over the phone which was of no surprise to me. I had called a technician from Active Service Appliance before Pauls and after waiting patiently for 4 hours they stood me up. Dave said they should have known the problem based on my decription. Thanks Dave. I knew I needed a new washer based on the age and amount of use.

I was going crazy over Labor Day Weekend, as my washing machine was not filling with water. I thought I would need to buy a new one. Paul called me back and calmed me down. And then Oscar came to my house and did a thorough review. He said that I only needed a small plastic pipe. Hooray! I hereby recommend Paul's Washer & Dryer Repair Service to everyone! A+++++++!

Overall I was so happy with the service, with how fast the company came out and how far above and beyond they went to help us despite the fact that they were not being paid a large sum of money to fix the problem. I would definitely recommend this company and can't imagine using anyone else should we ever experience this problem in the future.
Description of Work: David was amazing. We discovered our washing machine was leaking and immediately called him and he came within 3 hours of our call to him. He was quick at diagnosing the problem and very honest in the fact that it would be less cost effective for us to fix the washing machine than to buy a new one. To my happy surprise, he did not charge us for the diagnosis and immediately put us in touch with a great company to help us remove the washing machine before it did anymore damage and to buy a new one. Thank you David for all of your amazing help!

This is a family owned and operated business. I was able to arrange a service call for a specific time on the day I called. They showed up on time, diagnosed the problem and made the repairs within an hour. They had all the parts on their truck. My dryer is as good as new. I would definitely call these guys again for washer/dryer repairs and will heartily recommend them to friends.

Dave diagnosed the problem over the phone, then sent a staff member out to confirm the problem. We had to wait several days while the part was ordered, but the technician came back out to rig the machine to work temporarily while we waited (at no extra cost). Once the part came in, the technician was prompt, professional and tested the machine to make sure the repair worked correctly. I also asked for and was given an Angies List discount.

As stated above, I was completely pleased with the entire experience.
Description of Work: My washing machine was stopping in mid cycle and would not drain. The repairman quickly realized that the problem was in the water pump. He disassembled portions of the pump, cleaned a substantial amount of lint and other junk out of the filter, reassembled the pump, serviced it and tested it. The machine works fine now. Another repairman might have seized upon the opportunity to sell me a new water pump, but Paul's repairman was honest and saved me a lot of money. I will gladly use Paul's for any future problems I may encounter.
