Description of Work: Was to repair Ice dispenser and filtered water. Ice dispenser repaired partially with warning to use carefully. Water dispenser worked briefly then stopped. Said I would have to probably pay more because it is probably a different problem. Made excuses, when I called about the problem although he told me he honors all work done. Does a lot of talking

Description of Work: Called to see if he could repair my dishwasher. Answered immediately. Said they don't repair Bosch but asked what the problem was and gave me a solution over the phone - I had recently moved into the condo and didn't know there was a service switch. Very friendly and helpful.

He was having a challenge because it was hard to get the gasket around the drum and the front of the machine does not come off, but he didn't give up. He kept trying and got it on. I was so impressed and pleased. Then I told him I wanted to call him back for my garbage disposal and he asked to take a look at it. To find out it was not broken, I just didn't realize there was a safety feature on the garbage disposal. It wasn't broken at all. I haven't used it for about a year and a half thinking it was broken. I am definitely going to refer them to anyone and everyone who need their appliance repaired.
Description of Work: They repaired by Kenmore washing machine.

Being on a well, John's first and correct thought was clogged filters. He replaced the filters and installed ss hoses which he had on the truck. Problem solved! Given the age of the drier, John honestly recommended living with the one heat setting (which we've been doing for a few years but as long as he was here for washer.........) the cost of a new thermostat a third of the cost of a new drier. Everything was smooth and easy from scheduling, staying in touch to paying. John is a one man shop, he does the work so there is no concern about a could care less helper showing up!!
Description of Work: Washing machine cold water was a trickle. 25 year old rubber hoses and filters were replaced. Drier only had high heat setting.

He returned the call promptly,we set up an appointment and he came and checked out our washer. He was polite and knowledgeable and gave us a price on repair and made suggestions as far as new washers were concerned. He charged us fifty dollars for the visit . We called him because we didn't know the age of the machine or what the repair entailed. To me it was worth the expenditure because we got a quote on what the parts and labor would cost as opposed to the cost of a new machine. Would I call him again if we needed a repairman? Yes I would.
Description of Work: He came in and evaluated whether our washer should be replaced or repaired.

From the moment I called, I was talked to professionally. I was asked what the problem and the model of the dryer. John was here in a few minutes. He took apart the dryer and found the problem. He choose the least expensive option to fixing it, while explaining and showing me the problem. After he finished, he cleaned the entire dryer and put everything back together again. Overall, the service was prompt, professional, and courteous. I have used John in the past and he has fixed the problem every time quickly and correctly. His service cost isn't what is listed on Angie's list, but I find his services worth the cost. I would definitely call him again.
Description of Work: My dryer was making a loud noise. I thought it was a big problem and was going to have to buy a new dryer. I called John and he was available and over at my house in a few minutes. He took the whole dryer apart and found the that something in the blower had cut through the housing. He cleaned up the hole and put tape over the hole. The problem is now fixed.

Their service as just ok. I felt it was pricey for the amount of work performed. They did offer a good, quick service, but I paid more than I had intended. I also felt one issue was left unaddressed.
Description of Work: I contacted them to repair a fridge and an oven.

I called in the morning, and they were over within an hour. They were friendly, and did the work in 15 minutes. Their charges, however, were substantially more than the 25 dollars an hour they charged in 2006. There was a $70 service charge, and a $45 labor charge, plus tax.
Description of Work: Cleaned drain in refrigerator.

Overall, I felt that both repair men were serious about their jobs, thoughtful and professional. They dressed in clean navy blue polo shirts with jeans John, especially, when removing thick handfuls of lint and dryer gunck tried to contain it without just throwing the stuff on my basement floor which is probably what I would have done. ( basement is unfinished and has concrete floors with a very stained remnant of carpet on top. John was not overly talkative to his apprentice but did quietly instruct just a little of the finer points of repairing my dryer without making a long drawn out lecture of it. I had been told on the phone what a service call would cost and I was very happy that this charge was NOT in addition to an hourly rate but rather included all the diagnostic time and effort that both of these men spent just trying to see if they could make it work properly.
Description of Work: I needed my 19 year old dryer repaired. I spoke with John the day before and he asked if my problem was an emergency (would have come the same day ). We made arrangements to have them come the next day between 12n-2p. John said that he would call when they would be about 30 mins away from arriving. They were at my house by 12:35p after calling. They were very professional as they took apart my dryer explaining some points while working. Ultimately, despite taking the machine completely apart with exception of motor and blower assemblies, John explained that the air coming from the rear of the machine was very weak in strength and despite all efforts to ascertain the problem (blockage, wiring to and from motor, ) etc. that there still was almost no strength to the air being forced from the machine. I could see for myself that there certainly didn't seem to be any resistance to the air flow because John had completely taken the dryer apart and cleaned each duct before he tested the air flow from the dryer. It was at this time that he gave me the bad news. He could take apart the motor/blower "things" replace the parts that would be showing age (as if there were any parts that after 19 years would not be showing age ) but there still would be no guarantee that my old dryer would ever run like a stallion again and by doing so I would be incuring a hefty bill when a brand new machine can cost as low as $300.00. Especially if I would consider buying a lesser known brandname that is made by the same manufacturer as the very well known brand I had been thinking of buying. I thank him for being so honest and agreed that a new one would be the practical way to go. David wrote down on my copy of the bill (which I paid by check) the names of these lesser known brands John and Dave, the apprentice, were at my house about 40 mins. and charged only the service charge price.
