Mike was upfront with the cost, scheduled quickly, showed up on time, completed the repair and tune-up. Great price compared to some other places I looked and the added bonus was he came to my house to fix it here. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: I had a fuel leak on my 16 year old snow blower. Performed tune-up, cleaned carburator, replaced fuel lines, replaced the guide stoppers on front of snow-blower.

Mike did a great job. He was courteous and kind. He took the time to educate me on my year old tractor as I have never owned one before. I will use his service in the Fall to have my snowblower prepared for the winter. I do recommend this company.

You can trust Miike to get things done and for me its great because i ask a lot of questions and he takes the time to explain and will even go the extra mile to follow up. Great company.

This was/is a horrible February in the South of Boston area. Snow has been almost non-stop since the beginning of the month. There is currently about 4 feet of snow piled up and drifts up to 8 feet. Wouldn't you know that my snow blower stopped working at the beginning of the month, apparently due to a belt that was slipping, and I wasn't able to get anyone to repair it - I even had trouble getting someone in to plow my 80 foot, uphill driveway. Finally, I decided to join Angie's List and found Riverside Repair. Mike Plumer called me back right away and drove up to my house to have a look at the unit. There was no one home, but he called me several times to inform me of the status. I agreed to have him repair it after hearing the detailed explanation of what the problem was. He repaired it under my carport during MORE snow, on the day he evaluated it. I'm grateful and happy to recommend his services. I never actually met him, but will certainly avail of his tune-up services next spring. Thanks.

Once again, Mike has exceeded my expectations. He showed up on time and got right to business. Did all the maintenance right on my driveway . This is the only way to get your yard equipment serviced. He's a nice guy - professional and knowledgeable . Gave me a discount for multiple jobs.

Response from Riverside Repair Co.
Hello sorry to hear you had a bad experience getting your machine fixed it is common. I was glad to find that we were not the company that performed that service for you! I am assuming this false review is not malicious in nature and is just an honest mistake. I respectfully ask you to check your receipt for the proper name of the company that performed that service for you ,remove this false review of our company and give it to the company that earned it! Thanks RRCO

Mike was great. He found a simpler problem to fix than I had anticipated and the cost was less than he estimated as a result. He could have easily charged me more and I would have been none the wiser and just as happy with the result. It's very nice dealing with someone who is both very competent and very honest.

Very satisfied with this small company. Will definitely use again.
Description of Work: Quick callback. Great communication. Came on site to do standard prep service (a great perk at a very reasonable price, in my experience). Identified blown head gasket and took machine back to their shop. FIxed it and performed service. Quality of work outstanding. For the first time in years, my Ariens started on the first pull as they said it would. Answered all my questions (it turned out I was not using/caring for machine as I should have).

This gentleman returned my call within an hour, arrived at the exact day and time promised, did a great job servicing the tractor (including fixing a couple extra things), and left the driveway spotless. By coming to my house he saved me trailering charges, and the tractor runs better than when it was serviced elsewhere previously for a higher price.

Mike continues to be a real professional. Decided to have him back for my snow blower (2006 Craftsman), which was starting to run on the rough side. Mike showed up right on time, and immediately started it up. He explained why it was running rough (new fuel has ethanol in it and small engines do not run well with it. I'm also guilty of improper winter storage), and how I can prevent it from happening in the future. He really took his time with it, spending a good 1.5 hrs getting it running perfectly. He went over everything, and I couldn't be happier with the service. He really knows his stuff and seems happy to explain everything and anything you want him to. He deserves a AA rating!

I contacted Mike for a service call for my lawn tractor (2008 Craftsman DYS4500 ) because it was starting to leave stripes of higher grass, and just needed a good going over by a professional. Mike's ability to do the work at my house was HUGE because I have no way of bringing it to a shop myself. Mike arrived on time, and was very professional. All work was performed as promised, and tractor continues to run great and cuts the lawn well/level. Mike will be a regular part of my tractor and snow blower's lives from now on. Great job at a very fair and reasonable price.

Called and spoke to Mike. He came out the next day to the house. Other tractor repair shops told me 3 weeks and charge over $75 to transport the tractor; could not let the lawn go for 3 weeks in the summer! Mike diagnosed the problem on our 10 yr old Deere tractor in about 15 minutes - selenoid was dead. He clearly knows these machines inside out. He replaced the selenoid, gave it a tune up, and also installed a gas shutoff. Very informative about what is important to take care of and when on this and other machines; gave me lots of tips. He also looked at push mower and found the drive control was dead; he looked up the part online which turned out to be expensive. He advised getting a new mower rather than having him do the work. Very honest and forthright. Tractor has worked fine since. Will definitely continue to use him for our maintenance needs.

I would recommend Mike to anyone who needs this type of service. He responded to my call promptly and set up an appointment for the following day. I was having trouble with a very old lawn mower rider that would not start and he fixed it and it is working fine. This mower has been repaired just a few months ago by another contractor and it wasn't fixed correctly. Mike solved the problem and I should be able to get thru the rest of the mowing season.

Riverside was truly excellent to work with. They promptly returned my phone call, scheduled service within a couple of days, and had the lawn mower repaired and back to me within 2 days. Their service included on-site repair. In my instance, the machine needed to back to their shop for an ignition coil replacement. They had the machine back in my driveway a day and half later, running sweetly and looking clean and new! Fantastic service at an excellent price. I strongly recommend them and have every intention of using them for all future work.

We have used their service before for our snowblower and they were great. Needed service and a battery replacement on our lawnmower and they were the first ones we called. Quick response to service request, came out to our house and did the repairs as needed. Explained everything that was being completed and what needed to be done, then completed the tune-up and battery changed in a timely manner. Offered to do a follow up if we weren't pleased or we were still having problems with our lawnmower. Overall great experience with Riverside Repair and we will definitely use them again!
Description of Work: New battery and seasonal tune-up (sharpen and balance blades, change oil and filter, greased all lube points, replace air filter, replace spark plug, replace fuel filter, clean debri and machine itself, tire pressure, level mower deck, clean battery terminals, check mower and drive belts, tested for operation and safety).

Riverside normally does not go to Canton, but because I was willing to wait and perhaps sounded a little desperate, Mike agreed to come. It was definitely worth the wait. I do not know if I have ever had a better service experience. The price was very reasonable and probably worth a lot more than I paid. Mike's attention to detail, including the clean-up, was extraordinary. He explained, in great detail, everything that he was doing and gave many helpful suggestions for future use and maintenance.
Description of Work: Snow blower tune-up and general service. I noticed that the engine was running rough and figured after 17 years it could use a professional overhaul. Doing a web search I found Riverside and their at home service. Complete tune up including: Drain gas and replaced with stabilized fuel Replaced spark plug Oil change Rebuilt carburetor Checked belts for wear and tension Repaired gas and primer lines Lubed auger, pivot points and cables Checked auger gearbox Thorough cleaning Tested and final carburetor adjustments

Great experience overall. Mike responded to my request for service right away but wasn't able to come to my house for 2 weeks because he was backed-up. On the scheduled appointment, he arrived on time and was able to provide a full, annual maintenance and fix the auger on-site for $119. This guy's the real deal and was worth the wait. Next year, I'll call him to do the maintenance in October and beat the rush.

Mike arrived when he said he would, checked out the mower and told me it needed a new housing. He gave me an estimate, I said go, and he put it into the truck. He had it back to me two days later at the agreed-upon price. Painless!

I called Riverside based on the review on Angie's list ( first time I've used Angie's list). Made appointment for service and was pleasantly surprised to learn they do house calls. Service showed up on time as planned with expectation that minimum charge would be $20 for taking a look at the problem. As a handy man myself I enjoy learning from a professional with the hope that I might be able to deal with a problem myself in the future. The gentleman was great at explaining what he saw and suggested fixes. He was able to diagnosis the problem and did a few extras with approval as preventative maintenance. Cost was extremely reasonable, less than I expected to pay for onsite repair. I would use Riverside again and I highly recommend them. I'm not easy to please when it comes to repair work but this company is outstanding based on my experience.
