Purchased KitchenAide gas range from Bray & Scarff in Rockville, MD. Paid a $49.99 delivery charge and a $249.99 installation charge. Was given a 4 hour install time window (10am-2pm for Friday). At 4:00pm, installer called and would be 2 more hours. At 6:30pm, we reached out to the installer... they finally rescheduled for first thing Saturday. Finally after being late on the Saturday timeframe, they arrived. During the install of the slide-in gas range, they shattered the glass front door on the new oven ... Solution by installer: Taped it up with cardboard, and said they would order a new door and was told it would arrive ASAP. It is now Wednesday (Thanksgiving eve), and NO NEW DOOR on the stove. Doesn't feel safe to cook a turkey in with a cardboard "door" I reached out to the store sales team more than once, and have NOT received a call back... Very disappointing.

After spending $100 for an estimate on an ice maker repair, a few weeks later, with no estimate in hand, I call. The quote is, and I don't have it in front of me so this is by memory only, $600 (on top of the $100 already paid - total cost $700)! To replace our ice maker and a control panel card in the back of the fridge. Hmmm. .. I say. "Can you give us the part numbers? We'd like to explore doing this ourselves." "I'm sorry, ma'am. Our policy is to only give out part numbers if you put down a deposit to do the work." Ok. . . Now I'm getting a little steamy. "We paid $100 to get the fridge diagnosed. Are you saying you aren't now going to give us the diagnosis unless we do the work with you? If that's the case, you should have been clear about this before you came out." To his credit, the person on my phone did see my point. "You might want to call my manager," he suggested. 3 messages later I finally got ahold of her. "We've been trying to contact you." "Really," I think, that's interesting. To her credit, she did give us the part numbers. My husband fixed the fridge. Total cost to us: $100 - Diagnosis by Bray & Scarf $180 - Parts Done. And done with Bray & Scarf. Next appliance shop we will check out another vendor. Oh, and when I suggested $700 was a lot to pay for an ice maker on a fridge that cost us on sale less than $2,000, they mentioned, "Well, you could always buy a new fridge. . . . "
Description of Work: In late 2012 we bought a fridge and microwave from Bray & Scaff. They were on sale, and we got a great deal. We really liked our sales guy, and the delivery came on time. They even helped us get the oversized fridge through our undersized door by taking the door off! Truly exceptional. If I had been an avid Yelper then I would have given 5 stars. Come 2.5 years later and our ice maker breaks. We give them a call, realize we didn't get the warranty, so we will have to pay. $100 charge to come and assess the problem. Fine we said, come on out. The technician diagnosed and said we'd get a call with an estimate.

Arrived late, 2 hours after end of appointment window. Poor communication. Spent 4 minutes looking at refigerator; diagnosed problem (incorrectly, as it turns out) as a thermostat issue. Said it would take a week to order the part and another week to schedule a follow-up appointment to install the part. I called the next day to move forward with the part ordering, and the technician hadn't turned in his paperwork, so the parts department couldn't help me. Poor customer experience all around. Turned to another company to properly diagnose and repair my fridge.

Contacting Bray and Scarff has been difficult. You stay on the line forever when you finally reach someone there is a long wait for scheduling the repairman. The repairman comes and decides you need a part and again a long wait to receive the part. No chance of scheduling until part arrives then again a long wait. Express frustration and ask to speak to a manager and of course he/she not available but will call you back tomorrow. No return call from manager. Have tried to reach manager on several occasions with no luck. When repairman is a no show (8-12 has not arrived by 2:00 and you have another committment and must leave)you ask to be given first appointment next day told that he is fully scheduled for tomorrow and can't do it but will check with manager. No response!!!!!!!!!! Purchased from Bray and Scarff because expected better service from a small company. Was willing to pay more for the service. Never again will just do business with the big box stores.
Description of Work: I purchased a Kitchen Aid dishwasher on 4/20/13 with an extended service contract. The machine has been broken since 6/7/15. Service men have come twice and where scheduled to come today 7/29/15 between 8-12 am. Serviceman was polite and arrived at 2:45. However needs a different part must be ordered and hence I continue to wait. Obviously, parts are not kept on hand. My previous experience waiting for a part took 3 weeks.

It turned out really good. The workers were really good and really nice. They left the area clean. They were right on schedule. Whenever they scheduled anything, they would come within a few minutes of the time they said. They would get the work done when they said they would.
Description of Work: They replaced the countertops with quartz countertops and added a backsplash above the counters.

Sales staff was rude, unpleasant to deal with. Managers were not available to talk to. Installer did not know how to attach a panel to the dishwasher. Every step of the process was difficult and a disaster. I would never use this company again.
Description of Work: Provider came to the house to measure for the dishwasher. One week later they schedule to deliver the dishwasher, they gave me a four hour window the night before. They arrived at the end of the time allotted and were unable to install the dishwasher because the panel did not fit.

The provider was supposed to fix my Fisher Paykel dishwasher. Both times the "repair person" was at my apt he left without ensuring the dishwasher was properly fixed. The lady at the office was rude to my girlfriend who called to see what the deal was and told us we have to call back on Monday. W**?!?! Call back on Monday?!?! I spent nearly $2k on this dishwasher and this is what I get? Don't buy anything from these people. Buy your appliances elsewhere. I should have checked angles list before I gave these people so much money just to crapped on.
Description of Work: Nothing. In the long run. Stole my money maybe.

Do not ever use this company to repair anything. Not even a broken light bulb. This is by far the worst customer service experience I've ever had. I called them in the beginning of July to fix my ice maker. I finally got a refund check at the beginning of December because they could not fix my ice maker. I called a different repair company who diagnosed it over the phone, came to my house with the correct part, and fixed it in 30 minutes. The Bray & Scarff repairman was incompetent. He had no idea what he was doing and was just fixing parts in sequential order of most likely causes. He broke a different part in my freezer while trying to remove the ice maker. He told me there was no way to troubleshoot the broken part and this was the standard protocol (even though the other guy troubleshot over the phone with me). He replaced two parts in my freezer and came three times. Their customer service staff is incompetent. They never called me when the first part came in, so I waited a month. When I would call to speak to a supervisor, they gave me a canned response: "The supervisor is not available right now. Can I get your number and they will call you back by the end of the day?" I got this at least three times and of course they never called me back. They even made me send them a picture of the part the repairman broke I'm guessing to prove that it was broken. Either that or he didn't remember which part he broke. They gave me all kinds of excuses like "you must have fallen through the cracks" and "remind me who you are again. we get thousands of calls per day." and "we're just so busy. Sorry I didn't call you back." I must have wasted over 5 hours of my time waiting for the repairman and calling customer service. In the end, they should have paid me. Finally, we I spoke to a manager after getting two brand new parts and still having a broken ice maker, she says to me "What do you want us to do?" I asked them to refund all of the money I paid to them already ($350). I'm completely surprised that she agreed, but this must happen a lot. She says I'll get my money in 7-10 business days and "how did you pay again? we'll either refund your credit card or write you a check." I call asking where my check is after 11 business days. The manager says to me "Remind me what happened again. We get a lot of calls." After I reminder her, she says "Oh! I sent this to accounting today. They are in a meeting right now. I'll call you back when they are out with an update." Of course she did not call me back. About a month later, I get a check in the mail for the full amount (again surprised they got something right).
Description of Work: I called them to repair my ice maker from a refrigerator that I bought from them. They never actually repaired it though after many attempts.

The technicians who came were very nice, but not competent. The store Manager said he was "on my side", but was unable to deliver on the service promised. He explained that they knew that this was not the right team to send, but they were sent anyway. I took a day off from work for nothing. it obviously would have been better for them to call me and re-schedule when the right team was not available. I asked them to take the dishwasher back and give me a refund, and they agreed.
Description of Work: I wished to replace my single drawer dishwasher. B&S sent a technician to measure the space and determine what would be necessary, and I hen scheduled the installation. The team that arrived pulled the old dishwasher out, but were unable to install the new dishwasher because they were not comfortable enlarging the opening, even though they knew that that was part of the installation. They left their tools and the new dishwasher sitting on my kitchen floor and went to do another job. I called B&S and they said that they could not send another "competent" (their word) technician until the next day.

Things went badly. We had terrible problems communicating with them. We had rearranged our schedules to be able to be home for the repair. They had promised to call the day before to say when they would arrive. When we failed to get a call the day before, I got nervous. We tried to call, but their phone system did not respond after 5. We did not reach them until the next morning. We then had to cancel the repair and find someone else. My F rating is not for our miscommunication as to the date. I have no firm information on whose fault that was. But their phone system was impossible! When they are not there to answer -- either off hours or when they are busy -- it simply puts you on hold playing some very strange sounds very weakly (maybe it could be music -- if so it was too soft to tell) and does not give you the opportunity to leave a message. When I called again and listened through the message fully, it gave me the opportunity to seek and operator. Requesting that put you back at the beginning of the original message -- an infinite loop. In this day and age there is no excuse for having a phone system that does not give the working hours and does not give you the opportunity to leave a message. When I called in the morning and finally reached them, the person answering said she would check if there was a cancellation and get back to me in less than 10 minutes. Forty minutes later I called again as I would need to find someone else if they weren't going to be able to come that day. She said they had no availability and would show up the next day. Fortunately I was able to find someone else to do the repair and cancelled the B&S repair.
Description of Work: We had purchased a GE washer-dryer from Bray & Scarff four years ago and chose the three-year warrantee. We had to move our washer when we redid the laundry room and when the work was finished the washer shook badly when it cycled. We assumed it had gotten out of balance and called B&S for repairs -- even though it was now in the fourth year and out of warrantee. They were unable to come for 10 days. We agreed on a date. Unfortunately in the interim the washer now stopped working completely.

Pretty good. Delivery was closer to the start of the delivery window and they called beforehand to say they were on their way. Dishwasher was damaged in the shipping - which they pointed out - so they did not install. Took awhile to get a replacement but delivery and install was on time and done well.

The Bray & Scarff service department is THE WORST EVER! I feel like picketing outside their Rockville store, to warn customers what they'll be in for. My washer (with a 5-year warranty) broke after just four years. I had bought it from the Rockville store. I had to wait two weeks for a Bray & Scarff serviceman to come and diagnose why the washer wasn't working. The B &S serviceman came on April 14, 2014. He said it was a problem with the outer tub and the pressure switch. The B & S serviceman told me that the company that's responsible for the warranty (NSI) would decide whether to repair the machine or replace it. He said it would probably take about a week. Well, I had to wait 26 days to get the washer. B & S finally delivered it today, May 10th. During that long 26-day wait, I called the Bray & Scarff Service service number (301) 470-750 at least twice a week, to ask them when the washer would be delivered. What I was usually told was: "We'll get back to you tomorrow." Bray & Scarff's explanation was that they had to wait for NSI to approve the washing machine replacement. There was also a mention of an email between NSI and Bray & Scarff getting lost. Communication between the two companies seems to be extremely poor. After more than two frustrating weeks of calling Bray & Scarff, I finally got a competent and helpful person named Madison who promised (and kept her promise) to call me everyday at noon until the washer delivery was scheduled. After Bray & Scarff finally got the OK from NSI, then things moved swiftly. Gary from the Rockville store called me to schedule the delivery. They delivery men came today - at the scheduled time. So finally, I have a washing machine. But I will NEVER AGAIN buy anything from Bray & Scarff again, because dealing with their service department is a nightmare!

Our initial delivery was scheduled for December 13. We had two instances of "it wasn't on the truck" and two damaged dryers. After being alerted by the delivery guys (when the washer was delivered on Dec 20) that the standard dryer cord wouldn't be long enough, we'd asked the store to order us an extra long power cord - that didn't happen. So even if we hadn't received two damaged machines, they would have been unusable. When I checked in to see if it was ordered for the Jan 31 delivery, Bray and Scarff's response was, "We did order the cable, but.... as I mentioned is not easy, they are rare, that's why i advice him to look for one at Lowe's or Home Depot." One would think that an appliance store would certainly have better connections for finding one than an individual. Additionally, "hard to find" means they are not available at big box stores (I found one at Tribles). This was just indicative of the experience. As of today, we did finally receive a credit for this ridiculousness and for the extra long cord that I purchased. The only bright spot off this experience has been the delivery guys. They were professional and knowledgeable and were the ones who alerted us to the need for an extra long cord. We were horrified to learn that they aren't paid for their work unless the machine is actually delivered. So for four trips to our house, they were only paid for two. Perhaps this is standard practice, but I find it shameful.
Description of Work: We purchased a washer and dryer from the Rockville location in November. We didn't receive the dryer until January 31.

tDuring a full kitchen renovation, we purchased five appliances from Bray and Scarff along with extended warranties on the appliances. After two years, two of the appliances - including a GE refrigerator - have broken down. Our biggest problem involves the refrigerator, which hasn't been operational in nearly 3 months. Despite more than twenty telephone calls to their repair center, several house visits, and finally a referral to another company when their (only?) refrigerator expert went on vacation, we have not been able to get the company to fix the refrigerator under the terms of the warranty. It has been a huge runaround with dropped calls, ordering the wrong replacement parts, missed house visits (yesterday). At this point, after 2+ months, he company has replaced parts that apparently didn't need fixing and the problem remains - the refrigerator doesn't cool but the freezer does. Because of this experience, I would never purchase another appliance from Bray and Scarff again and I would advise any potential customers to, at a minimum, avoid purchasing any extended warranties as the company does not seem capable of servicing what it sells. I'll do more homework next time before making such a sizable purchase.

After 3 weeks I called to find out when they were coming back and told them I wanted to have both repaired at the same time. After some waiting time and seeming not to understand what needed to be repaired, they told me that the motor was back ordered ?though later I found out they NEVER ordered it. When they came back a month after they were originally at the house, they said that they needed another part for the range so they could not fix it, and they did not have a new motor for the fan. They would have to come back a third time. However, I needed to pay them another $50 for additional parts. I told them to forget the range for the time being, that my main problem was the exhaust fan. I called customer service and only got a rude person who said that I needed to pay them more money to order parts. I explained that I had already paid an upfront charge for parts, and was told that it was not applicable. I asked for the manager to call me back. That never happened. Based on the ineptitude of the service men who came and acted like they had never seen a large range hood or Viking range, I do not want them practicing on my appliances. Though I am out nearly $200 for NOTHING, I do not trust them to provide the service.
Description of Work: For $145 they came and diagnosed that I needed a new fan motor for the range hood and a part for the Viking Range so it would ignite. I then paid another $50 as a down payment to order needed parts for the repair.

delivery personnel are not a positive reflection of the company. Their care and professionalism left much to be desired.

Any time your appliances break, if you have two months to wait. Bray and Scarff is the place for you. Last summer I got a brand new kitchen and I bought all my appliances from B&S. I wanted either Wolf or Viking appliances, they are a major distributor so I went with them. The sales guy also sold me a floor model new washer/dryer at the time. I spent well over $20,000 and bought the warranty. Less than a year later the washer dies. When you call in to the service center expect to wait 4-5 business days to get someone. Once they come they order the part, their line is it takes 3-5 business days for the parts to come in. My experience has been about 2 weeks. then you wait another couple of days for the part to be replaced. After waiting over three weeks, I was told it still isn't working, wrong diagnosis of the problem... After a week I'm told the color I bought has been discontinued and the front plate I need in that color is not available. So they have found another washer that they will replace. Delivery is scheduled for a week later and guess what???? The truck pulls up but the washer was mistakenly not loaded! All in all it took me 7 weeks to get a working dishwasher. I went all the way up management to complain and was given apologies and promised as a token of my appreciation, the manager Robert wanted to mail me some steaks. The never came, I didn't really care. With a family of 6 just needed a working washing machine. B & S clearly stands for something else BS. So fast forward 6 months and my Viking dishwasher power button stops working... 5 days to get someone out here. He tells me the button is broken and needs to order a new one.... 5 days later the piece shows up.... 4 days later he comes and guess what?? He too misdiagnosed the problem, just like my washing machine! Order new part.... been 2 weeks, just got off the phone with the parts supervisor who told me the part will come in 5 more days. Just so you are clear, the part was ordered on December 21st, expected to arrive on January 8th. Normal?? for BS, yes. With this second ordeal I left 4 messages for the parts department supervisor Holly to call me back. Today she told me she never got any messages? Huh? Then why did Crystal tell me yesterday she doesn't know why I haven't gotten a call back??? Just as a side note, I call them regularly, I never ever get update or notification calls from them. Who has time for this?? I never ever write reviews. But when you spend lots of money on a your appliances and buy the warranty, you expect service. In today's busy lifestyle. Going two months without a dishwasher or washing machine is simply unacceptable. Save your money and your time. Go to Home Depot. BS, the Service Department, Robert, Holly, they all give lip service but are running a very horrible company. The appliances look nice, but the buck stops there. Run if you can, I've convinced three of my friends not to buy from there. Not that I care about B&S, but I care about my friends and want them to learn from my mistake.

The full story is above -- but just to be clear --The showroom was fine; the sales person during the sale was fine. The problems came after the sale and after the double ovens were paid for but not delivered. This company thought they could hold us hostage to their installation costs because they had the appliance and because we needed the ovens for Christmas. This company resold my appliance after we paid full price/delivery/stand installation in full; and while we were still considering the high installation costs - because they could get the next customer to agree to their installation costs immediately -- They had already processed the appliance cost through our credit card agency 4 days before they resold it. We have since gone to 2 independent applicance installation companies (both on Angies List) for the exact same installation whose costs are $200 less than Bray & Scarf.
Description of Work: We bought the a 27" kitchenaid KEBS277BSS double oven from Bray & Scraf Bethesday on the evening of December 6, 2012 to replace our existing 27" GE double ovens which shorted out and we need to replace before Christmas. We paid full price for the appliance, standard installation cost, delivery and removal that same evening. We scheduled applicance measurement and installation requirements for December 10 with full installation December 17, 2012. Bray & Scarf came to measure and determine if there would be additional requirements for installation and provide a cost estimate. On December 12, Bray & Scarf called to say that the cost to install would be the standard price of $200 plus and additional $500 for a total of $700-- we thought the additional installation costs were rather high for a rather simple trimming of the existing cabinet and a base in the bottom cabinet to support the ovens + they told us they needed to switch our 50 amp breaker to a 40 amp breaker since the ovens were 40 amps. This also sounded wrong. We asked if they could see if they could get the installation price down..they said they would check. I called two separate electricans to validate the need to swith the breaker out -- both said not necessary. A friend told me to talk with the Bray & Scarf Rockville store - I did on December 13 - they told me that my new kitchenaid went on saleon December 10 - 4 days after I bought mine for $300 less than I paid and that the Bethesda store should have corrected the price.- which they didn't. When I called to get the price corrected - they said they had given the kitchenaid double ovens to the next customer in line - explaining that we hadn't fully paid for the appliance -- when in fact they had already processed the $3500 for the double ovens, standard installation and delivery through my credit card on December 10. Bray & Scarf then explained there was now a backorder on this kitchenaid model until after Christmas -- so I would not have ovens for Christmas dinner. So now this company -- has lied to me several times, resold my appliance after I paid for it fully, and than tried to sell me a more expansive double oven (so I would have it for Christmas). Their conduct at the branch level and at the corporate level is inexcusable and morally bankrupt. We will never do business with them again and suggest you think twice.

Thework and responsiveness was unsatisfactory.
Description of Work: Bray & Scarff was scheduled to repair a SubZero refrigerator/freezer and an ice machine. They satisfactorily repaired the ice machine, but replaced a fan motor in the refrigerator/freezer but did not check system well and two days after they made the repair on 18 July, the unit started heating and spoiled all of the food. They were contacted about the problem on a Saturday morning and said the earliest they could get to check the unit was the next Wednesday. When I contacted service, I spoke to the scheduler who is nice but couldn't help any earlier without supervisor's input. I called on three separate occassions and was told that Holly (the supervisor) was going to call me back. She did not have the courtesy to to return any calls. I cancelled their appointment and scheduled the work to be done by a company that was responsive. The compressor had a leak that should have been identified by the service person that replaced the fan. The service call number says that the call might be monitored to be sure that they provide quality service.

I had problems from the beginning. It took two weeks to get a technician out to look at it, and they won't return phone calls. They made it very hard to return the microwave oven and I didn't feel like I was a priority. The paint on the inside of the microwave was pealing and I thought in good faith they would still return it for me.
Description of Work: I purchased a microwave oven from Bray & Scarff.

Very helpful sales-woman. Showed me exactly what I thought I wanted and then a few good alternatives on both electric ranges and convection/microwaves. Had price guarantee but I don't think I'll need it.
Description of Work: No service; purchased range and microwave.

They are unbelievably disorganized. I had my first appointment on the 17th of April which they canceled me. They told me that I had been the one that canceled it. They came back on the 25th and said they needed money to order a part and I am still waiting to have the repair made. They really do a poor job of following up on things. I would not use them again.
Description of Work: I need to have my dishwasher repaired. It has been leaking.
