Bud Matthew's Service was very prompt and responsive with my water heater request, removing an old 50-gallon electric tank-style water heater and replacing it with a newer 40-gallon version in a limited-access crawl space. They were very professional and were honest in their assessment of the situation and quote. While the price was a bit steep for the job, they were up front about it in advance and I think it was fair given the difficult working environment and efficiency with which they completed the job.

Dishwasher was not completing cycle. Service person checked and said control panel needed to be replaced. On second visit, he did that. Afterwards, dishwasher completed cycle but was not removing all suds. After a few days wait, service person returned and decided that water in drain pan was preventing drain pump from working properly. So he emptied the pan, and afterwards, the dishwasher worked fine. At least there was no trip charge for the return visit, and the charge for extra time to fix the drain pan was understandable. The service person's logical analysis seemed sound, but we couldn't help but wonder whether a dedicated Bosch repair person would have gotten the fix right on first try. The initial problem occurred fairly early in January, and we had to wait about a week for first scheduled appointment, and then nearly a week for the return visit.

They were very professional. They told me why the floor was sagging when other contractors could not. They raised my floor an inch and it looks excellent considering how it looked beforehand (this is an area of the house in the hallway). They stabilized the floor in two areas. I have an old house so it was labor intensive work in a crawlspace. I would highly recommend this company.

The repair call was cancelled. After waiting a week for the appointment their agent called and stated they do not work on our brand. The brand and type was clearly stated when the appointment was made. We now have to wait a week to make another appointment.

Response from Bud Matthews Service & Building Co Inc
Mr. [Member Name Removed], Mistakes can be embarrassing and the repercussion of losing a customer is very unfortunate. I can appreciate how frustrating and inconvenient this whole situation has been for you. This is a mistake that should never have happened and we have taken the appropriate corrective action to ensure it doesn't happen again. It's important to me that we regain your trust and that you're able to rely on us as you have in the past. Therefore, I have applied a $50.00 credit to your account for use on a future service call. Again, I am sorry and If there is anything else I can do, please let me know.

The shaft was bent and the cost of repairs was not warranted given the age of the washer. The service was punctual, the repairman went into detail of the issues and recommended purchase of new clothes washer. (Bud Mathews does not sell appliances). This company is our go to company for all appliance repair.

Mr. [Member Name Removed], I was attempting again to reach out to you, we want to ensure you received the service you rightfully deserved and would like to schedule a return visit to look at the light of your microwave. Please reach out to us at 919-929-0203 - BMS Team One of the ways that we get great feedback from our customers is via Angie's list Reviews and I appreciate you taking the time. I spoke with the senior appliance technician regarding this issue and he indicated it could be the bulb or it may be a loose wire in one of the two switches. Our goal is 100% complete satisfaction and would like to schedule a technician to return at a time convenient for you. I did look for a service call under the name [Member Name Removed] but was unsuccessful or else I would have reached out to you via a phone call. Please call our office 919-929-0203 at your convenience. Kind Regards. Hope

Bud Matthews went WAY above and beyond to research, rebuild and repair. Some parts are new, some are rebuilt, and all are working! Bud Matthews Service sent us polite, punctual and very professional service people. This was not a cookie cutter repair job, but BMS made it seem like they do this a couple of times a month. They saved us thousands of dollars. Many thanks.

The service technician was very polite and professional. He tried to diagnose the cause of the problem. He found that the issue may be with a faulty circuit board and a damper that was freezing shut blocking circulation of cold air into the refrigerator. Due to the age of the refrigerator ( roughly 7 to 8 yrs old), it was not possible to get replacement parts.
Description of Work: Our refrigerator was quite warm despite the fact that the freezer part of the refrigerator was operating properly. Also, there was water in the crisper drawers. We were interested in repairing the refrigerator if it was at all possible.

Called inquiring about a chimney repair... and was surprised at the exceptional service and helpfulness of Bud Matthews Service. Noah called me back within hours and referred me to someone who could complete the repairs we needed. We ended up using the Brick Mason they recommended - and couldn't be happier with the quality of work and professionalism we experienced. These folks are the first I'd call next time we need appliance repair or HVAC... it's rare to find a company that cares enough about customers to help them get what they need (even if it's not w them). Thank you Thank you Noah and everyone at Bud Matthews. Y'all are terrific.

I managed to get a same day appointment. The technician arrived right on time he diagnosed, fixed the problem, and rigged it to not happen i the future. He diagnosed the root cause (seals) and got me quote for work right away, with the understanding that they might not be worth replacing on such an old fridge. The folks in the office were responsive, pleasant, and helpful too.

Horrible! Had them come out to look at 2 refrigerators. The technician was there all of 20 minutes. He basically said neither one was worth fixing. He appeared not to have a clue what he was doing. One of the refrigerators was a 15 month old $2500 refrigerator. Then they sent me a bill for $126.50. I emailed to question the bill. First Bud told me they undercharged me, then they sent me an email saying we can't help it that your appliances are beyond repair. They were inexperienced, unprofessional and rude. Do yourself a favor and call someone else.

Response from Bud Matthews Service & Building Co Inc
When Mr [Member Name Removed] called for service I noticed he was not on our database, so as a new customer I specifically wanted him to be clear on our rate structure, I duly gave him that information. Our tech discovered one of his two refrigerators (which is approximately 8 years old) was out of refrigerant and therefore beyond economical repair. The other fridge needed 6 different shelf and cosmetic fittings, these type of parts are expensive. I left a price quote on Mr [Member Name Removed]'s voicemail, but never received a returned call. After waiting for over a week I followed company procedure and invoiced him for our minimum charge of $[Member Information Removed].50 (our one time trip charge of $76.50 and our minimum labor rate of $50.00. All our vehicles are fitted with GPS system's, our tech was at the residence for exactly 35 minutes and 48 seconds, and as such the customer should have actually been charged for a second 1/3 hour but as a gesture of goodwill we decided not to charge him for that time. Frankly, I am not sure what else we could have done. Simon Harper (Office Manager)
