I used this company to clean dryer vent for my condo and they charged $65. So when I needed dryer vent cleaning for 2 family house, I called and was given quote of $125. When they arrived, the technician told me that he recommended re-doing the dryer vent for one of the apartments and gave me a quote of $1000 to do that. I told them that I was not interested in that and to do their best cleaning the vent. At job completion, I was told that I owed them $250 because it was a private home. So I paid them because I had no choice. The purpose of this review is to deter anyone else from using them. I hope the $125 extra they charged is worth it to them.

The APEX service person, Gage, did an excellent job. He corrected the rather winding duct system and created a truly efficient connection. He crawled under the deck to suction and clean the dryer vent, and came back with a smile. An excellent worker indeed. I would grade APEX (and their worker Gage) a triple AAA (if there's such a score). Very highly recommended. Thank you very much.

Apex does it again! Communication via email with Bill N in the office was excellent with prompt responses which is huge because its tough for me to talk on the phone while I'm at work. Ray, the tech was great and very candid/easy going, easy to deal with. Used the Angies List coupon as well. Had some issues that delayed the repair, but these were NOT the fault of Apex (and they didn't charge me for having to come back a 2nd time to complete the repair). Great job all around, don't hesitate to call them for your appliance repair needs. And if you ever replace a motor on a dryer, BE SURE to purchase a blower wheel too, just in case! ;)

John and Zack came to our home, wearing masks and they were extremely professional. They discovered a problem that resulted in a repair of our dryer vent. John presented pricing and told me what needed to be done. He took care of it right away and completed the job. They cleaned up any mess that made was during the repairs. They patched up the holes that were made to do the repairs. We will definitely use their services again.

So I called that number and had a subsequent long phone conversation with the office about what I wanted done. I wanted my chimney and my gas fireplace inspected because I’m selling my house. They told me they would do a level 2 inspection (whatever that is). I set it up for a week in advance so I could schedule a PTO day from work. The day before, Thursday May 16, I called the office to make sure I was still on the schedule. The woman told me I was and she said her boss told her I did not NEED a level 2 inspection. I told I wanted it inspected even if I did not need it, for safety reasons and because I’m selling the house. She said ok. She did NOT say they would NOT do the inspection for me. Apex was scheduled to arrive at my house between 12:30 and 4, on Friday, and call ahead when they were leaving their previous job. They NEVER bothered to call ahead and arrived at about 4:30. Upon arriving the tech informs me that they WILL NOT be doing anything on my fireplace or chimney. No inspection, no nothing. I ask why and he said because the office told him NOT to do it. He said they do not do that kind of work. That is the reason I hired them in the first place because of the response I got from them on Angie’s List and because the woman on the phone said they could and would do that for me. Why didn’t she tell me NO the week before and I would have skipped them and found someone else? Then the tech guy says the office is going to call me and explain things. They NEVER called. Since they were there and I had already wasted my PTO day I let them clean the HVAC vents, which was also on the schedule. I think Apex is disingenuous and incompetent. Why not explain things to me clearly instead of me wasting a PTO day and then show up at 4:30 with an attitude and tell me what they will and WON’T do? I also had called the Apex office twice Friday afternoon prior to their arrival, once at 2:20 and again at 3:30, wondering why I had not heard from anyone yet about their arrival. I talked to two different women. Why didn’t either one of them explain to me that they were NOT going to do what I hired them to do. Why make me wait until the guy finally shows up on 4:30 on a Friday afternoon and tells me that they are only going to do what THEY want and NOT what the CUSTOMER wants? I notice that Apex gets pretty good reviews here on Angie’s List. Therein lies the problem. They let the good reviews go to their head. They’ve gotten arrogant. “Hey, look at us, we're great. You don’t like it, too bad.” That’s exactly what the tech told me at 4:30 when I complained to him about Apex’s attitude. He said, ‘No, no, we’re a GREAT company, we’re just not going to do this for you because the office told me not to.’ Plus they lied to me because at 4:45 the tech told me that the office was trying to call me to explain things to me and apparently my phone was shut off. My phone was NOT SHUT OFF. It was with me, in my pocket, on, and working. There is also a thing on everyone’s phone that is; call history. There were NO incoming calls on my phone from Apex at all on Friday. Only the two outgoing calls I made to them. The disingenuous, incompetent, unprofessional people at the Apex office did NOT WANT to talk to me at 5 pm on Friday and tell me they had screwed up and had in fact lied to me. I booked an appointment with them a week in advance, on May 10. That gave them an entire week to contact me to let me know they WOULD NOT do what I needed them to do. I could have found another company. I could have rescheduled my PTO time at work. I don’t have an unlimited amount of PTO time available and it must be scheduled in advance. Go back and read the response I got from Apex on Angie’s List to my original inquiry. That is what I hired them to do. Then they show up LATE on Friday afternoon and cop an attitude with me, and lie to me. I do not recommend Apex at all. They are incompetent, have a poor (arrogant) attitude, and poor communication skills. They are unprofessional and less than honest. Apex is a very arrogant company and does not care about customer service or satisfied customers. Perhaps they have too much business, they’re making too much money. I think they also incompetently overbook which is why the tech showed up late to my house, tired, and with an attitude. He asked me if I STILL WANTED my vents cleaned. I believe he would have been happy for me to say no, so they could pack it in, and call it a day at 4:30. The tech guy told me he was dead tired and it had been a long day for him. And Apex still walked away with about $400 of my money for cleaning the vents in my townhouse. I would never use them again.
Description of Work: I feel that Apex was less than forthright and less than honest with me. I started out by contacting them via Angie’s List. This is what I told them I needed done: ‘Do you work on gas log units for fireplaces? I don’t need mine repaired, just inspected. It has not been used in 5 years. The gas valve is shut off and the flue is closed. I am putting my house on the market next month and need the gas fireplace unit and chimney inspected for safety.’ This is the response I received from Apex Appliances on Angie’s List: ‘hi, it's $289 for a level 2 chimney/fireplace inspection and cleaning which is usually what is required for the sale of a home. you can call us at 732 257 4590 to discuss it more and set up an appointment.’

I know you stated several times that we did not fulfill our obligations on your service requests, however, I must disagree. Our customer service reps called you on Monday, Tuesday & Thursday, only to receive a voice mailbox full. You called us Thursday afternoon, in which clearly explained that we may not be able to inspect your gas fireplace, as you have disconnected your gas line, which is out of our scope of work. We explained this in great detail, and you were fully aware of this before my tech entered your home. You wanted to have your air ducts cleaned regardless of the fireplace outcome, as you explained this on the phone, so inflating your negativity on your experience is a bit troubling. Voice mailboxes being full is not our fault nor is working out of our scope of work. Gas is nothing to play with, your safety is our highest concern, so we informed you to get a qualified plumber to have it checked out.

I scheduled service for between 11-3. At 2;15 , I called the office to make sure the technician was still coming and was told he would be there by 3. Thereafter, the technician texted that he was on his way. At 3;15, I called the office and was told that the technician said no one was home so he left. I informed the office that I live in a one floor condo and that he never rang the doorbell and that both Fedex and Amazon rang the bell right before he was scheduled to come and I was very much home. I asked why he would not have called me before leaving and the office personnel very rudely said " well he text you, so why would he call you" . I asked to speak to a manager and was told " you can't:" and that the technician would not return . I was very upset because I had scheduled my day around this service call. When I asked the office when this person would be rescheduled, he said " we will not" and hung up the phone!!! It was bad enough that they never showed up, but this rude and awful customer service was the icing on the cake!!!

It is obvious that something did not go right, but the way you make it sound it was entirely our fault. We spoke on the phone for 30 minutes and we made a special appointment date on Saturday to return to help the situation, we did exactly what you instructed us to do, and you still wrote a BAD Review. We TEXT you 30 minutes before coming to your home, which you instructed us to do, WE then knocked on your door and rang your door bell, and still WE DID NOT GET AN ANSWER from you, until our technician left your home, 30 minutes later. when you called the office in a RANT. We followed your directions and even showed up without getting your phone response. You were absolutely rude, and full of demands to the point we could no longer be scolded any longer and my customer service team member ended the call. It is unfair that you are not taking responsibility of not answering your phone or door.
