The techs arrived on time (and I appreciated that it was on the early end of the range of times they gave me). They were neither friendly nor unfriendly. They seemed to do a good job. They upsold me on cleaning out the interior of the dryer for an extra $30, which was fine. They didn't clean up after themselves as well as they could have before they left, which was disappointing.

Thank you, I am glad you had your dryer cleaned out, as this is just as important as the dryer vent.

Fine. Repair man was running late. When he got there, he worked quickly. Determined that my washer was beyond repair and gave me his honest suggestions for replacement brands. He thoroughly cleaned out my dryer vents, and was very friendly and professional. I would definitely hire this company again. They were easy to work with on the phone, too. No problem booking, etc.

He was good. One of the things that he made a point of telling me was when he pulled the air conditioning duct off in my dining room in order to clean out the system there was mold on my air conditioning duct. I asked him if he could repair it and he said no they don't do that so unfortunately I can't. I had major house work done probably about 2 years ago and no one bothered to tell me how bad my air conditioning duct covers were. They had to pull them off to paint my house and everything. I never heard how bad they were from prior. When I pulled that thing off it was disgusting and I actually walked it right out of the house because I was so worried about the mold on it. I ended up buying all the covers online and replacing them all because I was terrified about how bad the system looked. He told me that everything else looked good. The ducts didn't have the mold in it. It was just the covers. When I was replacing those covers I looked in the ducts and they all looked clean. Not all of these guys do the flexible hose ducts and these guys did. They came out about a week after I called them. They were more expensive. They did come in and did what they needed to. He communicated what they were going to do and they went about doing the work.
Description of Work: He did my air conditioning duct cleaning. He did my dryer duct also as part of the cost.

I was impressed withe ratings this company received on Angie's list which was why I called them. The first appointment I made no one showed up and no phone call. When I spioke to the office I was told that the service man was hung up on another job. My reply was that someone should have called me. I made a second appointment-AGAIN no one showed up and no phone call. I called the office again & I was given the excuse that my appointment day had been changed. The change was not made by me. He offered to send someone out for the third time. Perhaps if he offered to come out for free I might have said yes. But I was not about to waste another day waiting for someone and then have another no show.

Things certainly did not workout they way we both wanted them to. The first attempt we made to come to your home, was our fault as we were running behind schedule, when we called to inform you, you said, to reschedule to the following week, as it was going to be late in the day. The next scheduled appointment you cancelled when we were on our way to your home. We try very hard to operate as efficiently as possible and our goal is always to supply the very best service to you,

I scheduled a dryer vent cleaning for my condo and also requested a diagnostic for problems I was having with my washer/dryer unit. Ray came out and did my cleaning and gave me an honest review about the issues I was experiencing with my washer/dryer. Very much appreciated his honesty; hard to find nowadays! I highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services in the future!

We were very happy with the service from Apex Appliance Repair when we used them in October 2016 for a refrigerator problem so we called upon them again on May 7 at appx 7:30 am for a different refrigerator problem. Having not heard back from them we called a second and then a third time. It was our understanding from their website that they were available 24 hours-7 days. We did not receive a return call until mid day the following day May 8 (a day and a half later). Our refrigerator was leaking water and we saw this as an emergency. Failing to receive a timely return call from Apex we sought after another company to help.

We have limited Sunday phone service as we are only a small company and everyone needs to have some time off. We did call you back, Monday AM but received no answer and again later, but by that time it was too late. Our low service rates do not make it feasible to have emergency service anymore on Sundays, many customers do not want to pay the rates for residential appliances. I hope this helps you understand our Sunday policy.

Thank you for your review, as experienced technicians (30 years), it does not take us long to evaluate the condition of a dishwasher. The cost of a new one verses repair makes this task easier for us, as we know the cost of the parts firsthand. Although it only took a few minutes to tell you what was wrong, the value of the diagnosis is why you called us. If the repair costs are more than half the cost of a new dishwasher, we will be honest and tell you to buy a new, which we did. I hope this explains the value in which you paid the service fee of $69.00.

We tried to call you to let you know we were on the way, but we did not receive an answer. We told you that your phone just kept ringing with no voice mail, and you said" that'[Member Information Removed] what happens when I am on the phone". So you are upset with us because YOU did not answer your phone when we called. If you were not happy with the 4 hour window, which you did put up a fuss about, why did you agree to it. We try to be as upfront as possible with you, as this was discussed at the time the appointment was made.

Found Apex on Angie's list, saw many positive reviews. I loved the fact that Apex responded to all the reviews. Called and Apex responded quickly, Steve was very professional. He was able to diagnose the problem and it was amazing to me how accurate he was in locating the disconnected vent. He then repaired it for which I was very grateful. Great work, thank you!

Thank you for your kind review. Cleaning out the inside of your dryer is just as important as cleaning the vent, I'm glad you do this service. If the dryer ever overheats, it is the lint inside of the dryer that catches on fire.

Technician spent 3 minutes examining my washer and determined that the rubber gasket was torn as well as the drum was worn and needed replacing- in his opinion it would have been too costly to repair and recommended replacing the unit.. he took my prepaid $60.00 Angie's List Special Coupon fee and departed... After he left, not wanting to spend 700.00 for a new washer - I repaired the tear myself with gorilla tape- The washer is still performing perfectly. I still haven't seen any issues with the drum which the technician said was going to fail on me at any moment... I don't understand how someone can recommend such a poor choice for a consumer. I'm sure the gasket being replaced would have given me much longer with this appliance, but he never offered that solution. I was very disappointed with the service this repair man gave.

Wow, it seems like we are being penalized for being upfront and honest with you. After years of experience with repairing washing machines, we can determine when it is feasible to invest in a repair very quickly. In your case, the tub bearing is making noise and will fail or has failed, it is just barley operational. The cost of such a repair in $400, on top of that, because the tub bearing is not properly operational, it ripped the tub seal, the cost of that repair is $295.00. We would not tell you to invest $295.00 in repairing a seal if you have another major repair is right behind this one. You pay us to be honest and thorough. Boy, if my insurance company ever heard of us using Gorilla Tape to repair a potential major leak in someone's home, we would be in big trouble.

Our technician stated it was the coils short cycling and shutting off the heat, after the dryer has ran for a while, but you refused to do the repair because the dryer was working at the time. It was expressed in detail that the dryer's heat will only fail again unless you replace the failing parts. You were given an estimate and refused to do the repair. I don't understand the "C" if we performed all of our professional duties.
