How pricing works

The first hour tells the truth

Most repair companies either quote blind over the phone or bury the number until they're standing in your kitchen. We do neither.

Every job starts with a service call and first-hour diagnosis — a fixed, published fee to send a licensed tech, find the actual problem, and put a real number in writing. If you approve the repair, the work continues at our posted labor rate. If you don't, you owe only the diagnostic and keep the written estimate. No guessing, no pressure, no surprise line items.

From request to tested repair

Four steps, no mystery

Describe the issue

Tell us what's wrong when you book — symptoms, the appliance or circuit, and your address. We route the right tech.

Inspect on site

A licensed tech diagnoses the real problem in the first hour — not a guess from the driveway.

Review the estimate

You get a written price before we proceed. Approve it, defer it, or take the estimate and think it over.

Test the result

We complete the repair, test it in front of you, and leave the work area clean. Warranty in writing.
