Maureen of Room Solutions called me shortly after I sent an initial email to her, and walked through my vacant home later that day. The next day, she sent me a staging proposal, and later also provided a detailed list of items throughout the house that needed cleaning or repair so that the house would show well. Two weeks later, after the remodeling was complete, the furniture was delivered and Maureen spent the day staging the house. She did a great job in selecting tasteful furniture and accessories to suit each room, and her staging made two bedrooms with slanted ceilings look much larger than they did when vacant. Three days after I relisted my house for sale, I received a full-priced offer. I highly recommend Room Solutions to anyone selling their home; the cost is absolutely worth it.

They called us to get credit card information - we were SHOCKED at the price but went ahead and authorized the charge. The next day, I received an email alert from MasterCard that a charge for $472 hit the card. WHAT?! Well, they went ahead and did another (unauthorized) job AFTER we approved the charge to our card. The job; a 10 minute (and $10 in parts) job, replacing the emergency cutoff line under the kitchen sink. $142 for 10 minutes!!!!! Not only an outrageous fee, but credit card fraud as well!
Then, the serviceman (really SALES person) proceeded to:
a) try and sell an annual and quot;VIPand quot; membership to our tenant for $191/yr (gives you 10% discount on any services - at their rates, 10% is still not a deal!) and then ...
b) try to sell a multi thousand dollar job to replace the sewer line (our regular plumber said not needed) and ...
c) told our tenant that their and quot;oldand quot; toilet (10 years) should be replaced for water savings and better flushing efficiency. What toilet did they try to sell? A $675 Toto Drake toilet. $675!!!!!
DO NOT use this sales organization. WAY OVERPRICED, and try to sell up to services not needed. The service people must be on a great commission program!!!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/palm-springs/kc%27s-23-12-hour-plumbing%2C-inc-reviews-181086.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Hi-Tech Appliance Repair LLC","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Perry D."},"reviewBody":"Our dryer had squeaked for a few days and then started making a racket when it went around.

If you’re debating whether it’s worth repairing a damaged appliance, consider a few factors, including the appliance’s age and the cost to replace it. Large, high-value appliances are worth repairing, especially when the fixes are minor and the appliance is only a few years old. However, if the cost of repairs is more than half the price of a new item, then it may be worth replacing it. For example, if your refrigerator repair costs continue increasing and add up to more than 50% of the cost to replace it, you’re better off buying a new one.
In most cases, appliance warranties do not transfer to new owners. However, some exceptions apply. To check the status of your appliance warranty and whether you can transfer it when you move, review the terms and conditions of your warranties or consult your home warranty service. When purchasing a new appliance or one from a previous owner, be sure to pay attention to its warranty status, including the type of coverage and any exclusions.
Typically, most appliances last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, depending on the appliance, brand, and amount of use. Keeping a regular maintenance schedule, including cleaning and tune-ups, also helps appliances last longer. Dryers, gas stoves, and refrigerators tend to last the longest, averaging about 13 to 15 years. Microwaves and dishwashers tend to last about 10 years on average.
There are a few scenarios when replacing all kitchen appliances simultaneously makes sense, including major renovations, moving into a new home, or purchasing as a set. If you want to refresh your kitchen upon move-in day or start over during a renovation, consider purchasing and replacing your kitchen appliances at once to save on labor costs. Also, if your appliances are all original to the home or are older and require increasing amounts of maintenance and repair, replacing them all at the same time may be a good option.
The cost of home appliances ranges from $350 to $8,000 or more, depending on the brand, type of appliance, and features. Additional cost factors include any hookups that need to be installed, such as gas, plumbing, or electrical. Keep in mind that major appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and water heaters, will cost more than minor appliances, such as microwaves, due to the size, complexity, and essential nature of the item.
