147 The original price I was quoted for move-out cleaning was $520.00 and while I thought it extreme, I wanted a professional cleaning so I agreed. I was told that the ovens would not be cleaned unless the self-cleaning feature had been run (they said there is a problem with the chemicals if the...
The MaidsThe technician (Darryl) arrived around 10:15, well within the time frame provided of 9-12. He went right to work and figured out that the drainage pipe was clogged. He cleared it and then and wet-vac'ed the standing water in and around the washer tub. The total repair and clean-up was done...

Friedman Plumbing ExpressThe prices were good and I have had no need for any repairs for the last five years. It is really lightweight and works very well.
Do use this company. Fair and a good value. Doesn't try to sell you more than you need for repairs.... That's what's important!
The Bray & Scarff technician came to our home the first time in response to a call from me to repair our Jenn Aire oven. As is the case, one has to take a day of paid-time-off to stay home and wait for the technician because they don't ever know when they will arrive. When the technician...
It was a disaster. I checked on the house, and the carpets were not vacuumed, they did not wipe down the shelves, neglected to sweep the basement floor, and it goes on and on. I tried my best to make it idiot-proof, but the idiots get dumber each year. I had an explicit set of instructions...

Central Vacs Unlimited is a family-owned business which was started in 1974 and has been under the current ownership since 1997. We are one of the largest dealers of central vacuums and intercoms in the mid-Atlantic area. The showroom is stocked with many of our products enabling customers to "test drive" them before they are installed. We do not subcontract our work. Our own employees do the installations and make service calls. We are not aligned with a single manufacturer like many other companies. In fact, we offer more brands and product choices than virtually any other company. This enables us to provide products which meet the exact needs of our customers. Free estimates are provided on installation of new systems. We offer free technical support over the phone. Often, we help customers troubleshoot and repair systems on their own. Our courteous staff is available six days a week to greet our customers. We welcome an opportunity to work with you.
"Mike came to Annapolis yesterday to repair my central vac. Showed him the unit and then went inside for a short while and then asked him if he carried parts on what appeared to be a well-equipped truck. He said the motor wasn't on the truck; it was already installed. I was amazed. He was punctual, smart. fast and efficient and helped me use the warranty. Couldn't be happier with the service and expertise. Highly recommend."

"*CONTRACTOR FROM ***** Where do I began......(sorry if this is long I have some things to get off my chest) Initially, I was referred to this Company for maid service from my realtor. However, when they arrived at my home to do a quote they mentioned they also paint and do most home repairs. Since we were in the process of selling our home and was actually looking for someone who does home repairs I thought why not take a chance and allow them to complete both to hopefully save some sanity, time and money. They were contracted to work on most of my home. There really isn't a part of the home they didn't touch. In the beginning besides the delay in completing the work, I thought they did a OK job. I gave them the benefit of the doubt due to COVID. It wasnt until after they completed the first huge job, where my husband and I were satisfied and decided to hire them to do additional work. The first job wasnt perfect but we thought we could live with it. SHOULD HAVE STOPPED WHILE WE WERE AHEAD! The second job was pretty huge too, but we started to notice the quality of the work ditirating. It started to seem as if they began taking short cuts to complete the work which began to show. They worked when they wanted. They really didn't set a solid schedule. Sometimes they didnt even show up and would not give notice. Luckily, I worked from home and was flexible. The icing on the cake for us and why I decided to right a review is one of their last jobs was my kitchen counter. Originally, he was suppose to put granite on the counter. He claimed that he couldnt find anything that would fit on my counter which didnt make sense. He suggested that he paint the counter instead. This process was cheaper and quicker, and we trusted that it would look nice and be of quality. Who doesn't want to save money and time????? After he painted, within hours it messed up. I will admit that we weren't sure who was at fault. But regardless, all the money that we spent with him we didnt think it would be a big issue to come back and repair. They also had a few more things to touch up on. He came back and repaired the counter and the same thing happened within minutes. I found it odd that he didnt want to stick around a few minutes just to make sure the same thing didnt happen.This time I know for a fact it was nothing we did. I was the only one home AND after he swiftly ran out as if he was running track once I got a hold of him he admitted that when he washed his hands after, he probably got water on the counter because it began to bubble up as soon as he left. When he finally decided to answer he said we needed to buy more paint. He said for us to purchase the paint and let him know and he will come back out. I explained to him the importance of him fixing this counter due to home showings coming up soon. It has been a little over a month and after multiple text, phonecalls and voicemails he has yet to return my call! To add insult to injury now the patio that they painted is now fading and it has only been a month. They also power washed our home and took off alot of the paint!! I honestly can go line by line of all the repairs that they did and find something wrong!! Between the unprofessionalism, work ethics and TRASH WORK, STAY AWAY!!!! Consider this your warning. I believe the main guy name is Isa Calderon-castro! *YOUR WELCOME * Note: The maid service did a great job! Stay away from any painting or repairs!!!!! I am sure with the quality of work from the repair side, the maid service is probably keeping them afloat. DAM"

Appliance Repair in Carroll, Frederick, and Howard Counties
"We spent nearly $400 on a dishwasher repair that didn’t work. We scheduled follow up appointments and the technician never arrived during the scheduled windows, wasting our family’s time during a very busy time of year. Our dishwasher is worse off than before the repair. Do not recommend this company."

Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement.
Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55 per hour.
The answer to repairing vs. replacing appliances depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you’ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it’s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.
Small appliance repair costs average around $50 to $400, with costs ranging significantly based on the type of appliance, the extent of the damage, the issue, the appliance brand, and the availability of replacement parts. Generally speaking, you’ll pay less for repairs on very small appliances, like blenders and toasters, than you will for microwave repairs. We recommend consulting a small appliance repair technician for a quote before starting the project.
Small appliances typically include microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, food processors, blenders, mixers, slow cookers, air fryers, coffee makers, rice cookers, and any other appliance that can sit on your countertop. Major appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. Some people may include HVAC equipment like condensers and air handlers in this category, too. Small appliances are more of a specialty, so there’s a good chance a typical appliance repair company won’t be able to service and repair small appliances.
