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 arrived, he spent at most 15 seconds \"looking over\" the oven and decided it was a routine repair - no inspection, no testing, and barely any time for me to explain the problem. He told me he had to order a part, and then charged me $90 for the service call. The technician was rude, grumpy, and cold; not someone you would hire in a customer-facing position. He left in less than two minutes telling me someone from their company would call to tell me the part arrived and to schedule another appointment. I received a call from them some days later to schedule another visit to replace the part. I took another day of paid-time-off to have the oven repaired. Mid-afternoon of the day of the appointment I received a call from Bray & Scarff telling me the technician went home ill, and I would have to reschedule my repair. I rescheduled another visit, and took another day of paid-time-off. The technician came, replaced a board, and told me to check on it for a few days to ensure the repair worked. He said he wouldn't charge me for the part until he knew it would repair the oven. Again, the technician was rude, incommunicative, and acted as if we has being inconvenienced to come service my oven. The repair worked for a few days, but then the upper oven failed again. I called Bray & Scarff to schedule a fourth visit. I took a fourth day of paid-time-off to wait for the technician to finally repair the oven. I received a call on the day of the fourth appointment to tell me the technician went home ill again, and that I would have to reschedule for another day to have the oven repaired. I couldn't believe the lack of customer service this company provided me. I had taken four days of my paid-time-off and still my oven was not working. I spoke to a woman at Bray & Scarff and asked her what they were going to do? I did not want the same technician because of his attitude and lack of performance. The woman assured me she was going to put another technician on the job. I insisted they come \"work\" on the oven on my terms since they had already caused me to spend four days of my paid-time-off waiting for them to repair the oven. She promised to call me the next morning by 8:00 am to let me know what she had arranged. I have yet to receive a call from Bray & Scarff to this day, two weeks later! If Bray & Scarff were the LAST company in the DC area who could repair my oven...I would replace it with another brand before engaging them for service! They are the ABSOLUTE worst service company I have EVER dealt with in my decades of home ownership! There is no comparison - a total lack of customer focus, a total lack of professionalism, no follow-through, and a general attitude of being inconvenienced by their customers. In a word...they SUCK! If you are considering using Bray & Scarff - DO NOT! Run at top speed to another service provider for your needs. Theses folks should not be allowed to provide customer service - they don't know how to provide top quality service, and don't care whether they inconvenience their customers!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/chevy-chase/bray-and-scarff-reviews-158861.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"CottageCare Leawood","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MD","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"MICHAEL C."},"reviewBody":"It was a disaster.

I told them on numerous occasions that I do not care what it costs, I want the house cleaned immaculately from top to bottom. How could you not vacuum the carpets???? The shelves were full of dust, and it was obvious the cleaners were in a hurry to get out and suspected no one would check behind them. I called the manager and told her of my disappointment. She gave me a slight discount, and offered to come back, but I was on my way out of state. Too late. Poor, poor oversight, and if the maids worked for me they would be fired.

"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"

FAQs for kenmore vacuum repair projects in Shady Side, MD
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 $55per 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 $50to $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.
