Another appliance service person said just to buy a new machine ... for several hundred dollars more than what I paid for repair. Would call Mike again for appliance repair.

First job went perfectly. Installed easily, and worked perfectly. Sales person was right on with his choices and the procedure. They started the second job, promptly and did the combination furnace (boiler) and tankless water heater first. Had it installed so that the tenants had water, but the furnace did not function. That was on a Friday, when they got that far. Did not return Monday, Did not Return Tuesday. I called and found that there was an issue with the power hookup of the boiler. They would get back to it asap when parts came in. In the meantime they were doing other jobs and now I wasn't going to get worked on again until they finished their other jobs. This prompted my wife to write (Email) to Andrea Russo, to complain. She returned the Email right away and promised that they would get the job done ASAP. Another week of waiting went by and no show. Finally the parts came in and the issue was resolved. Now the second part of the job was to have begun; the installation of the central air conditioning. They started, and had to install lines and vents through the crawl space/attic. They did this, but in the interim stepped through the ceiling in the living room and hall. After a week, they left, the air conditioning wasn't hooked up. No word, just left. I now started calling the Sales Rep to get some answers. He would get back to me. Two days went by and no word, prompting another call. Seems the installers couldn't hook the wiring up to the power panel in the asement w/o some extra work. It took two further days to get that resolved and they finished the installation. It didn't work! Now they had to come back and find the problem. They would call an hour before they wanted to come. I had to try and make arrangements with the tenants to be there. Suddenly the tenants were leaving on vacation, and so I needed to be there. I called them Crisafulli Bros.and said frankly, that they now had to work on my schedule, as we were into the second month of the installation. Finally it was finished and the everything was installed, working and was beautiful in the installation. Now the reparation of the ceilings had to take place. Two weeks went by before they had the matching ceiling tiles. They did the repairs, but left the painting of the ceiling unfinished (one coat on, but needed a second coat to cover the patch. Finally job finished! Hooray! Now, I wait for final Invoice to pay bill. Two weeks after job is finished, my tenants called to say that the air conditioning is not working. I called Crisafulli Bros. and they said there was nothing they could do because my account was not paid, so I was a delinquent account. I hit the roof, telling them that this was the last straw. I had never been given the final Invoice, and they had better make this right or I would have to take legal action. They apologized and said it would be rectified immediately and a technician would be there soon. Finally, everything was working, but several weeks went by and numerous phone calls to get the final invoice. Finally, Invoice came and was paid on August 7th. I am glad to be done with them, and hope not to have any more trouble calls.

Also, his policy is if he has any leftover gelcoat from a previous repair he made on someone's boat, he won't charge you for the material if there is a gelcoat that will work for your repair. Luckily, he had some left over gelcoat, although not a perfect match, from a previous repair that he used to repair mine. Gelcoat is very expensive and a quart is the minimum size if he needs to get it for your repair. Mike did a good job and I am satisfied with the results. I would use him again and would recommend him to others. If there was a weak point, I would say that it would be that there needs to be better communication from him. I called him on a Thursday to inquire about the repair and he told me he was going to start it that day and would call me later that day to let me know how it went. Well, I didn't get a call back and I had to call him the following Monday to find out if it was done, which it was. Mike told me when I called that he had just finished it up.

Repair was done to garage door. I hired another company to completely redo the project with a new door at the same price as the repair had cost. I was quoted a price to replace the garage door by Precision for $600 more than I paid a better company.
Mike arrived promptly and got to work taking the washing machine apart. After pulling a ton of dog hair (I own a boarding kennel and we do ALOT of hairy dog laundry!) out of the inside of the machine, he put in the replacement part in and bam, the washing machine was up and running again....

FAQs for boiler repair projects in Alplaus, NY
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
