Have you ever imagined what it would be like to have a technician you could trust? Someone that you could have in your home even when you weren’t there? Someone that handles your appliance as if it were their own? A person who shows up when they say they will? A technician that won’t take advantage of you? When you work with me, that’s what you get , and you’ll find that it will free up a lot of time and attention to focus on more important things. With me, you won’t have to worry about transparency. I’m not like the other companies that inflate the price of parts or charge a ridiculous trip and labor fee. When you work with me, you’ll always know beforehand exactly what you’re paying for. And of course, I have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. That means if you aren’t completely satisfied with my services then you don’t pay a dime. I’m here to make your life easier, show up when I say I will, and consistently and reliably repair your appliance with a high attention to detail. What are you waiting for? Give me a call TODAY to set up an appointment, and say goodbye to your appliance worries for good! I look forward to meeting you!

"Horrible. What a waste of time. Technician came, diagnosed, ordered parts. Another week went by, we were scheduled for the repair. The man didn't even get the bolts off. He stripped a bolt and wanted to break a piece to disassemble the washer. He then wanted US to pay $80 for the part that he needed to break. My husband used WD-40 and got the rest of the bolts off with no problem. Breaking was not necessary. When I called to speak to a manager, Chelsea answered and asked me to hold on. She never hit the hold button and I heard the whole conversation. There was no supervisor. Instead of saying that, she kept me on hold for a total of 17 minutes during 3 separate calls. The business is run by children and now I have to wait another 2 weeks. Plus, the diagnosis of drain pump and tub seal are both WRONG!"

DURING COVID-19: We are still booking appointments and practicing safety precautions that are in-line with the executive order. Please call for the fastest response and to get more details about how we are able to help you with your home needs. Woodwork, painting, electrical, plumbing, and more. My services might be varied, but they all come with the same promise of quality, dedication, and durability. Bonded and insured, I’m an experienced contractor with knowledge passed down from generations. I can offer a 1-year guarantee for all my services, along with free estimates.

"My experience with Rashad started off pretty well. He was nice, and I felt his pricing was very fair. He came by a little less than 2 months ago to give me an estimate, and we had scheduled an appointment around 2 weeks after the estimate, as he was booked up until then, which was fine by me. The day before he was scheduled to begin the job at my house, he asked if he could reschedule for a week later. I agreed, but I asked if he could come by in less than another week just to do 2 priority tasks such as installing my address number outside my house, as my house had no address number on it for weeks. He agreed and came by the following day for a few hours to do the address numbers and patch up a large hole in my ceiling, which I really appreciated. He came by the following week and completed some of the items he agreed to complete. Then the following week he was scheduled to come back on a Thursday, but the day before that appointment he said he had to reschedule because he needed a helper that was not available until Friday. No problem and we rescheduled to Friday. He was a little late on Friday and they were doing some loud work that sort of delayed our infant son's bedtime, but it was no big deal. That Friday evening before he left my home, I told him I would pay him most of the money we agreed upon for the entire list of agreed upon work even though there was still a significant amount of work left to be done on the list. He said he would be back Friday of the following week, and I paid him via Venmo that same evening he left my home. Unfortunately, after I paid him most of the agreed upon money, he never returned to complete any work, and there was still a number of list items he never completed nor even started. I text messaged him twice the following week before our appointment. Once to send him a list of the remaining items and another time the day before our appointment to confirm, but he never responded. Then at the end of the day of the missed appointment, I texted him again to politely ask when he would be able to come back and complete the job. Again, I received no response. About midway into the following week, I called him and he claimed he never received my text messages, which doesn't explain the missed appointment, but at least he said he would come back the following week to address the remaining work on the list. He then gave me his email address since he said he did not receive my text messages. We then setup an appointment for a Wednesday via text message, as I suppose he was now receiving my text messages. I text messaged and emailed him the day before our Wednesday appointment to confirm and ask what time he planned on arriving. He said he would be there around 10am. Now comes Wednesday 10am, the day & time of our appointment, and he does not show up. He sends me a text message later that morning that says he's stuck in the city on an emergency, he has not headed my way yet, and he will have an update for me soon. As of now, a full week later after that most recently missed appointment, I never received any update nor heard back from Rashad at all. I text messaged, called, and emailed him about 3 times each in the last week in case he would claim his phone or text messaging was not working again, and I have not heard back from him at all. Despite my frustration at this point, my messages to him were all courteous such as asking him if all was well with him and asking that he please get back to me at his earliest convenience, thanks, regards, etc.... I feel pretty stupid for trusting Rashad, as he never returned after I paid him, which was close to four weeks ago. Now, close to two months after finding Rashad, I have to begin the process of finding another handyman and paying money again to a new handyman to fix and complete the work Rashad left unfinished. My apologies for the lengthy review, but I am just astonished by Rashad's actions and unprofessionalism."

I have a 30K entertainment system that the last company botched installation on and then kept charging me for call outs but still never fixed their work. So we brought in Tamas. He has incredible integrity (advising the right equipment vs. the equipment he would earn the best kick back on).

"Terrible! He came to fix my clogged sink in bathroom but created another problem in my bathtub. I did not notice until the next day when I was going to take a shower and noticed brownish debris in my tub. I turn on water to clean it and water not draining and bathtub now is clogged. I called to complain but he insisted that it is not his fault. I told he that of course it is that I had no issues with my bathtub before he came. Whatever he did to unclogged my sink with his snake tool he clogged my bathtub. Probably push it to my bathtub. Again he insisted that it is not his fault anyfulld if I want bathtub unclogged that I will have to pay again. He also insisted that I pay him in cash which I did. This is a scam and he has probably done this to other people. Beware of this company and do not do business with them."

FAQs for appliance repair projects in Forest Hills, NY

If your refrigerator needs to be repaired, contact an appliance repair company to diagnose the issue and repair your refrigerator. It’s okay to leave it plugged in and running, but unplug it if it makes unusual noises.

Signs that your refrigerator may need repairs include:

  • Food items are not being held at the correct temperature (between 35 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit)

  • The fridge is using too much energy and seems to run all the time

  • Loud and/or unusual noises

Possible causes include:

  • A damaged door 

  • Faulty condenser coil 

  • Malfunctioning control board

Contacting an appliance repair professional as soon as possible can help save items in your fridge from spoiling. Common fridge repairs include the compressor, control board, thermostat, defrost motor, coils, and ice maker.

If you’re having problems with your dryer, contact an appliance repair professional as soon as possible to inspect and repair it. Having a faulty dryer can be a major inconvenience in the home. 

Your dryer may need repairs if:

  • It isn’t turning on 

  • It’s not releasing enough heat

  • The drum doesn’t spin

Common repairs include:

  • A damaged or worn-out belt or 

  • Damaged or shorted electrical wiring 

  • A control board malfunction

Dryers tend to overheat or become short-circuited over time, especially after heavy use. Other common dryer repairs include door switches, timers, and control boards.

If the unit is not under warranty, then you may want to call a reliable appliance repair technician to diagnose the issue and recommend a repair. Some of the most common washing machine issues are inadequate water supply to the unit, poor drainage due to clogging, leaks, and excessive vibration while washing. Like ovens, the cost to repair a washing machine will vary widely depending on which issue you’re experiencing. 

The average cost to repair an appliance depends on the appliance, make, model, the part that needs repair, and how long it takes to replace or repair a part. The following are the average repair costs for the most common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: $200–$300

  • Freezer: $90–$500

  • Oven, cooktop, range: $100–$500

  • Microwave: $50–$400

  • Dishwasher: $160–$300

  • Garbage disposal: $70–$250

  • Washing machine: $50–$450

  • Dryer: $100–$400

Appliance repair contractors may charge $40 to $120 per hour for labor, and most also provide the replacement parts necessary at an additional cost.  It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays and emergency fees may apply if you need your appliance fixed immediately.

It's good to contact the manufacturer first to see if any warranties still exist, and if they have any specific repair persons they recommend. Some specialty units or smart units may require the assistance of a manufacturer-approved technician. Oven issues can be more challenging to diagnose than other appliances in the home because many of the parts are difficult to access for inspection or replacement. Some common oven repairs involve replacing damaged burners, heating coils, or electric cables. Purchasing additional parts, such as a new heating coil may also increase the total repair cost.
