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.

It took 2 days to accomplish this job. Three men arrived at 8am each day and left at 5pm each day. They were hard workers and didn't even take a break except for lunch. Each day they started by putting down floor covers over the living room carpet to protect it from soot. They warned me when it would be extremely noisy so I could go outside, if need be, with my grand daughter. I couldn't believe they were able to break up that humongous WW2 boiler and bring it up very narrow stairs with limited access from the cellar. They took the time to tidy up the area each day. Tom's parting words were "I'll be back to recheck everything after a few days and make sure there are no problems with the job". The men were all very polite. I felt comfortable with them there in the house.

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 Rensselaer, 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.
