Glenn was prompt and I felt his charge was reasonable for the time spent.
Description of Work: Water was leaking from below the washing machine. Glenn came out and did several tests and determined it was not the washing machine, instead it was the plumbing where the washing machine drained.

He was prompt (actually early but called to make sure it would be OK) and started to work right away. The only reason I gave him a B on professionalism is that he was confused by the wiring setup on the new disposal and did not take initiative to find out what he needed to know. I had to find the phone number on the box and call the company so they could explain. Once that was worked out he completed the job efficiently.
Description of Work: Glenn replaced the garbage disposal.

I contacted Mr. Townsend about my "possessed" front load GE washing machine. Mr. Townsend was very polite and originally stated he could come out the following day. About an hour later he called back & was able to see me within the hour. When he arrived, he immediately went to work. He diagnosed my problem as a bad circuit board and stated he would not quote me a price since he would have to order it and didn't want to mislead me with a guess-timate (which I completely appreciated). The diagnostic fee was only $35. The following morning Mr. Townsend called me back & quoted me $425 to replace the board. He advised me that it would probably be more cost effective if I purchased a new unit as opposed to trying to fix my 5 year old washer. I was so appreciative of his honesty and candor. Instead of trying to push a high repair bill on me, he recommended what would be in MY best interest. Most repair representatives are all about the sale, not the customer. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Townsend to my friends and neighbors. His professionalism and honesty is so rarely found and an obvious treasure.
Description of Work: moved face bottom of unit and checked water pump to make sure clean, ran machine to verify water pump is working, witnessed washing machine errors and diagnosed the problem.

Excellent job. I will call againg
Description of Work: I went on line to Angie's list at 2:30 pm. Glen called me within an hour. He was in my neighborhood. I raced home to meet him. He repaired my range. I am still waiting for results for my ice maker to work. But Glenn was not insistant on making repairs he offered his suggestion and if the icemaker does not start up I will call him again. He was professional and I found most helpful.

Called Glenn when the oven in my rental house stopped working. He spoke to the tenant and determined that it was probably the heating element and so he arranged a time with the tenant to come out. He came with the part in hand and replaced the element. That did turn out to be the problem. Glenn was professional, fair priced, and did a good job. I would hire him again.

Oven in rental unit we manage was not working. I called Glen and he called the tenant. Glen called me back and told me that based on what the tenant was experiencing it was one of two issues. He quoted for both and said he would have both parts with him at the service call. He called me after the service call and told me it was the lesser of the two quotes he had given me.

We called Glenn to arrange a service call to troubleshoot my underperforming dishwasher, which was leaving spots on the dishes (worse than normally acceptable), and generally not performing up to spec . He scheduled a visit for the next day. Glenn's son was the technician making the actual call, and he was prompt and professional in analyzing our issue, testing our machine, and recommending corrective action. The service call itself was only $35, and apparently no parts or additional labor were required. Glenn called us the next day with two additional suggestions that he felt would result in cleaner dishes. We did not complete all of the suggested remedies for our problem immediately because of timing constraints and active use of the still underperforming dishwasher, but we are fully satisfied by our excellent experience with this provider. In fact, I called Glenn back today (11/16/12), based on his assurance on the phone that they would be available if we had further problems, to report on a particularly bad batch of dishes we encountered when we unloaded the dishwasher this morning. After discussing further steps that might possibly address the problem, which Glenn was convinced was not mechanical, based on his son's report, we arrived at the possibility that the use of powdered detergent might be the culprit. Experimentation with liquid detergent is still underway, but based on the experience thus far, Glenn provided everything we paid for, and then some. We will definitely call him first the next time we have an appliance problem.
Description of Work: Glenn's son, the Company's technician responsible for our part of town, came by promptly after we placed the service call, and thoroughly checked out our underperforming GE dishwasher. He diagnosed the problem as a possibly clogged drainage and rinsing system, due to soap residue, and suggested a method for cleaning the residue. He found no mechanical problems, and charged us only $35.00 for the call. Glenn himself followed up with a phone call, and serveral further suggestions on how to improve the quality of the machines output. A good value for the money.

He fixed everything just fine. I am very pleased with this company. He always does a great job and have had him out several times over the past 22 years. He has repaired my oven, refrigerators, whatever I have a need for. He always answers the phone and if not, he will call you back. I am an elderly woman and don't like many people in my home, but I definitely trust Glenn. He is very responsible, dependable, honest, and does a great quality work.
Description of Work: I had him out to repair a hot water line to my washer that a mouse had chewed a hole through.

When I called Glen and told him my washing machine was sometimes not going thru the rinse and spin cycles, he said it was probably the timer. He came over immediately and ran the machine and confirmed the problem was the timer. He gave me an estimate of $225. He called a few days later and said he had found the part a little cheaper but that it would take a few more days to be delivered. He said the new estimate was $200. He told me to go ahead and be using the machine and if it messed up to call him and he would come immediately to get it to go to the rinse cycle. I was able to do several loads without a problem. When the timer came in he called and asked me when I would like him to come and install it. I asked if he could come on Saturday and he did. He quickly installed the new timer and let me know it had a one year warranty. He charged me $175. With the $35 charge for the initial visit and diagnosis, the total was $210.

We woke up to find our dryer was not working right before church on Sunday morning. After we called our regular repairman and left a message with a promise of return call on Monday between 8 am to 5 pm. I had a 2 loads of laundry that needed to be dried. I search angieslist and found that Glenn' appliance had received several A ratings. I called and was surprise to get someone on the phone. I spoke with Glenn and he said he would be happy to come over and check the dryer. He was here in 20 minutes and had diagnosis ed repaired the dryer with in an hour. He was prompt,kind, and professional. WE ARE VERY VERY HAPPY!! We can recommend this gentleman and his company without any reservations!!!

It went as well as it could have. He came to fix our dishwasher but left fixing our dryer.
Description of Work: Glenn was a very kind, professional man who is very experienced. He came to fix our dishwasher but due to a poor renovation job by the previous owners, he wasn't able to get the dishwasher out. However, I told him about our dryer that had been burning our clothes and he stayed an extra 30 minutes to repair that. I would definitely recommend Glenn and his services!

As I stated above, Glenn has worked on all of our appliances over the past 20 years and we have never had to call him back to redo anything. He always fixed whatever was broken in one visit. My family has always found Glenn to be a pleasure to be around.
Description of Work: Glenn has worked on our washer, dryer, stove, range, refrigerator, and dishwasher over the past 20 years. When we have a problem, we call him and tell him over the phone the symptoms. He says he'll be over right away. He is so qualified, he knows exactly what parts to bring and brings them with him then. There is no delay or waiting. We have never had a challenge with his prices. They are certainly reasonable for a professional job.

We were extremely pleased with the service that Glenn and his son provided on our Washing Machine. As my husband said, " It was so wonderful to see a man so committed, knowledgeable, and committed to doing a great job at a fair price!" They are very knowledgeable of machines of every model and the parts required by each. They were able to diagnose the problem over the phone and they fixed the machine within two days....that's a record in my book. They were on time and even called me to say that they were coming. They were honest in their assessment and only made promises that could be kept. Furthermore, their price was very fair. I will definitely use them when I need my next repair.

Description of Work: I have a Whirlpool Cabrio washing machine that has had an electronic malfunction for over a year, it bagan leaking. I called Glenns and they were here the same day and picked it up. He called the next day with the estimate and a choice of options for repair. It was returned to me the following day in perfect working condition. $500 may sound like a lot for a washer repair but this machine cost over $1000 and was broken within 12 months after purchase,

My washer didn't rinse and stopped with the water sitting in the machine, so I called him this mornning (Sunday !!) after reading reviews on Angie's List. Glen answered the phone right away and diagnosed the problem on the phone (lid switch off) and promised to come within an hour. I had called another person on the List first, but he couldn't come until later next week, so I decided to work with him. By the way, both men had the same diagnosis, but Glen's price was $20 lower than the other man. He was courteous to call me when he was running a little late. He came shortly after and put a new a lid switch as he predicted. So now the washer was able to rinse and spin. Then I put half of the load I had taken out back in the machine and tried to rinse, but it stopped again, so I ran to him who was about to leave in his car. He came inside and worked with the knot again, waiting for a rinse and spin cycle to complete. After all, it worked. After he left, I've been washing a new load of laundry successfully. I'm glad I don't have to buy a new washer. I'm pleased it was fixed today, the same day I called, especially on Sunday. On a side note, I asked for another repair work with my dishwasher. He looked at it and said he could put a new hose. He wrote down the model number and said he would call me tomomrrow for the repair job with a new hose. Hope it will go well, too.
