Richmond homes run the gamut, from Point Richmond cottages to newer builds up the hill, and appliances age differently in each one. Salt-tinged bay air is hard on metal. East Bay water leaves scale in valves, heaters, and spray arms. We work on refrigerators, washers, dryers, dryer vents, dishwashers, ovens, and stoves, and we repair all major brands as an independent shop. Tell us what you hear, smell, or see. A humming fridge, a washer stuck mid-cycle, a burner that clicks and clicks. We will sort out the likely cause and plan the visit. Call us or send the quote form.

Richmond appliances live with salt air. Homes near the shoreline in Marina Bay and Point Richmond see rust creep onto dryer drums, washer cabinets and the back panels of refrigerators long before the parts inside quit. We check those spots first, because a corroded terminal can mimic a dead control board. Water here comes off the Mokelumne through EBMUD and runs fairly soft, so we see fewer scaled-up heating elements than we do inland — but a dishwasher that still won't dry usually points at a vent flap or a thermistor, not minerals. Older houses in the Iron Triangle and up the hill toward El Cerrito often run tight laundry closets and shared circuits, so we ask about breakers before we ask about parts. We repair all major brands as an independent shop. Tell us the sound, the smell, or the error code when you call us, and we'll bring likely parts on the first trip.
We cover 94801, 94804, 94805 and 94806, plus nearby San Pablo, El Cerrito, Albany and Pinole.

Call us and we'll give you the next open window, often same week. We route Richmond jobs with the rest of the west county run, so morning and afternoon slots move quickly. Ask us for a heads-up call before the tech leaves.
Yes. Same trucks handle San Pablo, El Cerrito, Albany, Pinole and Hercules, and we reach El Sobrante and Kensington regularly. If you're a little farther out, tell us your cross streets and we'll say plainly whether we can get there.
You approve a written quote before any work starts — visit, parts and labor. No surprises on the invoice.

Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell or see. Odd noise, standing water, no heat. Have the model number handy if you can reach it.
Pick a window that fits your day. We confirm the address and ask a few questions first, so the van carries parts that commonly fail on your machine.
Our technician tests the machine, explains what failed, and lays out the repair options. Many jobs finish the same visit. Special-order parts get scheduled before we leave.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
A part on its way out usually takes something more expensive with it. Getting started takes about a minute.
