Best Appliance Installation in Detroit MI

I highly recommend Sanch Homes Services. I contracted with the company to do deck repairs. They were responsive to my request for a quote and did excellent work at an extremely fair price. I plan to use the company again in the coming year for additional home improvement projects.

It saddens me to be giving this company a 2-star rating. This was my experience.
I needed an electrician to remove a wall fan, venting my kitchen to the outside. I yelped an electrician, and got 5 added quotes from Yelp. Darin, the owner of Burton HVAC, was the very first response, and he gave me a low-ball quote of $85 fixed rate.
Well, they weren't rated on yelp, and had zero reviews. Their page said they had been in business for 19 years, and had electricians on staff, among others, so I decided to try googling the company to see if I could find anything else out about them. They had 5 5-star ratings on google. This being said, I assumed they were trying to increase their presence on yelp, by taking a loss on a few projects in order to get some 5-star reviews here. So, I decided to give them a try.
I called the number given in Darin's response, only to be met with Hello. It took me aback, and I had to ask twice if I was reaching Burton HVAC. I was, and Darin said he could come straight over! Unfortunately, it was a Wednesday or Thursday when I called, and I told him I would not be available until the following week. He could choose his date and time to visit, but it couldn't be Monday. Darin told me Tuesday at 1pm would work for him, so I put his visit on my calendar. He also asked me to text him my name, address, and the time and date of the appointment so he could add it to his calendar later.
On Monday, I received an invoice via text for the services he was going to provide. I've never been billed before meeting the service provider before. And on Tuesday at 11:47am, I received a text message saying that my appointment at 1pm was 'coming up'.
At 1pm, my son took our dog and left the house for an hour trying to get him out of the way during the service call. No one had arrived at that point. At 2pm, my son came home from lunch with our dog, and was surprised to see the fan still in the wall. I had not received a phone call or any communication from Burton HVAC at this point.
I texted Darin and said Weren't you supposed to be at my house at 1pm today? His response was Yes I was sending a technician your way and he should have been there at 1:00, let me see what's going on.
Darin called me 10 minutes later to tell me his technician was working on a job that was running over, and he still needed to do another job after that before he could see me! He then stated that he would just come over himself to do the work. I said that would be fine, and then he told me that it would be another 2 to 4 hours before he could make it to my house. I clarified with him that it meant he would be arriving at my house sometime between 4pm and 6pm. Darin then asked if I would like to be kept in the loop, and I told him Yes! Please let me know what is going on.
Well, 4pm came and went, 5pm came and went, and 6pm came and went, and STILL no contact from Darin or anyone at Burton HVAC.
At 6:24pm Darin texted. It read Okay if it's not too late I'll be heading your way. That will put me there at about 7:30
My husband was home, and was definitely not happy with the way things were going, but at that point I just wanted the work done. I was not confident that the guy would be able to be on time on any other day, and I didn't want to waste another 7 or 8 hours waiting again, so I told him We'll be here. And he responded with On my way!
Well, as you can guess, 7:30pm came and went without word from Darin. At 8:04pm, Darin texted I'm about 5 minutes away. He arrived by about 8:15pm... for a 1pm appointment.
Darin and his co-worker were very nice. They were obviously having a long day, but still trying to do the best job they could. I realized after they arrived that (I'm 99.9% sure) neither one of them were electricians.
They worked really hard to remove the fan from the wall of my house. It was in there good. Then, they just cut and capped the live electrical wires and dropped them in the wall of my house! An electrician would have known that doing that is a violation of building codes. My husband knew it, but at the time, I did not.
Anyway, the two gentlemen both worked hard while at my house. The fan is removed. They even put a towel in the hole and taped a bag over the opening to keep bugs, etc. out until we can have the gap sealed properly.
After they left, I returned a microwave cart to the area below the fan, and plugged it into the electrical receptacle there. After their visit, there is now no power to that receptacle. We now need to have another electrician come out to properly remove the electrical wires in the wall and fix the outlet for our microwave.
I feel Darin bit off more than he could chew with my job. He needed to send an electrician & if one wasn't available, he should have rescheduled. Or perhaps he should have never quoted my job in the first place.

I sent them a message on Yelp requesting a quote and mentioned that my dates are flexible. They responded saying we are not available without knowing when my project is due. I sent another message asking them how they could say they're unavailable if they don't know when my project is due and I got the same response. I concluded that they don't need more business.
Update: Responding to the comment from the customer service rep. My final message to this business was that I was willing to start the project a couple weeks later but I never got a response. Not even after I posted this review.

The good: They are good at getting to the house in a timely fashion and they are very punctual.
The bad: They are EXTREMELY expensive. They charge $120/hour PLUS a $70 trip fee, which is outrageous. They also don't expect to get the job done in one trip because they may need parts. That is understandable.
I had 3 things that needed to be done: a kitchen drawer was stuck needed to be put back on its tracks, a dripping handle in the tub needed to fixed and the stopper needed to be fixed as well, and a plunger needed to be put back in the sink.
The sink turned into a debacle because one sink was installed on top of the other -- a fact unknown to me until Stephan tried to fix it. When he was spending too long on this job, I told him it was not that big a deal, but he'd gotten to a point of no return (the sink was leaking) and he actually had to call in his boss to help. They spent several hours on this just to get it back to where they started. Fortunately, they said they did not charge me for the time spent on this part of the project.
Stephan took care of the kitchen drawer in about 15 minutes. He was able to get it out, straighten the rail and put it back in. But, the drawer still makes a scraping noise.
The bathroom handles did, indeed need cartridges. When I sent the video and picture before booking the appointment, the office manager, Cindy, told me that it would probably need a cartridge.
I'm not sure how long Stephan spent with the faucet and stopper, as I'd long lost track by then. But when he left, hot water was pouring from the faucet, even after I turned off the handle in the adjoining closet. The water filled up numerous buckets. After 3 days, I was finally able to get it to stop pouring by using a needle-nosed pliers and leaving it attached to the screw.
When Stephan came back with the parts, he was there for maybe a half hour. I was charged $347.95 for this job: 2 hours of labor + one trip fee. The parts were $37.95. I found this OUTRAGEOUS, as it is nearly 10 times the price of the part. I do appreciate that they didn't charge for 2 trip charges or the time that he spent on the sink, but, given that they knew from the outset what the likely problem was, I find it unconscionable to charge so much. Further, it was $100 more than what they estimated. And adding insult to injury, so to speak, there was dirt in the tub and dirty footprints on my rug!
While I found Stephan pleasant and the company convenient, the next time I need odd jobs done, I will go with someone who is independent and doesn't charge and arm and a leg.

Hoover installed a water heater, Rheem, purchased from Home Depot. I couldn't be more satisfied with the job done from start to finish. Carl C. the installer was top of the line, very knowledgeable and professional.
