Best Appliance Repair in New York NY

Here is an update to my original review.  I have written this as a reply to the business owner's response as Yelp does not appear to allow me to reply publicly to the business owner.  As a side note, I am considering lodging a complaint with the Better Business Bureau regarding this incident.

Hitch, as I noted in my initial review, a civilized and normal response to a bounced/bad check should be to reach out to the person who cut the check in order to rectify the problem in a business-like fashion.  Why was I singled out to bear the burden of your mistrust of others?  As you say, you have encountered this issue before with other customers, some of whom I am sure were perfectly honest and were, like me, a victim of a misunderstanding.  Were you as duplicitous with them or did you make an exception for me thinking that I would just roll over and let this go?

You lied to my face about a problem with work that you performed.  You made me anxious about (i) the safety of the people staying in my apartment (which included a 2+ year old child), and (ii) the potential for property damage.  Hopefully you can see how twisted that is.  If not, then I feel sorry for you.

Sure, you do not have the time to wait for a few weeks for a check to clear or go to small claims court.  I understand that as I am a busy man too and I certainly did not have time to waste for you to come to my home under false pretenses.  Do you think that I have ample time to read through fine print that does not constitute a contract that I am (1) agreeing to, or (2) attaching my signature to?

If you were not comfortable with a check or if that was not your preferred payment method, you could have told me while we were conducting business in my home that Venmo, Paypal or credit card were alternative payment options.  The onus is on you (as the business owner) to inform me (your former client) of this.  Why was this not done?  Please do not rely on the fact that you sent me something in writing more than a month ago at this point.  We met face to face to settle payment when the work was done.  This could have easily been avoided if you spoke up.

More importantly, your first instinct should not have been to lie to me.  You have seen the building and the apartment I live in.  Does it look like it belongs to someone who (a) could not afford to pay your fee, or (b) would willfully and intentionally avoid payment for services rendered?  If you had even thought this through for a minute and reflected on our course of dealing, I do not think you would have approached this the way you did.

Lastly, I want to fully acknowledge the fact that you saved me significant cost with respect to my light fixtures.  Thank you for that.  However, I will also say this - cost was never an issue for me and I would have gladly hired you to do more extensive work if it was necessary.  What is important for me is that my home not be a fire hazard and that the lights function properly.  In addition, we agreed on a fee rate for the work done (in your words, let's get this down to the minute) and you wound up overcharging me for the work.  How is that fair or honest?  Again, please do not try to rely on a set of terms that we never agreed to for this work.  Especially when we had reached a hand shake deal on cost during our course of dealing.

I am sorry that things have turned out this way as well, but I have not done anything unconscionable, unethical or dishonest here.  Sadly, I cannot say the same for you.

Klodian and team were great. We had to replace all of our recessed lights and add several new ones on 2 floors. They also added several dimmers and replaced all our switch plates.

They provided great consultation about our options before the job (and actually guided us away from more expensive options) and quickly shared a detailed quote which was very reasonable.

During the job, they put a lot of time into preparing the area to prevent it from getting messy (even wore shoe covers) and ensuring the measurements were precise using laser rules. They got the job fairly quickly (all in 1 day)

They also took all the COVID-19 precautions with masks, etc.

Very professional and great communication.

We couldn't be happier with the work and our new well lit apartment.

Highly recommend them for any electrical work! Will be calling them again for future projects.

I was debating between a 4 and a 5 since I have no one to compare them to.
I called today ( a Sunday) to make a Monday appt. I was so excited when Yoni and his partner said they could be at my house within 20 min and no weekend emergency fees. That was a HUGE plus for me already. They arrived and quickly assessed the problem. I have children and had water leaking through, from outside, an electrical outlet. For 20 years I thought it was a dead outlet. I heard a clicking sound coming from the box and realized there was a live wire in the box. I was beside myself. I was so fearful of having an electrical fire. Yoni took care of the problem and also told me that my electrical breaker box should be changed because the house was so old. There was NO pressure. He just informed me of things he had noticed and offered suggestions. His prices seem really fair and I definitely liked that he was not pushy.  I had no idea who to call and read YELP reviews. I'm not very trusting and always feel I may be getting ripped off. I usually get several estimates. I actually feel confident enough, from just this experience, to recommend Danik to friends. Finally, I have found someone....in the event I need an electrician again.

Ilin did an awesome job hanging several shelves and a large mirror for us.  His pricing is very reasonable and he even helped us put together a dresser without charging us extra.  We will absolutely call him again if we need other handyman services.

Nick did an amazing job.
He came for a consultation the same day we called and returned for the job three days later. He installed our dishwasher very quickly and with minimal disruption even though he had to cut through wood cabinets to fit the dishwasher in. He even recommended we replace a corroded pipe we hadn't noticed and did it for a low price. We asked him to come back to remove old window gates and put in three in-wall ACs a week later. Again, he was very efficient, he got the job done quickly and professionally. Rates are very fair.
Definitely recommend.

What a pleasure to deal with this company.
We needed hardwired smoke detectors replaced in our townhouse, and wanted a dimmer & GFI replaced in the kitchen.
I called KB at 8 am and spoke to Joe who asked for details and offered to send someone the next morning. He gave me a reasonable price range and we set up the appointment. About 10 mins later I got a call offering to send someone within the hour. As I had the day off, I agreed and in 30 mins, Ian showed up.
He was quick, knowledgeable, neat and polite. He finished everything in less than 45 mins, and billed me less than the price I had expected.
If only all companies were such professionals...

We were very happy with our experience with ASAP Solutions from beginning to end. We had to replace a shower body, which can be a difficult job, involving a building water shutdown, breaking a wall and replacing tile. ASAP was very responsive, provided the co-op insurance promptly (thanks to Ming), and completed the job in one day, including providing and installing new tiles that actually matched our existing tile. Toni & Danny did excellent and professional work, and the result was a beautiful upgrade to the bathroom. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome.

Finished installing and bringing up to code an outside light.  First electrician -- Joe Cunningham-- skipped out on me after I paid him in full before he finished the job.  I know ... I'm an idiot.  
A handyman came to my rescue and was very professional and finished the job for a reasonable price within a reasonable time frame.  I passed HOB inspection without a hitch.  
FYI, I'm posting this review almost a year later because I'm back again to look for a plumber!

We needed a GFCI outlet replaced and Moheb was extremely responsive in our communication, was cost competitive and, most importantly, did a high quality job very quickly. He was right on time the day of the job, communicative via text, and in and out in less than 30 minutes. Added benefit is he gave some pointers on a change to our electrical panel we could make long-term to save on electricity costs (just advice, did not push any unwanted services or anything).

Would highly recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work.

I needed a fast response to a problem with my dishwasher which had died. Before meeting Peter, a man of many talents from A1, I'd been told by another dishwasher repairman that there was nothing wrong with the appliance - the problem was electric (the wires leading down to our basement not giving any power to the appliance). I sought highly-rated electricians with quick response times. I called 4 - ONLY A1 (Peter) called me back, and he arrived in short order. He determined quickly that this was not an electrical problem. He turned to the dishwasher. Two connecting wires in the door opener had melted. He did a work-around, and my dishwasher sprung to life. It turns out they do still make 'em like they used to. I highly recommend him.

Installed a window AC. Sturdy and looks great! He was very pleasant and responsive and went above and beyond!

Great service and great work. Very helpful and fair price. Will hire again. Will hire again.

A great resource for your electrical needs. We worked with Sein Me on the installation of 4 ceiling lights in our hallway. Prompt and professional interaction the entire time. We will use again!

I had an excellent experience with Omeshwar.  He was very professional and did a great job installing a number of dimmers throughout my house.  There were a couple complicated issues that arose during the install, and Omeshwar handled them like a pro.  He was also a pleasure to work with, was great at communicating, and was reasonably priced.  Will definitely be going back to him in the future!

They have us a very good price. They came same day. They had the part in stock. They were flexible. They fixed the issue. The price was very reasonable especially for same day. We strongly recommend them.

Ezrick is a 5 star electrician and person. He goes above and beyond to do a great job. He also is easy to schedule with and gets a job done quickly. I highly recommend him.

This guy does all wrong wrong . You will need to hire someone to rd do everything .

I hired him for two projects to change all sub panels . He couldn't even wire the breakers properly .

He also plays a game gives you a price n then says o this is extra .

You clearly know what you need to get the job done . But he will leave things out so he can bill you more

Be aware . Stay clear you will have to do double work

Frontier responded to my message through the Yelp messaging system.

I called and they sent out an electrician very quickly.

Jeff diagnosed the problems, and acquired and installec the replacement parts needed.

Jeff also made some very helpful suggestions which are much appreciated.

I Highly Recommended Frontier for fast, efficient, and friendly service.
