Alexandria calls range from Old Town and Parker-Gray rowhouses, where narrow stairs and tight kitchens are common, to condo and apartment buildings in the West End, Potomac Yard and along Eisenhower Avenue, many of which have rules for contractors.
If your building asks for a certificate of insurance (COI), tell us when you book. We carry $1 million in general liability coverage and send a COI naming the building or management company before the visit.
If your building asks for a service-elevator or loading-dock booking, or sets contractor hours, send the rules and we book the window to match. Old Town and several other parts of the city have residential permit parking, so a visitor pass or a note about where to park saves time at the start of the visit.
Send these with your booking so the visit starts on time.

Refrigerators and washers are what Alexandria customers book us for most, followed by dryers and dishwashers. The most common request is a refrigerator that stops cooling while the freezer keeps working. Ice makers that quit, front-load washers leaking at the door or underneath, and dryers that stop mid-cycle or won't start also come up regularly. GE, Kenmore, Frigidaire, Samsung and Whirlpool are the brands we are called for most here.

For appliance repairs, labor is $200 on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote.

We work in condo, apartment and managed buildings in Alexandria. Tell us the building rules when you book: we send a certificate of insurance naming the building or management company and book the visit around service-elevator and contractor-hours rules. Property managers and landlords can book occupied units and turnovers; see appliance repair for property managers.
Clear a path to the appliance, write down any error code before resetting it, and keep pets away from the work area. Have the brand and model number ready if you can find the label, and add parking or access notes when you book.
Ask for the earliest window for an active leak, a burning smell, sparking, overheating, a fridge or freezer that can no longer keep food cold, or anything that feels unsafe to run. If you smell gas, leave the home first and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. For a leak, turning off the water supply valve to the appliance limits the damage until we arrive.
Every repair is covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor, starting the day the repair is finished. The technician explains the terms before the job is complete.
