Many of McLean's original mid-century houses in Chesterbrook, Kent Gardens and Salona Village have been replaced by much larger custom homes. Their kitchens run to built-in Sub-Zero or Thermador refrigeration, separate freezer and wine columns, panel-ready dishwashers, double wall ovens paired with a steam or speed oven, and a wide Wolf, Viking or Thermador range under a hood insert. The older houses that remain usually have freestanding appliances, a gas furnace and central air added later.
Several of these built-ins are heavy and have to be slid out of cabinetry for certain repairs, so the model number matters more here than anywhere else we go. On a newer premium oven or refrigerator, check the manufacturer's warranty first; we are an independent repair company, not a factory service center, and a covered repair belongs with the maker's network. For condos on the Tysons side, the concierge or management office may want a certificate of insurance before the visit.
Houses off Georgetown Pike and Dolley Madison Boulevard often sit on long or gated driveways, so a gate code and a note on where to pull in save time. In a condo building, tell us about the loading dock, the service elevator and any contractor hours. If the blower for your hood is in the attic or the air handler is upstairs, say so, since the technician will need access to that space as well.
Premium built-ins often need brand-specific parts, so the more you can send, the more likely the first visit finishes the job.

We do, and most of those buildings follow the same pattern: the concierge or management office wants a certificate of insurance on file, contractors use the service elevator and the loading dock, and work happens within set hours. Send us the building's contact and rules when you book, and we will have the COI sent before the visit. We carry $1 million in general liability, which is what most buildings ask to see.
We repair built-in refrigeration from Sub-Zero, Thermador and similar brands, and Wolf, Viking and Thermador ranges and wall ovens, as independent technicians rather than a factory service center. On a built-in refrigerator the usual jobs are a dusty condenser behind the grille, a rattling evaporator or condenser fan, a scaled inlet valve from Potomac water, and ice maker faults. If the unit is new enough to be under the manufacturer's warranty, use the maker's network first; otherwise call us and send the model number so the right parts come along.
Have the model number ready, and if an oven or microwave is built into a wall cabinet, clear the counter beneath it so a heavy unit can be slid out safely. Empty the island drawer below a cooktop. Leave a smelly front-load washer door open until the visit. Note any service light or code before you clear it. For a condo, confirm the COI has reached the building and that the service elevator is available during the window.
Ask for urgent service for an active leak, including water coming through a ceiling from an upstairs laundry or attic air handler, a burning smell, sparking, a hood blower that hums without spinning, or a built-in refrigerator or freezer column that is warming. If you smell gas around a range or dryer, leave the knobs and the light switches alone, get everyone out, and call Washington Gas or 911 from outside. We are not a 24/7 emergency service, but calls are answered until 10 PM every day and urgent jobs are fitted in as the route allows.
Every Appliance Surgeon 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.
