D.C. neighborhoods
Neighborhoods we serve across Washington, DC
These are some of the DC neighborhoods we serve, and each has its own access and parking quirks.
Georgetown and Capitol Hill rowhouses often mean narrow stairs, alley access and compact European appliances fitted into historic kitchens. Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and Shaw mix converted rowhouse condos with newer buildings where freight-elevator scheduling matters. Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights bring older multi-unit buildings with hard-working rental appliances, while Petworth and Brookland calls are often older rowhouses and detached houses, many with basement laundry. Many Navy Yard and NoMa high-rises have stacked laundry and counter-depth refrigeration; Foggy Bottom and Woodley Park add co-op buildings with service-entrance rules; and Chevy Chase D.C. kitchens sometimes have premium built-ins such as Sub-Zero and Wolf.
Street parking, permit zones and building notice rules are part of many DC visits. Include any access notes when you book and the technician arrives prepared. Not sure your block is covered? Call (771) 222-7117 and we will confirm on the spot.

Condos, apartments and managed buildings
Working in DC buildings
Many DC visits are in rowhouses, where stairs and alley access can slow things down, or in condo, co-op and apartment buildings with their own rules for contractors. We plan the visit around those rules so the technician is not held up at the front desk.
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.
Many larger buildings ask contractors to reserve the service elevator or loading dock, and co-op boards may set contractor hours; send those rules and we book the window to match. Much of the District is in residential permit parking zones, so a visitor pass or a note about where to park helps the technician arrive on time.

Requests by neighborhood
Adams Morgan (20009)
Older rowhouse conversions and apartment buildings, often with stacked laundry in a closet.

See dryer repair in Washington, DC, refrigerator repair in Washington, DC and washer repair in Washington, DC.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about repairs in DC
Can I get same-day appliance repair in Washington, DC?
Same-day and next-day appointments are available when the day's route has room. Calling early in the day gives the best chance of a same-day window, and we are open 7 days a week until 10 PM (Sundays from 10 AM).
What appliances do you repair in Washington, DC?
We repair refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, cooktops, microwaves, range hoods and wine coolers, and we also repair HVAC heating and cooling systems. We work on major brands including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, KitchenAid, Miele, Thermador, Viking and Wolf.
How much does appliance repair cost in Washington, DC?
The diagnostic visit is $75 for a single appliance or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. 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. National price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
Can you work in my condo, co-op or apartment building in DC?
We work in condo, co-op, apartment and managed buildings in DC. 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.
What should I prepare before the technician arrives?
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.
When should I ask for urgent repair in Washington, DC?
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.
Are repairs covered by a warranty?
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.
