"Fausto came on time. He is very friendly and has good customer service skills. He listened while I explained to him all the problems I had with my washer which I bought 19 years ago. He then started checking everything - the motor, drum , and the parts at the back of the washer before running the diagnostic test. However, he didn't find any problem. He explained to me the possible cause of the shaking/turning of the washer and turning off to avoid the problems from happening again. I will definitely call him again if i will need repair job for my other appliances in the future and refer him to my neighbors and friends who will need repair jobs."

"Hired Appliance Magician to service a GE Refrigerator that was not cooling properly. The technician", Artem Hxxxxxx, arrive on time and I immediately knew there was a problem as he did NOT speak English - Also, he did not know how to service my refrigerator - He spent 90% of the time on his cell phone getting instructions from his boss - He never checked the diagnostic service codes on my refrigerator and I could not t ask him to check them as we could not communicate. After 45 minutes of removing panels in my fridge and looking at things , he handed me his phone to talk with his boss (who talked in very broken English) who told me my defrost heater was broken and the fridge could be repaired for ;about $750 . My fridge had no frost/ice build-upo on any coils he checked, nor was there any water in the case, which my limited knowledge told me was not compatible with his diagnosis. I feel I was ripped off of the $69 trip charge as nothing was done, Company NOT vetted!!!"

"Stuff happens, and this business knows how to handle it! We had a stain on the ceiling. Ofri from BTB came over and turned on the water from the upstairs bathtub and then the shower stall. The ceiling became moist after the shower was turned on. Ofri then came back with a plumber. He turned on the upstairs bathtub. After they left, water dripped from the ceiling. Ofri had the plumber immediately send over a team for a service call. They broke open a hole in the ceiling and found that a pipe leading to the bathtub was so rusty it had holes. They took videos showing other pipes leading to the bathtub were also very rusty. While the team was still there, Ofri gave us prices, sent over the paperwork and the pipes were replaced within a of couple hours. Fabulous! Ofri had thought it would take a lot longer to complete the plumbing work. Therefore, her pricing did not align with the actual work performed. She brought in Alon, who substantially reduced the price to our satisfaction. Their responsiveness and reasonableness earned them my highest rating. Thank you Ofri, Alon and the BTB team!"

"I had an issue with ice buildup in the freezer which was causing water to flow into the main fridge. I found Jay on Angi and he was very prompt in responding to my inquiry.

"Ryan was perfectly on-time and was a plumbing scholar and a gentleman. We had a simple drain replacement under a new sink.

"A friend referred me to David at Horizon in 2017 when a bathroom renovation/upgrade was required after car accident. His team miraculously converted a 1965 bathroom into a show room design with a beautiful walk-in shower. It’s a challenge with a one-bathroom condo but David & his team made it possible for me to stay in my home the entire time. He was always available by phone/text for even the smallest concern. I reached out to David again this year for repairs due to root damage from common area trees. Most of the damage was at the front of my house but I did ask David to remove the popcorn ceiling in my living/dining rooms where there was a crack in the middle of the condo. To match my new smooth ceiling, the living/dining rooms were painted to give a complete clean look. I purchased my front door which Horizon installed, and David selected the beautiful sliding glass/screen door. I was pleasantly surprised with the new technology and how easily they glide open. The team also replaced the front entry tile which I had previously purchased. Outside, a partial replacement of a fence, demo of old cracked patio, and new cement patio installed. I was told a brush technique was used so I wouldn’t slip if the patio was wet. What great enhancement! They even patched the old stucco and painted. It felt like a new home. Thanks to David and his team for their excellent work! You weren’t just completing a job; you were making a difference in my day-to-day life."

"The remodeling of my guest bath went very smoothly. I had few ideas as to what I wanted, but thanks to Nathan's design help, I was able to select the items that fit my concept. Many reviews talk mainly about the job and the results, but there is one important area that is often neglected: the working crew. Without exception his guys, besides being highly competent, were both respectful and considerate at all times. I strongly recommend this company!"

A standard microwave installation typically takes one to three hours. If additional tasks like installing new electrical outlets or modifying cabinetry are needed, it may take longer, possibly an extra two to three hours or several days for extensive cabinet changes. A professional ensures secure electrical integration and proper appliance performance.
Yes, over-the-range microwaves require venting as they replace a range hood. You have two over-the-range options: a recirculating vent that filters and recirculates air back into the kitchen, or an externally vented microwave that directs air outside through an exhaust duct. When in doubt, talk to your microwave installation pro about the type of venting your system requires.
No, only microwaves specifically designed as over-the-range units should be installed above a stovetop. These models include integrated venting and lighting features necessary for safety and proper ventilation. Using a countertop microwave over a range poses significant hazards due to inadequate ventilation. Your microwave installer can help you choose the right model for your kitchen setup.
It's not recommended to install a countertop microwave into your cabinets. Built-in microwaves are designed with proper venting for adequate airflow. Using a countertop microwave as a built-in unit can block vents, leading to moisture damage and potential fire hazards. Ask your microwave installer about the type of microwave that will work best for the location you have in mind.
