"We hired Steller Construction and Remodeling LLC to build a deck/Catio in May 2024. Micha (the Owner) was straightforward to work with and reach throughout the process. We are retired and live on a set income. Even though we had some lower estimates from other companies, we felt so confident with Micha's (the owner) ideas that, after looking at other reviews/images of this company, we decided to go with Steller Construction. Micha's team was absolutely amazing !!! Ray, our project's lead employee/carpenter, was very knowledgeable, considerate, and had an unbelievable work ethic! The rest of the team did an awesome job as well. They communicated well throughout the whole job always checking in with us to make sure they were doing what we wanted. They were professional and very polite everyday. At the end of each they completely cleaned up the area. We have worked with one other construction company and a roofing company when we did some remodling on our last home and did not have a good experience with either company. We were very nervous about having to go through another bad experience. We were so pleasantly surprised that Steller Construction turned out to be a great decision! Our deck/catio is beautiful and we love it! If you have any construction/remodeling needs contact Micah at Steller ConstructionI you will not be disappointed!"

On average, modern washers last between 11 and 14 years. If you use your washing machine frequently (more than once a week), you can expect a lifespan closer to 10 years. To extend your machine's life, service it annually, promptly fix minor issues, wash at lower temperatures, use slower spin cycles, and run full loads to reduce wear and energy consumption.
If your washing machine starts making loud noises during the spin cycle, like a rumbling or grinding sound, it's a strong sign that the bearings are worn out. You might also notice excessive movement of the inner drum during spinning, rather than smooth operation. These symptoms indicate it's time to replace the bearings with the help of a professional appliance repair technician.
A water inlet valve controls how much water flows into the tub, and it helps the tub fill up with water. If the valve fails, it can let too much water into the tub, overfilling the machine and causing leaks, or it won't let enough water in, leaving clothes unwashed. The water inlet valve is an essential component of your washing machine, so be sure to schedule a repair service if it shows signs of failure.
Front-loading washers can trap water in the door seal, leading to mold and mildew, which cause a musty odor. Follow these essential steps o prevent the smell:
Leave the door open after washing your clothes.
Remove wet clothes promptly when the cycle ends.
Use the proper amount of high-efficiency (HE) detergent.
When the belt in your washing machine breaks, the tub won't spin. Signs of a broken belt include a tub that doesn't spin during the cycle or clothes that are wetter than usual after spinning. If the belt is slipping but not fully broken, you might hear a squealing sound during spinning. Belts commonly wear out over time due to stretching or tearing from the intense forces during spin cycles.
Plumbers can fix plumbing issues related to your washing machine, like clogged drain pipes or faulty water supply lines. However, for mechanical or electrical problems with the machine itself—such as issues with the motor, drum, or electrical components—it's best to hire an appliance repair technician who specializes in washing machine repairs.
