Transparent Pricing
Straight Talk on What a Repair Actually Costs
One flat diagnostic fee, published starting points for all twelve services, and a firm number in writing before a single part comes out of the van, no surprises tacked on at the end.
How our pricing is built
Nobody likes calling for a repair and getting a shrug about cost. We keep it simple: a flat diagnostic fee, honest starting points, and a real quote before we touch anything.
Every visit begins with a flat $89 diagnostic service-call fee. That covers a technician driving out to your address, opening the appliance, and running a proper diagnosis instead of a guess, and when you approve the repair, the full $89 is credited toward the job. In practice that means the diagnostic becomes part of the fix rather than an extra line, and you are never paying twice to find out what is wrong.
The starting prices you see below are exactly that, starting points. They reflect the most common, straightforward version of each repair using OEM and genuine manufacturer parts. What we deliberately do not do is quote a firm final total over the phone. A built-in column refrigerator and an undercounter beverage drawer can share a symptom and need wildly different parts and labor, and a gas range that needs altitude orifices for 7,220 feet is a different job than one that just needs an igniter. Guessing high to be safe would be dishonest, and guessing low would leave you feeling misled when reality arrived.
So the final number is set on site, after diagnosis, and given to you in writing before any work starts. You approve it first. Prices are estimates until that point because parts availability, the specific fault, and any altitude or hard-water work genuinely change the total. What stays fixed is the honesty of the process: you always know the diagnostic cost up front, the starting point for your service, and the full price before we begin.
Starting estimates for all twelve services
A flat $89 diagnostic applies to every visit and is credited toward the repair when you proceed. The figures below are starting points using OEM parts; your final, written quote is set on site after diagnosis.
| Service | Starting estimate | What affects the price |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator repair | from $149 | Whether it is a sealed-system fault versus a control board, refrigerant recovery, and the part cost of the specific built-in or column model |
| Freezer repair | from $149 | Defrost-circuit repair versus a sealed-system leak, evaporator access, and whether it is a drawer, upright, or chest unit |
| Ice maker repair | from $129 | Depth of well-water descaling, fill-valve and supply-line work, and whether the module or the full assembly has failed |
| Wine cooler repair | from $139 | Single versus dual-zone design, a compressor versus thermoelectric fault, and gasket or cooling-fan replacement |
| Range repair | from $159 | Number of burners needing altitude orifices, dual-fuel versus all-gas layout, and igniter, valve, or oven-sensor counts |
| Oven repair | from $149 | Glow-bar versus spark ignition, an element versus control-board fault, recalibration, and wall-oven access |
| Cooktop repair | from $139 | Gas versus induction, cracked-glass replacement, the number of dead zones, and surface element versus board |
| Dishwasher repair | from $129 | Whether the fault is drainage, wash-arm, or a leak, the severity of hard-water scale, and pump or inlet-valve parts |
| Ventilation repair | from $129 | Blower motor versus switch, in-line versus under-cabinet design, exterior duct or roof-cap access, and hood lighting |
| Warming drawer repair | from $119 | Heating element versus thermostat versus control failure, panel-ready trim, and drawer removal |
| Undercounter repair | from $129 | Refrigeration drawer versus beverage center, a sealed-system versus gasket or fan fault, and tight built-in access |
| Coffee system repair | from $139 | Extent of descaling, a brew-group versus heating-element versus grinder fault, and plumbed versus reservoir design |
Why we won't guess a final total on the phone
A firm number you can trust has to come from the actual appliance, not from a script.
On premium appliances the same complaint hides very different repairs. A refrigerator running warm might need a twenty-dollar relay or a full sealed-system job; a slow-preheating oven might want a recalibration or a new control board. Quoting either one blind would be a number pulled from the air. We would rather earn the trip with an honest $89 diagnosis and then hand you a real figure.
That figure is written down and approved by you before we open a single box of parts. Everything runs on OEM and genuine manufacturer components, which on a five-figure appliance is the difference between a repair that lasts and a callback in six months. If a fix isn't worth the money, we tell you plainly. Call (720) 790-9436 with your model and symptom for a starting range, or book online any hour.
What the price does and doesn't include
So there's no ambiguity, here is what is baked into a repair and what can move the number.
- Included: the on-site diagnostic, credited back to you in full when you approve the repair
- Included: skilled labor and a firm written quote handed to you before any work begins
- Included: OEM and genuine manufacturer replacement parts, never generic aftermarket substitutes
- Included: altitude combustion tuning and orifice work when a gas appliance needs it for your elevation
- Varies: the specific failed part and how many are involved, which only a diagnosis reveals
- Varies: the depth of hard-water descaling a dishwasher, ice maker, steam oven, or coffee system needs
- Varies: access difficulty on tightly built-in columns, wall ovens, and panel-ready units
- Never charged: any email fees, hidden trip surcharges beyond the flat diagnostic, or work you did not approve

Quick Answers
How much does appliance repair cost in the Evergreen, CO foothills?
Every visit starts with a flat $89 diagnostic that is credited toward the repair when you proceed. Starting estimates run from $119 for a warming drawer to $159 for a professional range, using OEM parts. The final total is confirmed in writing on site after diagnosis, since parts and the fault vary by model. Call (720) 790-9436.
What is the $89 service-call fee, and is it extra?
It is a flat diagnostic fee that covers driving out and fully diagnosing the appliance. It is not a throwaway charge: when you approve the repair, the entire $89 is credited toward the job, so it becomes part of the fix rather than an add-on.
Why won't you quote a firm final price over the phone?
Because the same symptom can mean very different repairs on a high-end appliance, and an honest number has to come from an actual diagnosis. We give you a starting range by phone, then a firm written quote on site that you approve before any work begins. Prices are estimates until that point.

What Our Mountain Neighbors Say
★★★★★We moved into a new build at 8,200 feet above Conifer and the range never looked right — orange, lazy flames on every burner from the first week. Nobody had converted it for this elevation when it was installed, and the technician fitted the correct orifices and rechecked each burner before he left. Two other companies would not even drive out this far to look at it. I would rather not think about how many months we cooked on it that way.
★★★★★A thunderstorm surge back in July killed the compressor relay in our Sub-Zero and by morning nothing inside was cold. I called four places; three could not get a van up the hill on short notice and one offered me the following week. These people came the same day, replaced the relay, and stayed until the box was pulling temperature again.
★★★★★Every glass came out of our Bosch with a chalky white haze on it and we had been fighting it for the better part of a year. Our well water in Kittredge is about as hard as it gets, so he corrected the softener settings and replaced the rinse-aid dispenser, which had quit releasing anything at all. That was the whole problem. Two people had looked at that machine before and neither worked out what our water was doing to it.
★★★★★The convection fan in our Viking double wall oven groaned for a couple of weeks and then stopped turning altogether. Rather than order the motor and put us off until the following week, he brought the genuine Viking part up the Genesee ridge with him and fitted it that afternoon. It runs quietly and bakes evenly on both racks again.
★★★★★Two winters on Clear Creek well water and the built-in Miele started throwing pressure faults most mornings. The brew unit came apart and got rebuilt, the boiler was descaled properly, and he wrote down which filter cartridge we should actually be running at this elevation — something nobody had ever bothered to tell us. It pulls a clean shot again and has not faulted since.
★★★★Condensation was running down the inside of the glass on our wine cellar unit and collecting along the bottom seal; the door heater had failed. A late spring snow closed the road and our visit slipped four days, which is hard to hold against anyone up here — but it was still four days of watching water run down the door. When they did get out to Bailey the work was quick, the price was what we were told it would be, and the glass has stayed dry ever since.
