Amy B.

I went to Bray&Scarff based on positive reviews and the fact that they had their own installers and service techs, which was appealing to me. I got the dishwasher, but ended up with no install or service package. Overall - 1. I made an appointment like they recommended on the website to shop, but the sales team didn't check my name and seemed surprised that I was there since someone else walked in looking for a dishwasher before I did. I didn't understand the point of making an appointment. 2. My sales rep (Stacey) had enough knowledge for me to make a decision that I felt good about. She told me the installers would need about 34" to install the dishwasher. I had my husband measure at home and send photos, which I showed to Stacey and was told that there was enough space to install it. I moved forward and purchased the dishwasher, installation and 5 year service plan. 3. When the installer came a week later, he looked at our space and said he didn't have enough room to get the appliance in and that we would have to raise our cabinets/counter 1/4 of an inch in order for him to install it. He left and said he has his son's birthday party to go to. 4. I emailed my sales rep, who told me the installers are very strict about needing 34" to install a GE dishwasher. I mentioned that I showed her pictures of our measurements ahead of time and she assured me it would work, otherwise, why would I have purchased the appliance? Instead, she told me I can look at an ADA dishwasher or another brand IF they don't need 34'" for installation. 5. I hired my own installer, who told me he could install the appliance no problem, and according to the GE manual, we did not need 34 inches for installation as B&S told me 6. I cancelled installation AND the 5 year service plan from B & S since the store said they would not service the washer if there was not 34" clearance. When I cancelled the service plan, my sales rep told me, "Well, we wouldn't have had any of our guys service in your area anyway. It would have been whatever the plan could find to come out to your area." It's interesting that wasn't disclosed ahead of time. 7. When the dishwasher was delivered the second time, it was scheduled for 1-5pm in the afternoon as confirmed in my email and text message. On the day of delivery, I received a voicemail at 7:30am that he would be there by 9am, which was not the time I confirmed. I had a medical appointment in the morning and couldn't stay home in the morning. I wasn't able to reach anyone at the local store, the website, or the national line to let them know the delivery time is incorrect and wouldn't work. I emailed the sales rep before her shift started to tell her of the mix-up. 8. The delivery guy came at 9am and called me because I wasn't home. I explained he came at the wrong time, and so he came back at 5:00 that afternoon. 9. When he delivered the machine, he stated again that there is no way we can get the dishwasher in without raising the cabinets, cutting the old one into pieces to get out, and cutting our new floor. He also told us the sales rep should not have told me they can install it based on my measurements, and I should have paid $75 for a pre-inspection where the installers could verify if they can make it work so he would not have to waste gas or his time. Again, I didn't know this was an option and it was not offered to me at the store 7. My own installer was able to get the dishwasher in by himself, no problems at all, and he did NOT need to cut the floor, raise the counters or the cabinets to do so. I was looking for an appliance with installation and service package, and I certainly didn't get installation or a service package, and the whole ordeal took me 3 weeks to resolve with my OWN installer. I would will not be returning to B & S if I ever need another appliance.

Whirlpool appliances looking great!

We were comparison shopping for kitchen appliances including refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher; these to be used in an upcoming kitchen remodel several months down the road. Found an excellent price at the Frederick, Md. store and shopping in an uncrowded showroom on Sundays was helpful. The delivery needed to be timed between demolition/cabinet installation tasks, which Bray & Scarff managed along with appliance hookups that Countertop Solutions did the prep work on. Removal of the old appliances also went smoothly. The only complaint is that a credit line I established as a backup payment source was used, even though we paid in cash a month earlier. We have had to go through the lender's dispute resolution process to get this reversed. Would be four or even four-and-a-half stars if not for this. [Update 7/22/19 -- the lender contacted me to say that Bray & Scarff had issued a credit to the loan account, zeroing out the balance. That was good news indeed! Score updated.]

Damaged door to laundry nook from dolly.

My experiences with Bray and Scarff have been less than desirable. We purchased a GE washer/dryer from them in September 2021 to be delivered when we moved into our new home mid October 2021. The sales person promised white-glove service. She raved about how they are a family owned local business with excellent customer service and white-glove delivery. Great! We like to support local business and that sold us over buying at a chain like Home Depot or Best Buy. That's where the good experience ended. The first installation team's truck broke down and they arrived 5 hours past the window of time they scheduled. There was very poor communication on my new window of time so I sat in an empty house ALL day waiting for the installers. The installers that finally came to my house entered my home with disgustingly dirty shoes. Mind you, my home was completely brand new, empty, and my own family had not yet stayed a night in it. The installer refused to take his shoes off and said his company did not use booties. The installer's hands were so dirty he literally left hand prints on my walls when he touched them. We had not even moved into the house yet and I was not thrilled about how dirty this installer was, but whatever, right? Just install my washer and dryer, please. He took one look at the polymer push-fit outlet box the builder used and he refused to install it. He said my house was "shitty" and the builder cut corners by using "shitty" products. He told me I would need to replace the unit to brass and he would not install my washer unless I did so. He had his manager on speaker phone who was also saying my builder used "shitty" products and they were not installing unless I replaced them with brass. So, I should void my 2 year builder warranty on my brand new home because you want to install only on brass pipes???? I literally lost my mind. I had not even moved into my home yet and other people were calling my brand new home in Urbana "shitty". Super unprofessional to say this outloud, even if in your head you think Ryan Homes is a shitty builder. I spoke with a manager at Bray and Scarff after this experience. He said he would send another team out to install my washer/dryer. He promised to make this situation right. He said I would need to sign a "waiver" because they do not like to install on the polymer push-fit outlet box that builders are now using (for the last 5 years Ryan Homes has been using this box). So you are telling me you are requiring 3,000 homeowners who are purchasing new homes in 2021 from builders in Urbana to sign waivers on their washer box instead of teaching your installers how to install washers on these newer polymer boxes? The manager also said his installers do not wear booties because they are dangerous to their installers when moving heavy equipment. I want to note that the movers who moved my furniture placed protective cardboard and plastic sheets on my floors to protect them from damage, the furniture delivery team that brought my 3 sofas wore booties AND the Best Buy technicians wore booties when they delivered and installed our TV's/wall mounts. They had on industrial type booties with grippers on the bottom. Also, the person who is installing our blinds took his shoes off when entering my home (without me asking) to measure for our blinds. Bray and Scarff was the only company that refused to wear booties or take off their shoes and the only company whose installers arrived filthy. The 2nd Bray and Scarff installation team had no idea about my experience with the first delivery team. So, there was no communication about using kid-gloves to make an unhappy customer THRILLED with her second experience with Bray and Scarff. This team left packing material all over my yard and in my garage when they left. I asked them repeatedly if we should take off the doors to my laundry nook to prevent damage and they said no, they were professionals. They damaged my stairs with the nuts and bolts on their dolly and were SUPER quick to tell me they did not do it, that it was there before. I know this is untrue because they were LITERALLY the only ones to use a dolly in my house. The movers carried furniture on their backs up my house and did not use a dolly. The installers also damaged my laundry room nook doors with the dolly. I waited 3 weeks to write this review to see if Bray and Scarff would follow up on my experience with them. The movers, the Best Buy Geek Squad AND the furniture delivery company ALL followed up with personal phone calls to see how my service was, but not Bray and Scarff. The disconnect of communication between their delivery team and their sales team is astonishing. The lack of customer service and taking responsibility for damage in customers' homes is astonishing.

I will never use them nor would I recommend them to anyone. I contacted them via Yelp messages…read more Knowing exactly what I need to repair the oven part of my gas range. I needed an igniter. So he comes and charges $99. And it would go towards the repair if decided to move forward. He comes and takes about 5-10 minutes and tells me it is the igniter and it would be $347. for total. I already had done my research and know that the part is $35 and I could pickup from a local appliance part store in Montgomery County. Or order directly from Whirlpool for under $50. So when I asked him how much is the part, He said $149. Then I asked him if he had the igniter already or would he have to order it? He said he's prepared & has it in his box. I had then asked him to see what it looked like. That's when he tells me " I cannot show that to you, I have already told you too much information about it." That's when I put an end to it. I will not put up with shady business people, businesses allowing this. I paid the $99. As first agreed and told him to get out of my house. He is an older man that needs to realize that people ( no matter the gender or race of their clients, potential and now-Never). Do not assume that the general public do not research before they reach out to you from online!!!!! The only good thing I will add: The early on communicating about eta arrival. That is the only thing he was good about. And he used my paper towel on the counter, and left the dirty used ones on my counter. The nerve! I would have NO stars, if allowed. So this is the only reason why it has a one. I shouldn't have even paid the $99. In my opinion due to the whole dishonesty. But he was in my house already.

I made the appointment, Clovis arrived on the day/time as promised and he identified the problem. Replacement of the connector was done and the control panel was also ordered and replaced a week later on the day and time as promised. The quality, efficiency, and on time delivery of service and parts was excellent. Cost was reasonable and with no up charges. I highly recommend Dr.Appliance and Clovis who was an absolute pleasure to deal with. A great value.

I love my new tub and tile. I am likely to hire this company again for my Kitchen remodel after a…read morefew other higher priority jobs are done. Cemil and Henry took very good care of us and setting up the job was easy. A few notes about the kind of work asked for. We needed to replace tub, tile and fix plaster damage on the first floor that was directly under a hole in the old tub. Kitchen and Bath Shop solved these issues and the work was wonderful. The workers gave good expectations on when they would arrive on site. They were very respectful and friendly. They took very good care to protect my home from scuffs. There were maybe two small places where grout/plaster ended up in an unexpected place (near my bathroom doorknob and a small splat on my toilet bowl) however I probably just need a putty knife to sand down remove that. No remodel goes perfectly, there was a snafu with the supplier that ended up with us installing a different color accent tile than originally planned. There was also a delay in getting tile, but in the days of Covid, we were prepared for that. However, the company gave us a discount and did not charge for the plaster repair, which more than made up for the alteration. The more I look at the finished product, the more I am happier with the result. Work took seven days to complete, due to a delay in receiving tile. Cemil did mention that it could be up to two weeks to finish the job, so he set realistic expectations. The workers were very professional. And my family can shower like we live in a hotel.

AVOID: Caught my house on fire…read more Turns out they used unlicensed electrical contractors and didn't pull required permits or get inspections. Per MD State Fire Marshall inspector Patrick McGaha: heated flooring installed by KBS was leaking deadly amounts of voltage under my shower/sink/toilet, and secondly it caught the wiring on fire next to my children's bed due to non-code wiring. KBS owners Paul Panah, Cemil Yilmaz, Henry Yilmaz, and Mahir Zeynalov knowingly put my family in danger as they personally oversaw the construction. The insurance carrier on their contract says they never had a policy, and a valid policy was not provided despite 3 requests. Instead of offering to pay for this to be fixed, they hired a lawyer and cut off communications. Construction with KBS was a disaster. Since KBS hadn't filed permits, they had to hide company vehicles and workers coming and going from our house (this was our first remodel and didn't realize this was strange). KBS had 5 different project managers during the 2 months of construction work, each quit KBS. KBS had 3 unrelated construction crews since they kept quitting too. KBS then made changes to designs that made no sense, like installing a stand alone tub against a wall leaving a 1mm gap instead of a normal wall tub. Cemil Yilmaz tried for 3 weeks to forcefully convince us to accept this tub, making us very uncomfortable with him, despite everyone at KBS stating this was not correct. KBS also installed a heated floor in HALF of the bathroom, and then Cemil attempted to convince us to accept it. Other issues: tile stopped before walls, trim height varies up to 1 inch, wavy walls, faucets had internal damage from install, gouges in tubs, scratches on counters, and cracked cabinets. We made a complaint to KBS Corporate about our experience with Cemil and Henry Yilmaz, so Paul Panah and Mahir Zeynalov personally came out and took ownership over the project. Cemil Yilmaz then began pressuring for early payments, and ultimately overcharged us $2,000 which he did not want to refund. Work was finished but no required permits or inspections happened. Fixing the electrical issues requires the entire bathroom to be removed and redone (since it is under the floor) Multiple quotes at over $80k, and KBS offered me $4500. Expect a similar experience at any KBS since Paul Panah owns them. AVOID.
