Makes commitments to work specific days, and despite several interem confirmation texts and emails from the customer, does not show up on the day scheduled, and does not give prior notice he doesnt plan to come that day. Mr. Spencer Hill's initial response on yelp was quick. My first impression was that he seemed cleancut and ready to do good work. He came over, handed me a card with email and phone number on it and said he was available Thursday and Friday. I said i would like to book him those days. He would give me an estimate. He sent an estimate. I said yes please. He took several days to get back to me, and then said he no longer could honor those days. He offere me monday. Although i had plan to leave the state, I again said yes please. I was only available to be there that week, and i changed my flight so i could meet him Monday. I sent some follow up messages. I sent a confirmation query the day before. He informed me the morning he was supposed to arrive to work that he couldn't come. Another problem is that he arbitrarilly wants to continue communication through the yelp platform, which is really just for finding businesses and sharing feedback. As a cultural norm, people communicate by phone, text and email for regular communication. It's weird to arbitrarilly move communication back to yelp after making phone/email/text contact. It's very odd to expect someone to use yelp like a texing platform on a continued basis. How would a customer even know to look there for ongoing messgaes? I hire a lot of workers and i have never encountered this before. It's especially odd after meeting in person and handing a customer a business card with a phone number and email on it. A business should take in to account what the customary mode of communication is, especially for the client base it serves. In particular, I feel strung along by this business at a very real cost.

He gave us info on the stove oven operation. He replaced the rollers and seal on the dryer. Then he advised the washer was on borrowed time. His repair estimate would exceed the cost for a replacement washer. We are still using it judiciously. Anthony gave us a recommended vendor who sells repaired kitchen appliances that would suffice to replace the washer at a resonable cost. We reside at seasonal property for 5 months so our desire to keeps repairs and replacment costs to a minimum. Thank you Anthony. You are on my call list when I need you again.

I've had three interactions with this company, none good. The first was a couple of years ago when…read moreKitchenaid sent one of their repairmen out to service my dishwasher, which wasn't cleaning properly. The repairman said something about the pump was made in Mexico when it should have been the one from China -- or maybe vice versa -- and replaced it. It still didn't clean properly, but it seemed better. To be fair, though, this was likely not Penobscot Appliance Repairs' fault -- I think the dishwasher itself is a lemon. Over the intervening time, it's gone downhill to the point that it now puts dirt on glasses that had only water in them. I complained to Kitchenaid, showing them pictures of the dishes, and they sent the same guy out again. This time, I had to offer to loan him a mask to shame him into wearing one inside; he didn't seem to be too fond of that, but I'm not too fond of getting sick, either. After looking the dishwasher over, he reset the controller, but said it was operating as designed. I might have opined a couple of times that it was a piece of crap, then, if that is how it was designed. He, unprompted by any prior comment on any related subject, told me it was "my president's" fault -- that Obama's water regulations were to blame, and that Obama had never done anything good for me. I suggested in defense that perhaps a clean world was better than clean dishes, but tried to steer the conversation back to the actual problem at hand. The dishwasher ran one load of dishes after he left -- leaving crud on the dishes as usual -- then died. Now it doesn't drain, so it can't run. Kitchenaid arranged another service call, on their dime again, to have the guy come back and fix it. After waiting all morning this morning, he didn't show--turns out he'd refused the repair order, I found out from Kitchenaid later. Guess he didn't like wearing a mask? Afraid he'd get Obama-cooties? I really wouldn't recommend this company. Oh, and I went to Lowes and bought a new Bosch dishwasher to replace my 3 or so year old Kitchenaid. Live and learn!
