Burien is mostly mid-century, and that shapes the work. Houses in Gregory Heights, Seahurst and the blocks above Ambaum were built in the fifties and sixties, and their kitchens have been remodeled around modern appliances without the wiring or the openings ever being modernized to match. A range that trips a breaker when the dryer runs is a Burien classic — and it is usually the panel, not the appliance.
Closer to the water, Three Tree Point and Shorewood have larger houses with better kitchens and, frequently, a second refrigerator or freezer in a garage or outbuilding. Those units fail from dust and ambient temperature rather than age, and a fifteen-minute condenser cleaning prevents most of it.
Areas we cover
Seahurst, Three Tree Point, Gregory Heights, Boulevard Park, Shorewood, Salmon Creek, Lake Burien and North Burien.
Getting to your door
The streets down toward the water are narrow and steep with limited turnaround. If your driveway is tight, leave it clear and we will unload directly rather than blocking a neighbour.
What we repair
Refrigerators and freezers, washers and dryers, dishwashers, ranges, cooktops and wall ovens. We service LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, Kenmore and Bosch, and we clean dryer vents as a separate job.
Frequently asked questions
The breaker trips when the oven and dryer run together. Is my oven faulty?
Probably not. In houses of this age the electrical panel usually predates both appliances. We verify the appliance is not drawing excess current, but if the circuit is the limit, that is electrician work and we will say so rather than sell you a part you do not need.
Do you service appliances in a detached garage or shop?
Yes, as long as it is on the property and has power. Those units mostly fail from dust and heat, so condenser cleaning is part of the visit.
How quickly can you reach Burien?
Same-day and next-day windows are usually available. Burien sits between our Seattle and south-end routes, which makes it one of our easier same-day cities.
