A neighborhood coming back
The January 2025 fire changed Pacific Palisades. Many families are rebuilding from the ground up; others have moved back into houses that made it through. On many streets you'll now find both, side by side with lots still waiting their turn.
We're glad to help either way. A new house needs its appliances to work from the first week, and a house that came through often has machines that sat idle, or without power, for a long stretch.
New homes, new appliance packages
A rebuilt home usually gets a full set of appliances at once: built-in refrigeration, a range or wall ovens, a dishwasher and a laundry pair, often linked to an app. New machines can still fail early, and many problems in the first months turn out to be installation details, like a water line kinked behind the fridge or a dishwasher drain hose put in without its high loop.
Before you book, check the manufacturer's warranty. If it covers the fault, the maker's own service is the right first call. If it doesn't, or the coverage has run out, we're happy to take a look.
Houses that came through
If your home sat empty or without power for a while, bring the appliances back gently. Let the fridge run empty for a day and make sure it cools before you restock. Replace its water filter, and throw out the first few batches of ice. Run the dishwasher and the washer once with nothing inside, and watch the hoses for drips.
Fine ash and dust also settle where you can't see them: on the fridge's condenser coils, inside the dryer vent, in the range hood filter. A careful vacuum of the fridge grille and a clean lint path help both machines breathe again.
Canyon roads and construction traffic
Between the canyons and the bluffs, many streets are narrow and winding, and some blocks are busy with trucks and crews. Tell us where a car can park safely, and whether we'll pass a gate or a site entrance on the way to your door.
Closer to the coast, the marine layer keeps the air damp for much of the year. That's easy on gardens and harder on outdoor vent hoods and metal fixtures, so a dryer vent hood that rusted while the house sat empty may need attention before the dryer does.
Appliance notes for Pacific Palisades homes
Refrigerator repair
A built-in fridge pulls air through its grille, and construction dust coats the coils behind it quickly. If it starts running warm, a gentle vacuum of the grille is a sensible first check.
Dishwasher repair
In a brand-new kitchen, a dishwasher that keeps water in the tub can come down to installation, such as a knockout plug left inside a new disposal.
Washer repair
A washer that sat unused for months can come back with stiff hoses and a stale smell. Run one hot cycle without clothes, then check both fill hoses for bulges before the first real load.
Before we come over
- If the appliance is still under the maker's warranty, contact the manufacturer first; it may cover the repair.
- Mention construction on your street or next door, so we can plan the route and parking.
- If you aren't living in the house yet, tell us who will let the technician in.

Questions from Pacific Palisades
My appliances are new. Should I call you or the manufacturer?
Check the maker's warranty first. If it covers the problem, their service is the place to start; if it has expired or doesn't apply, book a visit with us.
Our house sat closed up after the fire. What should we check first?
Start with water and power. Make sure the fridge cools while it's empty, swap its water filter, and run the dishwasher and washer once with nothing inside. If anything leaks, smells of smoke or won't start, book a visit and tell us how long the house was closed.
