"Had a bad experience with this company. Dealt with Harry for the contract and 50% down payment and then was told Joe was doing my project. Oh Joe oh Joe. You can’t make this guy up. The worst case of a pathological liar I’ve ever seen. On the promised day of work nobody would show up. He used every excuse in the book, after about 7 no shows and excuses from worker called out, there is rain in forecast (drizzle at best), the Canadian wild fires, Flu, each time he would sound so genuine, but once the common excuses ran out he would say “I’m coming right now, I’m loading up the bricks in the car as we speak [goes on to tell another worker to load some more bricks in the other truck while I’m on the phone], I cancel my plans and wait… no show. This goes on and on. Then he dumps a pile a of sand on my driveway and that sits for 2 more weeks. Everytime I would call Harry, he would apologize and say I will call him. Was convinced I was scammed with the upfront payment. Threatened to call police on the company. After about 6 weeks past promised day, the work was not very good either. The contract stated polymeric sand would be used to lock pavers. They did not. When I called and showed them pictures they said “oh Joe must have been running low on the polymeric sand, I’ll have him come by tomorrow first thing in the morning and fix that”. I laughed to myself, these guys barely showed up with 50% of payment still with me. How are they showing up after getting paid full. I ended up hiring another company and they locked the pavers and finished the job. If you are not in a rush and don’t care too much about getting the whole work done and good quality, then you can give these guys a try, otherwise don’t be an idiot like me and go read other Yelp reviews."

Kitchen and Bath Works Inc has been owner operated and successfully in business since 1994. Offering a consultative approach and delivering on quality, custom work, our business has been overwhelmingly driven by word of mouth referrals. From start to finish, we stand by our work and our owner is committed to being present on all jobs.
"Lou renovated my kitchen last year and I was completely satisfied. I called him back this summer to gut and remodel my bathroom. He was extremely considerate, and he treated my house as if it were his own. My house is small, and I only have one bathroom. The project took nine days. I was anticipating that there would be a big mess and a huge inconvenience. But even the demo was done very neatly and efficiently. Lou even took the time to re-connect the toilet each night so that I wouldn't be left without. Lou did an amazing job, and it was a pleasure working with him. Once again, I am pleased to recommend Lou for your kitchen or bath project."

Warning signs of compressor failure include unusual operating sounds (clicking, buzzing, or humming), inadequate cooling despite the fan running, excessive heat around the compressor area, and frequent cycling on and off. Your refrigerator might also run continuously without reaching the proper temperature, causing food to spoil quickly. Before concluding it's a compressor issue, verify that your refrigerator has power and the correct temperature settings.
The value proposition depends on several factors. Compressor replacement makes financial sense for refrigerators under seven to 10 years old, especially premium models or those still under warranty. For units approaching or exceeding their expected 12 to 15-year lifespan, or when repair costs approach half the price of a new refrigerator, replacing the entire appliance offers better long-term value.
Refrigerator compressors function effectively for eight to 15 years, though this varies based on usage patterns, maintenance regularity, and manufacturing quality. Environmental factors like ambient temperature, power supply stability, and ventilation also impact longevity. Regular maintenance practices—including coil cleaning, ensuring adequate airflow around the unit, and avoiding overfilling—can significantly extend compressor life.
Refrigerator compressor replacement should be performed exclusively by EPA-certified professionals. The process involves handling refrigerant, which requires special licensing, training, and equipment to manage safely and legally. Amateur attempts risk environmentally harmful refrigerant leaks, component damage, warranty voiding, and potential safety hazards. The specialized tools and expertise required make this repair particularly unsuitable for DIY efforts.
