Quality is not what happens when what you do matches your intentions. It is what happens when what you do matches your customers expectations. We provide services from the simplest things to remodeling an entire home.
"This is the second major project I’ve trusted Santana Construction with, and once again, Victor and his crew exceeded every expectation. Most recently, they remodeled my bathroom and handled roof and gutter repairs—everything was done with precision, professionalism, and a real sense of care. Three years ago, Victor saved me from a renovation nightmare after another company botched my kitchen remodel. He and his team stepped in, fixed the damage, and gave me a kitchen I absolutely love. Throughout both projects, Victor guided me through every step, always 100% honest and transparent. Home repairs and remodels can be incredibly stressful—especially in a house built in 1910—but Victor made it feel manageable and even enjoyable. Santana Construction has truly been a blessing to my home. If you want a crew that shows up, stands by their work, and treats your home like their own, look no further."

"We worked with Tyler to finish our attic and remodel our guest bath on the first floor. The work started on time and came in on budget. Tyler was here to introduce us to the crew. We liked the peace of mind the folks Triangle Classic Homes does business with, are partners. They knew them well and we could feel confident of who was coming in to complete the work. The attic is about 500 square feet with a half bath. The molding and bookcases look amazing. The flooring was in quickly and looks beautiful and the bathroom turned out better than we even imagined. The guest bathroom looks like a page from a magazine. The flooring is amazing and the whole project came together seamlessly. Tyler and crew brought our vision to life, while providing quality work and reliability."

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.
