First of all, the other reviewers are spot on about the exceptional exacting expertise, quality and over-the-top service Joe Oliver and crew bring to their unique business. Joe helped me try to resuscitate a gas stove that was not even a brand he typically works on. The stove in question turned out to not have all original parts and in the end could not be saved. In that painful moment when one realizes one doesn't want to throw good money after bad Joe stepped in with an essentially free bonafide Chambers replacement stove several times more valuable than the stove I had hoped to refurbish. THEN, he travelled 2 hours to install it himself and personally instructed me on the operation and maintenance of the beauty. Like the timeless classic quality of the Chambers stove Joe is a rare find. I have derived as much enjoyment from our interactions as I do the stove itself.

Excellent work on 50+ year old Chambers stove. My parent 90 years old liked him personally and thought his work was great and price was fair. He was on time and just a pleasure to talk with. We consider him a honest repairman and would recommend him to anyone. The 50year old stove works perfect now.

I am the most particular customer ever! Having owned and operated my own company, as a high end specialist, in the trades for 35 years, it's rare I'd even consider writing a review for anyone, much less a no hesitation, glowing review. Joe's the best in all aspects of his operation. He communicates well, does outstanding work and perhaps what impresses me most, if he doesn't know, he'll communicate that instead of making something up! He's a rare breed. I recommend, in the highest manner possible, him without hesitation!

Great work and great service. Joe was able to fix my broken c1950 oven and tune the matching stove. Saved a ton of money and kept the original built in appliances intact.
