THE PRACTICE

Six kinds of patient.

Open a machine's chart for its symptoms, its usual diseases and its from-price — every figure covers the examination and the repair labor, with parts always itemized separately.

PATIENT FILES

Start from what it's doing.

The complaints we hear most often get their own working files: causes ranked in order of probability, the self-checks that risk nothing, and the price stated before anyone rings your bell.

HOW A HOUSE CALL RUNS

Examination first. Always.

01
The intake.

Phone or form: the machine, the complaint, the history. The van loads for the likely diagnosis before it leaves Wendell Ave.

02
The exam.

Panels off, meter out, a full working cycle observed where the fault demands it. No part is named before it's measured.

03
The chart.

Finding, prescription and price in writing: from-price for the visit and labor, any part as its own approved line.

04
The treatment.

Most repairs close the same visit from van stock. Warranty terms print on the invoice — paper, not promises.

WHY THE BILL IS SPLIT

Labor is ours. Parts are yours to approve.

Most repair invoices are a mystery novel — trip fee, diagnostic fee, hourly labor, and a parts figure nobody itemized. This practice writes prescriptions instead. The from-price you see on this site is the complete cost of our work: the drive, the examination and every hour of repair labor, whether the cure takes twenty minutes or the whole afternoon. It cannot grow while the machine is apart.

Parts are different, and pretending otherwise is where this trade hides its margins. A part is a real object with a real price, so it appears on your chart as its own written line — named, priced and signed by you before it's fitted. And if the diagnosis says the machine isn't worth treating, you owe $90 for the visit and the professional verdict, which is the whole reason you can trust the verdict.

About a third of repairs in this trade need a part ordered and a second visit to fit it. Ours are priced for that from the start — the return trip rides inside the from-price, never on a new invoice.
THE ROUNDS

Six communities on the visit list.

From Wendell Ave SE the rounds run north around Sinclair Inlet, east to the ferry landings, and south into the valley — one fee schedule for every address.

98366 · 98367 Port Orchard

The home ward — the practice lives on Wendell Ave SE, minutes from most doors.

98310 · 98311 · 98312 Bremerton

Across Sinclair Inlet; basement laundries and rental turnover keep rounds busy.

98353 Manchester

Village rounds east of town — wells, garage fridges and chest-freezer harvests.

98359 Olalla

The rural south: propane ranges, well pressure and planned valley runs.

98386 Southworth

The ferry corner — windows built around sailings, salt air charted honestly.

98383 Silverdale

North rounds through Kitsap's youngest, most electronic appliance stock.

THE DOCTOR ON ROUNDS

House calls, as they actually look.

No stock heroics — panels off, meter out, the day's patients on the bench. This is the work the from-price buys.

Technician checking an ice maker bin on a side-by-side refrigerator during a house call
Technician removing the door of a white dryer in a South Kitsap laundry room
Technician lifting the grates of a gas range during an examination
Technician servicing the freezer drawer of a French-door refrigerator
Technician examining the spray arm and sump of an open dishwasher
Technician holding a washer drain pump at a stacked laundry pair
BOOK A HOUSE CALL

Describe it once. We arrive prepared.

The intake is the first half of the diagnosis — the machine, the complaint and your ZIP decide what rides on the van. A weekday callback confirms your window.

One figure for exam + labor

The from-price covers the visit, the diagnosis and every hour of repair work. It's published before you call.

Parts on their own line

A needed part is written up separately and signed before it's fitted. Stop at the diagnosis instead and $90 is the whole bill.

Describe the patient.

The machine, what it's doing, and how long it's been doing it.

The from-price covers the examination and the repair labor. A needed part is written as its own line for your approval. Stop at the diagnosis: $90 total.

The machine won't diagnose itself.

Call (360) 717-8956 with the complaint — the differential starts on the phone, and the van loads for it.
