We called James for a washing machine repair in May '15 and a refrigerator malfunction today (July 1). Both times we called for service, he returned our call within 30 minutes! The first call for repair was on a Saturday morning. He was at our house to make the repair immediately! Today's call was early morning and he was there in ten minutes! He's prompt, knowledgeable and fair. His pricing for the visit and labor is reasonable and competitive with larger businesses. We will continue to call on James for future repairs.

McFarlane called me back within 30 minutes of my initial call, which was after hours. He came out the next day. Very courteous and efficient in his work.

Mr. McFarlane called me and came right out the next day. He was courteous and efficient in connecting my water line to my new refrigerator. I would definitely hire him again.

Took more than 5 hours for installing microwave.

Very impressed that someone so young is more than willing to fix our fridge instead of recommending replacement! While he was working on one, I mentioned we were having the same problem with our other fridge. By the time he left, both were working with functioning drain lines, and absolutely no need for replacement. James was confident, knowledgeable, and far less expensive than a new appliance. He's my new Appliance Guy. Not only will I be calling on him for any & all service, but I'll certainly be recommending him to friends and neighbors.

Refrigerator broke down on Saturday, I called around to different stores to try to get a new one delivered. The earliest I could get one was Wednesday. I decided to see about getting the broken one fixed and went online to Home Advisor. I chose Mr McFarlane because he had the highest reviews. Before I had even closed the web page, Mr. McFarlane had called me and made arrangements to come to my house first thing on Monday morning. He arrived, quickly diagnosed the problem and within a short period of time had the refrigerator running soundly. The price of the repair was about 1/3 the price of getting a new one.

Our oven stopped working, Mr McFarlane called us in the morning and came out the same day. He knew just what the problem was and brought the parts he needed to make the repair. Mr McFarlane is a very professional, knowledgeable and personable young man. We would definitely hire him again.

I had a probelm with my washing machine, which is not one of the more common brands. It is a Fisher Paykell. But James knew all about it and went about fixing it, and quickly solved the problem. He also gave me some good tips to prevent the problem from happening again. He also guarentees his work and will come back if the problem should reoccur.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
