“If you want a great communicator and handyman call FixitBay LLC and ask for Andrei. Our building was having issues with a clothes dryer. Andrei was great at providing me scheduling times to choose from and letting me know he was on his way to the building. He ordered parts and then let me know when he would be back to replace. Start to finish it was all done professionally. Thank you!”
“Andrei and his helper are punctual, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We've used their services multiple times and always been satisfied. In fact, I'm about to schedule another service call.”
“Super responsive even checking in daily while our part was in transit. Andrei was quick to come to our house on a weekend for the diagnostic and then came right after the part came to install. He understood we needed our fridge working and was very helpful”

Common Washer Problems
San Francisco laundry setups run from shared hookups in Victorian flats to stacked units squeezed into SoMa loft closets. We repair front-loaders, top-loaders, and compact stackables across the city and work around the tight spaces they live in.
Shared drain lines in older buildings. Many Victorians and Edwardians share drain lines between units, so a slow drain can start next door rather than in your machine. We check whether the fault is the washer or the building's plumbing before we replace anything, which keeps you from paying for the wrong repair.
Stacked and compact units. SoMa lofts, Marina apartments, and Noe Valley flats often run a ventless dryer stacked on a front-load washer. These setups need careful leveling and vibration checks, and we handle the clearance and access they demand.
Hillside water pressure. Pacific Heights, Twin Peaks, and Diamond Heights sit high enough that water pressure drops, which trips fill-cycle errors on newer electronic washers. We check inlet pressure on every call. Most San Francisco washer repairs start from $250 after the $80 diagnostic, which we credit toward the work, and every job carries a 180-day warranty.

Water leaking from washer, puddles forming on floor.

Loud Noises
Banging, grinding, or excessive vibration during cycle.
Not Filling
Water not entering drum, slow fill, or no water flow.
Washer Repair vs. Replacement in San Francisco
Compact and stacked washers are common in SF flats, and getting one out of a tight closet is half the job. Here is how to decide between repair and replacement.
Modern washers are designed to last 10-14 years. A single repair on a younger unit almost always pays for itself.
If the fix is less than half the price of a comparable new machine, repairing is the smarter financial move.
We do not replace drum bearings. Reaching them means splitting the outer tub, and the labor costs more than an older washer is worth.
Hose replacements, pump swaps, and drain cleanouts are affordable fixes that restore full function quickly.
Our honest policy: If our diagnostic shows the repair isn't economically justified - we'll tell you before any work begins. No pressure, no hidden charges beyond the $80 diagnostic fee.
