Later, I had another problem as the fridge started making an odd noise. Initially, Vadym suspected it was the compressor fan, but the issue persisted. This issue had actually been lingering for a long time, I had at least four or five other companies came to diagnose the noise issue, each offering different quick opinions--some barely inspected it and suggested immediate part replacements, others insisted the fridge needed to be pulled out (which is a big job for a built-in unit) and fix from the back of the fridge. But none felt confident, they all rushed to conclusions without a proper diagnosis. Vadym stood out by taking the time. He thoroughly examined the fridge and, when the issue persisted, he consulted his network instead of guessing. Eventually, he figured out the noise was caused by the condenser pipe and water pipe being too close, which caused vibration when the compressor kicked in. In the end, he fixed it. What I truly appreciated was his commitment, he didn't rush to a quick guess; he invested time, asked for input, and returned until it was resolved. I would highly recommend Vadym and Metro Appliance to others.

Heirloom Engravers

After calling 10+ shops in the Bay Area, Heirloom Engravings was the first to say they can do it - and they really delivered. Wade, the Master Engraver, is a true craftsman. He knew the materials inside and out, guided me on the best lettering style, and his workshop reflected someone who genuinely loves what he does. The end result was stunning and I couldn't be happier. I'll absolutely be back and would recommend Wade to anyone looking for quality and exquisite engraving work.

I visited 3 other shops before going with Heirloom and it was a night and day comparison in their favor on expertise, confidence and quality.

The owner, Eduardo, responded immediately to our inquiry on a Saturday night. Eduardo's dedication was apparent right away. The property bond process is not as straightforward as one would hope...it really all depends on the county that you will be working with. What we did not realize when we got started, was that Santa Cruz County is one of the most difficult counties to get a property bond approved in...but Eduardo and his assistant Maria were so invested in helping us, that as difficult and stressful as dealing with Santa Cruz County was, we knew we were not fighting alone...it was very comforting to have Eduardo & Maria's continual support. Our situation turned out to be extremely stressful and probably one of the most difficult cases that Eduardo and Maria have ever dealt with, but they never ever gave up trying to do anything and everything in their power to help us get our loved one released using our property as a bond. Most people do not even know that you can use your property as a bail bond...which in itself is absurd, since it is a law and a right! Eduardo Guilarte has committed himself to getting legislation passed so that this right can be EASILY exercised throughout the entire state of California. Property Bond Service is the premier property bond company...their expertise, commitment, and diligence is truly refreshing in a world where so many people just do not really care about what they are doing. We are so grateful for the service that Eduardo & Maria provided to us, they are real humans with big hearts and we cannot thank them enough for supporting us through it all.
