Wonderful experience with these folks. They took my info and asked about our old stove. They arrived and fixed up the old stove for another year of use; they even showed me how to better maintain it. read more

Finding a reliable and competent repair person to work on an old Wedgewood stove is a rarity. However, I struck gold with John of Lee's Appliance. He has about 40 years experience and worked alongside his father who was also a Wedgewood stove repair person. I've had my early 1950's 30" Wedgewood stove since the mid 1980's. Lately, I've started to improve the old stove. I repainted the stove and oven knobs and had the burner pans re-porcelained and the burner grates re-enameled. The oven door would not close well and the valves were a little tight and through a recommendation from a neighbor, I called Lee's Appliance. They were courteous on the phone and John (the technician) was prompt and efficient. He quickly replaced the oven door spring and took the stove valves apart and regreased them. Both are working like a charm. He certainly knows his old stoves. John apparently repairs other makes of old stoves such as O'Keefe and Merritt. He also does appliance repairs such as dishwashers. In the future, whenever I need an appliance repair person I will call Lee's Appliance first thing. read more

Our management company sent Lee's out to repair our 1950s-era Wedgewood stove (ah, the perks of having an unrenovated kitchen). We weren't home when they came by, but the repair was done as promised, and they also greased the knobs on our range, which had previously been very hard to turn. They also left a nice note saying what work had been done. Can't speak to the price because we didn't pay, but we were very happy with the service. read more

Great pricing. Fast and honest service. Good quality work. A pleasure to work with. John worked on our Wolf stove at half the price of the other guys that up-charge for Wolf brand. He also fixed my cabinets while I wrote him his check. What'a guy! read more

Lee's was recommended to me by a friend that has an apartment building and has used them for years. I needed to get the door to our Occidental oven door repaired. Called and left a message Friday night. Someone called back on Saturday and I was given two choices of appointment times on Monday. Repair guy came out on Monday at the appropriate time (the person staying home waiting for him had to leave at a certain time for work) and got the job done very quickly. He was also able to do a couple of other quick "tune-up" things to the stove AND diagnose another problem that we may want to address later. Additionally, when I talked to the repair guy on the Saturday, I described the problem and asked for a rough estimate. The final bill was very close to the rough phone estimate. Lee's Appliance has been added to my address book as the go-to guys for this kind of work! read more

We have a Wedgewood circa 1950 in San Mateo which had doors barely working, one oven taped shut, and a gas leak. John was on time, knowledgeable, prepared, and in no time flat had the appliance repaired, burners and pilots adjusted, calibrated, and working perfectly... wished we had called him during the last 5 years as the oven slowly broke down. Price was more than fair, and I can't say enough good things about the results. read more

If you have an old stove and need a repaire call Lee's Appliance. John came over, fixed the broken spring on our oven door and then made sure everything was working properly before leaving. The visit was educational, reasonably priced, and most importantly, the stove and oven are working better than ever before. read more

Very knowledgeable about Wedgewood 1953 gas stoves and ovens I'd recommend his service any time!! So grateful for his expertise!!

John know's his stuff! Excellent service at a fair price and a super nice man. Arrived on time and cleaned up after him while teaching me the finer points of my lovely old stove. Wish I could give hime 6 stars. read more

I highly recommend Lee's Appliance. John arrived at my house during the scheduled window and with his face covering. He was able to assess and and fix the problem with my DCS range in less than an hour. He also showed me how to clean out my burners so that they function at full potential. He was very neat and clean while working, and made sure to tidy up after the job. His pricing was also extremely reasonable. Really nice guy. Two thumbs up and 5 stars from me! Don't hesitate to call with your appliance problems! read more

The technician arrived between the scheduled time. He quickly fixed my stove and the door to my stove which wasn't closing very well by replacing the springs. He arrived with his face covering and washed his hands multiple times and wiped down any part of my appliance that he touched. Fair price, quick service, and very approachable. I wouldn't hesitate to use Lee's Appliance again. read more

Very courteous, honest and professional. Sad that should be such a breath of fresh air these days but this company definitely is the real deal. John turned up when he said he would and was very efficient. He does have a real sense of humour! My oven had stopped working quite a while ago but John was able to diagnose an igniter problem right away. This was fixed very promptly and he also changed the igniter that supplied the stove burners at my request. I would recommend Lee's Appliance to anyone. It's a family run business and sounds like it has been around for a long time. Stephanie who answers the phone seemed like a very nice person. Update as of 4/12/2016 - my oven stopped working again and I called John Lee. He arrived on time and replaced my oven igniter. Everything is working perfectly again and I can continue to cook and bake with great happiness. read more

John arrived promptly for my appointment and started in to repairing my oven/broiler. Not content with making them functioning again, he cleaned under the stovetop burners and moved the stove and cleaned behind it. The people in my area of SF have historically recommended John's company and that's why I chose them. I really appreciated the quick and professional work John did. And the process was less $ than I expected. I've already referred him to my sister! A+++ work, John. read more

Our gas stove had some issues with the burners and display. We scheduled an appointment with Lee's Appliances--the woman on the phone very kind! (She is John's wife, this is a real mom-and-pop operation.) When John showed up, he fixed the problematic burner very quickly. What I appreciated most about John was that he was very honest and didn't try to upsell any fixes. We also had issues with our stove's LCD display and another burner, but the bolts on the stove had gotten rusty and were impossible to get through without replacing the whole stovetop. John was very honest about pricing this out and suggested that it would be better to keep the LCD display or wait until we got a new stove. He priced out the repair and I appreciated that he was so honest about it. If you want a friendly and honest appliance repairman, call Lee's! read more

John repaired the knobs on our 1950's Occidental stove today. He did an excellent job, clearly knew the stove, and explained everything as he went along. I feel a lot more confident re-lighting all of the valves now if the gas were turned off. He did a bunch of extras, too, like polishing a piece that shows the griddle flame level (it was covered in crud; we had no idea that was its function), and he fixed a minor issue we had with our dishwasher drain, just because it caught his eye. He didn't upsell us on parts, just a $12 spring for the oven door. He takes cash and check (no credit cards), but that was an easy tradeoff for the service he offered. I'll definitely call him again for appliance repair. read more

Thanks again to John Lee who came out to my house and repaired my old Kitchenaid dushwasher beautifully at the quoted price. It's great to have you to rely on. read more

Wow! What nice, nice, nice people! Stephanie and John could not be more helpful and kind. John answered all my questions from oven, to oven hood, dryer vents, water heater, etc. He thoroughly explained how each worked and how I would service them, if needed. He even called me later with a phone number for a dryer vent wizard. Huge plus for servicing Wolf ovens and oven hoods. I didn't know how difficult it would be to find a person who can work on the brand. I'm super happy to have found these guys. Hopefully, I won't need them again, but if something else does break, I know I'll be in good hands! read more

John's like a mechanic working on a vintage car. He took the time to not only fix the oven in my old, yet stunning Wedgewood, he looked it over entirely and made some good recommendations. He also helped me clean underneath which I thought was going above & beyond.... best service EVER! read more

I got a recommendation from GGMG (Golden Gate Mothers Group) and to be honest, did not "shop around" for the best rate, but called Lee's Appliance once my range was having gas igniting issues. I am very pleased with customer service and our range was fixed in about 1/2 an hour with new parts installed. As of April 2015 I paid about $95 for 1/2 hour of labor plus parts. read more

The pilot light on our 1950's O'Keefe and Merritt stove went out so we took to Yelp to find someone who could fix it. We are SO glad we found John & Stephanie at Lee's Appliance! Stephanie was great on the phone while scheduling the appointment. John was friendly and amiable when he came to our home and went far beyond just fixing the pilot light. He checked, cleaned and fixed several other items in addition to the pilot light. He even "schooled us up" on how to keep things in tip-top shape going forward. We agree with all sentiments expressed in prior 5 star ratings. What a great find. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

My father turned on his range and heard what he called "an explosion!" He opened it and saw a part of one of the switches had blown off.. went on yelp, found Lee's..and boy was glad! although, he didn't have an opening for us until the following week..it was ok as we would cook without using the electricity to light our gas range.. the consult was $90.. he took a look and said we had to replace the switchboard and the burners.. quoted us at $247.96 ($96 (burners) + $30 (switchboard) + 110 (labor) + $11.96 (tax)).. quite expensive, but still cheaper than a whole new range.. he ordered the parts right away and came about two weeks later.. it took him a while to fix it, but he didn't charge us more.. real funny guy..real nice.. I would call him again if needed! read more

I have been using John at Lee's Appliance over the last few years to fix various problems with our stove top and each time I have found him to be outstanding, honest and efficient. He has our best interest in mind - cost effective solutions. I also appreciate that each time, he takes the time to explain how the unit works, why its acting up and what he's going to do to fix it (since I'm totally clueless about stovetops - I just do the cooking!). He REALLY knows a lot about stoves. Highly, highly recommended and extremely dependable. read more

As I prepare to call John again for another issue with one of our appliances, I'm reminded of how long he's been our repair guy. Since 1998, we've used him exclusively to repair our stoves and ovens. First a vintage O'Keefe and Merritt in our first house, and more recently our 50's Wedgewood-Holly built into the kitchen wall of our current house. He's fantastic, knows these old stoves inside and out, and is careful, meticulous and very skilled. Like most other reviews here, I love that he keeps these old stoves running smoothly, but remind everyone that he works on contemporary appliances as well and is just as talented. I have a Westinghouse dishwasher that howls for attention. Not too old, but out of warranty for several yearts now, and next on John's repair list for us. He's great. read more

This review is long overdue and didn't want to skip it because they truly earned 5 stars. We were very pleased and will definitely use him again if we need to do so. I would highly recommend him after our experience. John came out to fix our vintage gas stove. He not only repaired it, he gave me tips on how to properly use the stove and avoid future issues. He was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The repair cost significantly less than a competitive stove repair estimate we received, so I was very glad that we called Lee's repair. - knowledgeable - helpful - fairly priced - great customer service when calling to schedule appt read more

We needed a repair of the top cover of a Wedgewood stove. We had an appointment with another person but he got stuck in traffic and advised by text that he had to cancel. I found Lee's Appliance on Yelp. This is a husband-and-wife business and some of the sweetest people you'll probably ever meet on the phone when you're calling around for a repair. It was a Friday afternoon. John Lee fit in my repair job. He knows Wedgewood stoves "like the back of his hand". I won't spoil his telling of why he knows them so well, but if you have a Wedgewood and need any TLC for it, I would highly recommend John Lee. Really competent, really friendly and he appreciates the value of a Wedgewood stove. Thank you so much John and Stephanie! (I hope I remembered your first names correctly.) read more

John was extremely knowledgeable about the 1950s Wedgewood stove my boyfriend and I acquired in the house we bought. He taught us how to operate the stove and oven pilots, was honest about what needed to be fixed and what didn't on the stove. read more

John did a fabulous job getting our old Wedgewood up an running after the pilot in the oven started to malfunction. He quickly located the problem, fixed the pilot and replaced the thermocouple as some precautionary maintenance. In addition, he tuned the oven thermostat, checked for gas leaks and adjusted a misaligned face plate. Top notch work and great conversation the whole time! read more

My landlord called John to come fix my vintage gas oven, which was not moderating its temperature properly. The thermostat was broken, so he replaced it and also put in a new spring for the door, got everything up and running, and taught me the proper safe way to use the gas oven (as this is my first experience with one). He obviously cares and knows what he's doing, oven has been working great since. He was also just a pleasure to meet and chat with, super nice and personable guy who gives great service. The most positive experience I've had repairing an appliance! read more

John came out to fix our Wolf range. Super nice guy, very professional. Good prices and attentive to quality and detail. VERY high recommendation from me. I will definitely call them again when we need appliance repair work. read more

John was helpful and professional. He helped me understand what a great stove I have in my Okeefe and Merritt. Now it's running smoothly & safely + I know what to do if the gas gets disconnected. Very highly recommended! read more

I would recommend them every chance I have. I'm in the business of selling real estate and our referrals are like gold. So when I recommend someone they are great. This husband and wife team hits the ball out of the park every time. Great job guys!! read more

This guy knows how to run a business! I had a gas smell in my stove upon moving into my new apartment. PG&E came out late at night on Thursday and found there was a leak in the appliance regulator and shut off my gas stove. My landlord called up Lee's the next morning to see if somebody could come over that day to fix it, otherwise I would have to go 3 more days without an oven, since it was a 3 day holiday weekend. Mr. Lee came out within an hour of initially calling because I said I had to leave for work. He came by to pick up my keys so that he could come back later while I was at work and fix my stove. I will recommend Lee's for anybody that needs a gas or electric appliance to be repaired. read more

John agreed to do something that no other appliance repair person would do. He was not afraid to just go for it, yet obviously he had the experience to back up his confidence. We had a difficult time co-ordinating our schedules, but I guess that's because he's in such high demand. It was good to work with John, and I would probably do it again at some point in the future. read more

I have a cheap stove (rental unit) that wasn't getting warm anymore. I had a 4 hour appt window and John arrived mid-way after calling me 4 times because my phone was on vibrate and I didn't hear it. When I called back to say, "yes, I'm here!!" he got right to business. Bing, bang, boom- the heater element was replaced and the stove was hot within seconds. Highly recommend. read more

John showed up on time and fixed myViking oven. He was very helpful overall, he even gave me some good advise on how to clean the oven. I recommend him read more

When I called to make an appointment to have my garbage disposal replaced last week, not only was there a "real" voice on the phone....she made me feel like I was the only customer they had. John came on time after calling and did the job in a professional,clean,timely fashion. We had an interesting conversation during the process and it was like a buddy had stopped over. He didn't even mind my cats help (Sweet Pea),well......too much,lol. I highly recommend this business. read more

I was referred to Lee's by Parkside Appliance (also a great repair service but they don't work on gas ovens). John from Lee's squeezed in a service call to my kitchen on a Friday when he was already fully booked because I had a dinner party on Sunday night that I needed my oven for and I couldn't wait til Monday. Thank you so much John. These guys are great. read more

Thank you John! Service here is fantastic from the lady that answers the phone to John, who comes out to do the repairs. I wish more businesses were like this. read more

Well I read the reviews only after my management company called them. They were right on time and diagnosed the problem with my oven in less then 5 minutes! Even more amazing, they located the part needed and installed it in less then 24 hrs. I believe the receptionist, Stephanie was so helpful and got back to me asap!! 5 stars it is!!! read more

John is the best appliance repairman you can imagine. He is very prompt, incredibly skilled, friendly and trustworthy. For years now, he has kept my old Viking working. When I call, he usually comes the same DAY. Prices are entirely fair, work is quick and correct the first time. Treasure this appliance repairman. read more
