Kenton County is home for us
Our shop, showroom, and parts counter sit at 11 Price Avenue in Erlanger. Kenton County isn't a territory we drive into; it's the county our family has worked in since Steve Niceley started the business out of a one-car garage in the late 1980s, and since Jeff joined in 1994. When a Fort Mitchell homeowner calls about a dead refrigerator, the person answering the phone knows which street you mean.
That matters more than it sounds. Because the trucks start and end the day in Erlanger, Kenton County calls get the tightest scheduling windows we offer, and a technician who needs an unexpected part can often pick it up from our own counter instead of ordering it and coming back next week.
What we see most in Kenton County homes
Kenton County has some of the oldest housing stock in Northern Kentucky, and the repair calls reflect that.
The river cities — Covington, Ludlow, Bromley, Fairview. Older homes with compact kitchens, tight laundry spaces, and appliances that were retrofitted into rooms never designed for them. Common calls: dryers venting through long or crushed duct runs, washers on original drain lines that clog, and undercounter dishwashers wedged into cabinetry that makes a simple pump replacement a careful job. We bring the right tools for tight installs.
The Hill Cities — Fort Mitchell, Fort Wright, Park Hills, Lakeside Park, Crestview Hills, Villa Hills, Crescent Springs, Edgewood. Mid-century and newer homes, often with built-in wall ovens, cooktops, and counter-depth or built-in refrigerators. These units cost real money to replace, so repair-versus-replace math almost always favors repair—and they need a technician who works on built-ins routinely, not one who only handles freestanding units.
The southern and growing areas — Independence, Taylor Mill, Erlanger, Elsmere, Ryland Heights. A mix of 1990s-through-current subdivisions with full-size laundry pairs, side-by-side and French-door refrigerators, and more electronic control boards. Here the calls skew toward ice makers, control panels, and error codes rather than worn belts.
County-wide: hard water. Northern Kentucky water leaves scale on heating elements, dishwasher spray arms, and refrigerator water lines. It's the quiet cause behind many "my dishwasher stopped cleaning" and "my ice maker slowed down" calls.

Kenton County appliance repair FAQs
Do you charge extra to come to my part of Kenton County?
No. Our pricing is the same across the county.
Can you come out the same day?
Often, especially for refrigerators and freezers, where food is at risk. Call early and ask; we'll tell you honestly what's available today.
Should I repair or replace an appliance?
Age, part cost, and whether it's built-in all matter. Built-in wall ovens and counter-depth refrigerators are usually worth repairing. A 15-year-old freestanding unit needing a control board often isn't. We tell you which one you have before you spend anything.
Do you work on the brand I own?
We service all major brands.
Can I just buy the part and do it myself?
Yes. Our parts counter at 11 Price Avenue in Erlanger is open to the public — see our DIY parts page.
