Neighbourhoods and ZIP codes
The East Shore runs along the eastern coast of Staten Island, facing the water. It includes beach-side streets, low-lying areas, and homes set back from the shore.
- 10305, Dongan Hills, Midland Beach, and South Beach
- 10306, New Dorp and Oakwood
- 10308, Great Kills
ZIP codes 10305 and 10306 also appear on the Mid-Island page, and 10308 also appears on the South Shore page, because neighbourhood boundaries cross ZIP code lines.
Coastal homes, salt air, and flood risk
The East Shore is the part of Staten Island most exposed to coastal weather. Salt air reaches homes near the water, and it can speed up corrosion on metal parts and vents. Appliances in beach-side houses also face more moisture in the air than homes farther inland.
Flooding is the bigger risk. Low-lying East Shore streets have taken on water during past storms, including Sandy and Ida. Basements are the most affected rooms. Water can damage motors, control boards, wiring, and drains, and the damage is not always visible at once.
A control board that was wet may work for a while, then fail weeks later. A drain pump may clog with silt or debris left behind by flood water. ## What to do after flooding
If your basement has flooded, do not plug in or switch on a wet appliance. Water and electricity are a dangerous mix, and a wet appliance can be unsafe even if it looks dry on the outside.
Once the area is dry, the appliance needs to be checked before it is used again. A check can find water damage to the control board, motor, wiring, or drain, and can tell you whether the appliance is safe to run.
Tell us the height the water reached, if you know it, and which appliances were touched by water.
Basement control boards and drains
Basement appliances on the East Shore often fail at the control board or the drain. Control boards sit low in some washers and dishwashers, and they are sensitive to moisture. A drain pump can clog with sand or silt after flooding, which leaves water in the washer or the dishwasher.
If your appliance is in a basement, mention the stairs, the headroom, and whether the floor is still damp. That detail helps us plan access and the check itself.
What we repair on the East Shore
We focus on major home appliances, for residential use.
- Refrigerators that are warm, leaking, noisy, or freezing food, including the freezer section and the ice maker inside the fridge.
- Washers that will not drain, spin, fill, or start, or that leak, shake, or smell musty, including basement washers.
- Dryers that run but do not heat, take too long, will not start, or make unusual noises.
- Dishwashers that leave water at the bottom, leak, smell, or leave dishes dirty.
- Ovens and stoves that do not heat, heat unevenly, or have burners that will not light.
- Ice makers inside refrigerators that stop making ice, make too little ice, or leak.

How a visit works
When you book, tell us the appliance, its brand and model, the symptom, and your ZIP code. Add any flood history, and whether the appliance is in a basement.
On site, the appliance is checked to find the cause of the fault. You then receive an explanation of what was found and what the repair would involve, before work starts. If a part needs to be ordered, that step is explained at the visit. If the appliance cannot be fixed, that is explained plainly, with the reason.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does appliance repair cost on the East Shore, and what is the diagnostic fee?
The cost depends on the appliance, the fault, and the part needed, so it cannot be quoted from a symptom alone. The diagnostic fee is $80 for standard brands and $95 for elite and premium brands. The visit includes an on-site check, followed by an explanation of the repair and its cost before work starts.
What happens if a part needs to be ordered?
Some faults need a part that is not carried on the visit. In that case, the part is identified from your appliance brand and model, and the order and timing are explained before you decide. Flood damage sometimes needs more than one part.
What if my appliance cannot be fixed?
If the fault cannot be fixed, or the repair does not make sense, the reason is explained in plain language. This is common after serious flood damage, where several parts may be affected. You can then choose whether to replace the appliance.
What warranty do you offer on repairs?
Warranty length is a 90-day parts and labor warranty. Ask at the visit what the warranty covers for your repair, and what to do if the same problem comes back.
I rent my home on the East Shore. Can I book a repair myself?
It depends on your lease and your landlord. In many rentals, the landlord or building manager is responsible for appliance repair and needs to approve the visit. This matters after flooding, since the landlord may also need to check the building. Check your lease first, and tell us who should approve the work and who should be present.
Can I get same-day appliance repair on the East Shore?
Same-day service may be possible, depending on the schedule, your location, and whether the fault can be diagnosed and repaired in one visit. It is not promised for every call. After a storm, demand can be high, so ask what is available for your ZIP code and appliance when you book, and share the symptom so the visit can be planned.
What should I do if I smell gas near my oven or stove?
Stop using the appliance. Do not flip switches or light matches, and do not try to find or fix a leak yourself. If the smell is strong, leave the home and call the gas utility emergency line or 911 from outside. Contact a qualified professional only after the home has been declared safe.
