Questions From Dyess Families
Do you work on base?
We are not a base-contracted vendor. On-base homes are maintained by Dyess Family Homes, so report appliance problems to them first.
Do you offer a military discount?
Yes. Active duty, veterans and Dyess families: mention it when you call and we apply it to the written price.
Can you work around my schedule?
Yes. Early-morning, late-afternoon and Saturday times are available for urgent situations.
Why are my appliances failing faster here?
Mostly the water. It’s harder than at many bases, so scale builds up in valves, pumps and spray arms within a year or two.
