About La Cornue Repair in San Francisco

A narrow focus on purpose

Most appliance repair covers everything with a plug. We chose a smaller path. Our work is La Cornue cooking equipment in Bay Area homes: Château ranges, CornuFé ranges, rangetops, the ovens inside them, induction modules and the hoods that ventilate them. Keeping the scope small means we learn how these appliances behave, which questions to ask on the phone and what to bring to the door.

Kitchens we are used to

These ranges tend to live in remodelled kitchens. A contractor set the range between custom cabinets, a gas line was run in an older house, a hood was fitted on a long duct, and the whole arrangement has to keep working years later. In the Bay Area that can mean a hillside home with steep stairs, a Victorian with a retrofitted supply, or an estate in the wine country where the nearest neighbour is a vineyard. We plan for access, protect floors, and treat the enamel and brass or chrome trim as something the owner chose carefully.

What we promise

• Diagnosis comes before repair, so you know what is wrong before any part is discussed.
• You receive a written estimate for the work.
• Nothing is repaired without your approval.

We would rather tell you a range is working correctly than invent a repair, and we would rather say a part must be ordered than guess.

Who calls us

Owners are the usual voice on the line, but a good share of requests come from house managers, designers, property caretakers and builders finishing a remodel. If you are acting for someone else, include their name for the visit, the access details and any alarm or gate instructions in your request.

How we work in your home

Expect a technician who asks where to put tools down, covers the floor in front of a heavy range and checks with you before moving anything on the counter. If the range is set into stone or tile, we explain what we need to reach before we reach for it.
