A separate city at the far west end of our area, with hillside homes, long dryer runs and a very good reason to keep them clean.
Agoura Hills is its own incorporated city in Los Angeles County, not a district of Los Angeles, and it is served by Las Virgenes Municipal Water District rather than LADWP. That matters more than it sounds. The water here is treated differently from the Valley floor supply, and dishwashers and ice makers scale up on a different schedule than they do five miles east.
This is the part worth reading. Long dryer duct runs are common in the hillside houses here, and lint accumulation in a long run is both an efficiency problem and a fire risk. A dryer that used to finish a load in forty five minutes and now takes ninety is not a broken dryer in most cases, it is a blocked vent. Disconnect the duct at the back of the machine and check it before you call anyone. In this corridor, after 2018, that is worth doing twice a year whether the dryer is misbehaving or not.
Old Agoura is equestrian and low density, with outbuildings and second refrigerators in places no manufacturer had in mind. The tracts built through the 1970s and 1980s around Reyes Adobe and Chumash have kitchens that have usually been remodelled once, which produces a common mix: a newer range and dishwasher sitting next to original wiring and an original vent run. We check the installation as well as the appliance, because on a remodel the fault is often in what was left alone.
We tell you the cost of the visit when you call, before anyone comes out, and the price of the repair is agreed with you before any work starts. Nothing is decided after the fact.

Sometimes, but Agoura Hills is the far end of our area. We would rather book you a proper slot than promise a same-day arrival we cannot keep.
