Washers and dryers are usually bought as a pair and tend to wear out on a similar schedule, so it makes sense to find a technician who works on both. We sort the Welcome listings by laundry work first, then by distance and public ratings.

What Welcome Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Welcome most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing. Source: S.C. Code Title 40, Chapter 11 (Contractors), South Carolina Legislature
In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
Questions to Ask a Welcome Technician
- If a part has to be ordered, how soon can you come back to finish?
- Can you give a written estimate before ordering parts?
- What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?
