Where home appliances sit in Harris County: family houses, built-in and paneled suites, homes that host. [All of Houston](https://appliancemaintenance.center/locations/houston/) ### Family houses Children, pets and sports gear load a family's appliances with hair, grass and mud, which reach refrigerator coils and washer drain filters first, and those are cleaned on each visit. ### Built-in and paneled suites Heavy custom door panels load the hinges of built-in refrigerators and dishwashers over the years, so an upkeep visit checks hinge tension and door alignment, since a door that sags no longer presses its gasket evenly. ### Homes that host Homes that entertain run every appliance at once on a party night, ovens, burners, the ice maker and the dishwasher, and a maintenance visit before the busy season makes sure filters, burners and seals are ready for the load. ## Where we go in Harris County. 15 cities and neighborhoods across Harris County, part of Houston, 10 of them with a page on what that place does to a home appliance. The same visit in each. **15** places covered **5** counties in Houston **10** services [All of Houston](https://appliancemaintenance.center/locations/houston/) ### Bellaire Bellaire was founded in 1908 on former ranch land and incorporated in 1918 with just 200 residents, then grew to more than 10,000 residents by 1950 in the postwar boom. ### Bunker Hill Village German farmers settled the area and ran sawmills before Bunker Hill Village incorporated in December 1954, a move that kept the area outside Houston's city limits. ### Greater Heights The Heights was platted in 1891 by Oscar Martin Carter's Omaha and South Texas Land Company on 1,756 acres, laid out as a streetcar suburb with its own streets, parks, schools and utilities from the start. ### Hunters Creek Village Hunters Creek Village grew out of a German farming settlement with sawmills before incorporating in 1954, a step that kept it outside Houston's city limits. ### Kingwood Kingwood opened its first village in 1971 as a joint venture between King Ranch and Friendswood Development Company, marketed under the slogan "The Livable Forest." ### Memorial Memorial's tall pines and hardwoods shed pollen, needles and leaves all year, and they reach dryer outlets and the grilles of garage freezers and patio refrigerators, so coils and exhaust flaps there are cleared of that debris on every visit. ### Piney Point Village Piney Point Village grew up around a rail station German farmers settled near in 1885, then incorporated as a city in 1955 specifically to keep Houston from annexing the area. ### River Oaks River Oaks houses are often large rebuilds with a main kitchen, a catering kitchen and a laundry upstairs by the bedrooms, and an upstairs washer there has its supply hoses and drain pan checked on every visit, since a leak finds the ceiling below. ### Tanglewood Tanglewood was developed by William Giddings Farrington starting in the 1930s and officially opened in 1949, with its earliest homes built as sprawling one-story Ranch houses on generous lots. ### West University West University's newer two-story houses on narrow lots often put the laundry upstairs and send the dryer exhaust up to the roof, a long run that lint fills in a year, so the duct and roof cap are cleaned there and the hoses behind the washer checked in the same visit. Also covered in Harris County - **Cypress** Cypress stayed ranch and grassland for over a century, with German-settled roads like Huffmeister and Telge dating to the 1840s, before master-planned communities launched in the 1980s and 90s turned it into one of Greater Houston's largest suburbs. - **Greater Uptown** Uptown Houston was still isolated, undeveloped land as late as 1948, and its 901-foot Williams Tower, completed in 1983, marked the peak of a high-rise building boom that gave the district more hotel rooms and retail space than downtown Houston. - **Houston** Houston has taken direct or near-direct hits from seven major hurricanes in the past hundred years, including Hurricane Harvey in 2017, whose record 79.69 inches of rain that year tested housing stock across the entire metro. - **Spring** Spring grew around an 1838 trading post on Spring Creek and became a major rail switchyard by 1910 with its own roundhouse, then saw its population more than double from about 15,000 in 1984 to over 33,000 by 1990 as Houston's suburbs expanded north. - **Tomball** Tomball was renamed in 1907 to honor the attorney who routed a rail line through its downtown, then incorporated in 1933 in time to keep Houston from later annexing it, and its old train depot still stands as a historic landmark downtown. ## A visit in Harris County.
