Kinfolk Troubleshooting
Company Overview
Our goal at Kinfolk Troubleshooting is to meet and go beyond your plumbing, HVAC, and electrical expectations. As our name implies, we specialize in troubleshooting. We confront tough problems directly and relish the challenge of not just fixing a problem, but also uncovering the underlying cause of the failure. After we identify the cause, we can help you avoid future issues by establishing preventive measures.
We established Kinfolk Troubleshooting in 2021.
We offer a unique skill set in both residential and commercial sectors. Our background includes over 15 years in the oil and gas sector worldwide and 3 years in manufacturing, giving us exposure to a wide array of electrical and mechanical applications. I look forward to serving our community for many years ahead.
I am thrilled about this new journey, a chance to learn and develop professionally. I strive to bring adaptability and a strong work ethic to a diverse community with various needs. I aspire to provide services in the New Orleans region that are either scarce or urgently required due to a lack of resources. I particularly enjoy tackling challenging jobs that enable me to solve problems and bring satisfaction to the customer. I find satisfaction in implementing safeguards or guiding customers in building a preventive routine to eliminate future worries. If you need your water-cooled condenser serviced, have a motor control center issue to fix, want maintenance plans for your commercial dishwasher, or need a 30-horsepower motor replaced, simply reach out with one call. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Not insured. Said he could make the repair. Which so can I. But I need someone licenced State and City to approve and call Entergy to reconnect.

The service I experienced from Justin was a horrible experience.
The price he quoted on Yelp to perform the job was a price range of $175.00 - $255.00. When he completed his diagnosis he charged me $530.40. When I asked about the excessive amount I was being charged he said he charges $75 for having to travel outside of a one mile radius of his home as well as an additional $75 for traveling to Slidell, and another charge of $80 an hour. He was completely dishonest because the initial charge was a range of no less than $175, no more than $255. He could never explain why he did not provide the travel charges and hourly charge prior to coming out to do the job. I explained to him if he had informed me of his charges I would have never hired him. I hired him based on the fact that he was going to charge no less than $175 and no more than $255. He agreed that he charged more than he said he would but only refunded a portion of what he overcharged. To add to this disastrous experience he charged an additional fee for document preparation; however, he still has not delivered the detailed document he agreed to provide prior to him starting the job. The document that he did provide was very inconsistent with the verbal explanation and diagnosis he reported while onsite. When asked about providing the document he was paid for he then stated, ""I would be remiss to provide you with an estimate to complete work that I have no intention of taking on. ""

Nice work. Needed thermostat replaced. Live in Houston. Justin was able to fix the problem and get the system working, so it was good to go when we got to New Orleans.

Hard to put into words how wonderful Justin is. Honest, brilliant, outstanding communicator and the best most efficient problem solver we have ever seen.
We had numerous people look at our malfunctioning washing machine and we were just about to replace it when we learned about Justin. He was able to problem solve and fix the problem. The appliance still runs perfectly 4 months after his fix. Subsequently we had an old furnace problem that Justin was able to again efficiently figure out the problem and repair it expeditiously. He was happy to go out to pick up an uncommon part and returned promptly to finish the repair.
We had a new unrelated old furnace issue a few months later and with visitors at our home needed an urgent repair. Justin made sure to come by that same morning and after safely climbing on the roof repaired the furnace to perfect working condition.
Justin is not inexpensive but very fairly priced. He is so efficient that the cost of repairs is less than the ""other guys""
We trust Justin which means a great deal to us. Such a nice young man who provides the most exceptional service. Believe us.....you will be equally impressed and satisfied.

Justin is amazing, he has good communication, shows up when he says he will and does a great job with everything. He has installed numerous types of lights, replaced window pains, looked at my dryer that stopped blowing warm air and many other jobs. Every job has been done well and best of all he is honest, if he thinks something is not worth the money he tells me and has never just worked to get my money. I fully trust Justin and recommend him highly.

Excellent service. On time, knowledgeable, and a fair price. I would highly recommend Justin at Kinfolk Troubleshooting.

Polite. Helpful. Knowledgeable. Easy to work with. Ida zapped my AC and he was thorough in troubleshooting and explaining what he was doing during the process. He caught a very important safety issue that the original contractor had neglectfully bypassed a safety on the unit.

In the past I've had bad experiences with contractors in New Orleans, most are unreliable and don't put pride into the work they do. Justin is a genuine angel and the complete opposite of what I've experienced in the past. He is professional and communicative and made sure to come back as many times as it took until the job was completed correctly. He answered any questions that I had with great knowledge and confidence and kept me informed and updated throughout the whole process of repairing my HVAC. I truly appreciate his caring and positive attitude and would 100% recommend kinfolk troubleshooting to anyone who needs their services. Thank you Justin ! :)

I HIGHLY recommend Justin! He is fantastic repairman and just a wonderful person! He is a great communicator, and his rates are so reasonable and he got the part that we needed for our broken dryer in record time. He's an honest and caring person, a hard worker, and a family man. I was so impressed with his knowledge, and thankful that he took the time to explain things, which was above and beyond the job of repairing our dryer. He even showed us how we could reconfigure the drywall in our laundry room to maximize the space. It was like having a family member in our home. You won't regret working with him!

They put in my unit in no time and guilded me along the way, explaining every task that needed to be done and how long it would take. Justin was very helpful and kind. I would suggest him to anyone asking for an electrition. Thank you!
