W. W. Shepperd laid out the town in July 1837, which makes Montgomery older than the county that carries its name. It was the first county seat, and its historic downtown on Highway 105 sits close to the busy western shore of Lake Conroe.
What turns up in Montgomery homes, and how that affects a Thermador repair in this area.
Incorporated in 1848, Montgomery calls itself the birthplace of the Lone Star Flag. Its population tripled between 2010 and 2020, from 621 to 1,948, as new subdivisions rose beside the historic houses near downtown. Lakeside residences and weekend houses fill the countryside around town. Many of them sit along Highway 105.
Groundwater from the Jasper and Catahoula aquifers supplies the City of Montgomery. Outside the city limits, a MUD or a private well may serve the house instead. Either way, our usual checks include scale on dishwasher spray arms and on the inlet valves of ice makers.
A lake house that sits shut for weeks collects humidity indoors, and a refrigerator running in a closed, warm house can hide a weakening fan until the owner returns. After any outage, the freezer deserves a careful look before anyone trusts what is inside.
A lake property often adds a second refrigerator, an ice maker and an outdoor kitchen to the main one. In newer subdivisions, builder appliances give way to dishwashers and slide-in ranges, and Thermador is among the brands we work on.
Montgomery sits on Lake Conroe’s far western side, a good distance beyond I-45 on Highway 105, which is why we schedule it a day out. Gated lake communities need access instructions from you ahead of time, and for weekend homes we can arrange entry through a neighbor or property manager.
Second homes need a little extra care. Before closing up a lake house for several weeks, empty the ice bin so old ice does not fuse into a block, run the dishwasher empty and leave its door slightly open, and switch off any coffee machine at the outlet. When you return after a power cut, check the freezer before trusting its contents, and call us if the ice maker or oven behaves oddly.
Yes, provided someone can let us in or you arrange access. We phone you with the diagnosis and written quote before repairing anything, so you can approve the work from wherever you are.
Typically some ice melted during a power cut or a long idle period and then refroze. Empty the bin and let the machine start over. If blocks keep forming, we test the freezer temperature and the ice maker.
It is one of our farther stops, so visits are booked for the next day with the arrival window confirmed that morning. Calling early in the day gives you the best chance at an earlier slot.
Request a visit online in about a minute or phone our coordinators. Close-in neighborhoods often see a same-day slot; the outer counties usually get the next day across Houston.
