2025:
The Founding Year — Hector Ruiz and Danny Gutierrez Lead Platform Launch With 85 and 81 Repairs
Every platform needs its pioneers — the technicians who show up on day one, log the first jobs, and set the benchmarks everyone else will chase. In 2025, that honor belonged to Hector Ruiz and Danny Gutierrez, who turned the platform's inaugural year into a two-man race for repair supremacy.
Hector Ruiz claimed the year's repair crown with 85 repairs spread across 20 categories, from 7 Whirlpool washers to 5 Bosch dishwashers. He also scouted 11 additional units for field intelligence, establishing himself as both volume leader and platform scout. Danny Gutierrez of Home Hire Appliance Repair finished just four jobs behind with 81 repairs, then matched Marco Palacios with a 17-week streak — both techs logged jobs every week from late August through year's end. Palacios himself posted 49 repairs with that same 17-week run, dominating LG washers with 7 repairs and GE dryers with 5 in the platform's second half.
The year's most-logged category turned out to be Samsung refrigerators, which drew 27 total jobs — 16 repairs, 9 inspections, and 2 installs — narrowly edging Whirlpool washers at 26 jobs. Danny Gutierrez commanded the Samsung refrigerator repair lane with 8 jobs, half of the category's 16 total repairs and triple the count of runner-up Hector Ruiz at 2.
But the year's most striking niche story belonged to Aaron Bigelbach of Arrakis Industries, who logged 21 repairs in 2025 and owned the luxury appliance segment from day one. Bigelbach handled 11 of the platform's 14 Sub-Zero refrigerator repairs — no other tech cracked more than 2 — and added 4 Wolf coffee maker jobs to cement his command of high-end equipment.
Whirlpool washers, the year's second-biggest category with 21 repairs, became a three-way battle. Hector Ruiz led with 7 jobs, ahead of Marco Palacios at 4 and Danny Gutierrez at 2. Vasilii Kirillov of SET Appliance posted 32 repairs across 20 categories, including 3 Whirlpool washers and 3 Bosch dishwashers, finishing with a 5-week streak. Ruiz also commanded LG dryers with 7 of the category's 11 repairs — more than triple Marco Palacios's runner-up tally of 2 in a category that logged 17 total jobs. Anthony Moya of Anthony Appliance Repair logged 20 repairs with a lean, no-inspection approach, focusing on Maytag washers and dryers with 3 jobs each.
The platform's most unexpected storyline emerged in field intelligence. Justin Nunn of Consider it Done Appliance Repair logged 71 inspection jobs in 2025 — documenting serial numbers and conditions across 20 categories — alongside 21 repairs. Raj Yadav logged 11 inspection jobs focused on commercial equipment, including 3 Montague ovens and 2 Frymaster fryers, marking the platform's first deep dive into food service intelligence. Across the year, the platform logged 357 repairs, 99 inspections, 34 installations, and 26 maintenance jobs, with inspection work concentrated in Samsung and LG refrigerators.
As the calendar turns, the platform has logged 516 jobs across more than 30 categories. Hector Ruiz and Danny Gutierrez have set the repair pace, Justin Nunn has pioneered the inspection game, and the foundation is poured. Now the question is who shows up to challenge them in 2026.
