San Felipe was founded in 1824 as the capital of Stephen F. Austin's first colony, on the west bank of the Brazos River. Residents burned the town in 1836 to keep it from the Mexican army, and it was incorporated in 1837.
What we find in San Felipe homes, and how it shapes a Bosch repair here.
San Felipe had 691 residents in 2020. Much of the original townsite became the San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site after the town donated the land in 1940, and today's homes are spread across larger rural lots near the river and along FM 1458.
San Felipe's water supplier is not named in any source we could check. Tell us if your home is on a town connection, a water supply corporation line or a private well, so we can plan for any fill or ice maker problem.
During Harvey in August 2017, Austin County told residents in low areas along the Brazos River, the San Bernard and Mill Creek to move to higher ground. Appliances that stood in floodwater should be inspected before use, since wet wiring and motors are a safety risk.
Homes in San Felipe range from older farmhouses to newer homes on acreage. We service Bosch dishwashers, refrigerators, ranges and laundry pairs, along with freezers and second refrigerators in garages and outbuildings.
San Felipe sits just a few miles from Sealy, and nearly all of the town falls in the Sealy 77474 ZIP code. Visits here are set for the next day, usually in the same trip as Sealy and Frydek.
If an appliance has been wet, from a river flood or a burst pipe, do not plug it back in to test it. Water in a control board, motor or wiring can cause a short or shock. Let us inspect it first. Washers and dryers can sometimes be dried and saved; control boards and insulation that soaked in muddy water often need replacing, and refrigerators may need their insulation checked. We explain what is safe to repair and what is not, with the cost in writing before any work.
Please do not. Water in the motor, wiring or control board can cause a short. Leave it unplugged and let us inspect it; some parts dry out and can be saved, others must be replaced.
Yes. We cover the town and the surrounding rural roads, mostly in the Sealy 77474 ZIP code, with next-day visits on our Austin County route.
Often yes. Many Bosch refrigerators from earlier generations still use parts we can source. We check the cooling system, fans and controls, then tell you plainly whether the repair is worth it.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
