Scratch and Dent Appliances in Summerville
Your First Choice for Scratch and Dent Appliances in Summerville
In a day and age where big box stores sell overpriced appliances to hardworking men and women, droves of Americans are flocking to scratch and dent retailers. At Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair, we understand that money doesn't grow on trees. That's why we offer our customers the largest selection of overstock and scratch and dent appliances in South Carolina.
Finding a reputable, clean discount appliance store can be challenging. Unfortunately, companies in our industry get a bad rap. Sometimes, they earn it with dingy, poorly-lit stores, empty shelves, and mediocre customer service. At Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair, we are proud to give our customers the "big box" structure of major chains mixed with personable service and affordable pricing of a discount appliance business. Our store is clean, our shelves are stocked, and our staff is ready and waiting to exceed your expectations.
The surge in popularity of scratch and dent appliances might be new, but we are far from a "fly by night" appliance store. As a locally owned and operated appliance store, we have worked very hard to build trust with our customers. We have years of experience selling quality scratch and dent appliances in South Carolina, from washers and dryers to outdoor grills and everything in between.

Ask yourself this: Why should you pay top-dollar prices for brand new "in the box" appliances when you can have them out of the box with the same warranty for a significant amount less? When you begin to think about buying scratch and dent appliances in Summerville, it begins to make all the sense in the world.
Don't let the term "scratch and dent" scare you - all of our appliances are high-quality, name-brand products that are in great condition. You won't ever have to worry about an inoperable oven or a faulty dryer when you shop at Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair. Our appliances are all unused and shipped to use straight off the assembly line. That's right - you're paying bottom-of-the-barrel prices for brand new products that your family and friends will love.
You might be asking yourself, "What's the catch?" It might sound too good to be true, but there isn't any catch. Our scratch and dent appliances are sold at deep discounts because a minor cosmetic issue developed somewhere along the line. A few common reasons why appliances are labeled as scratch and dent include:
- The product's external packaging was slightly damaged
- The product has a small scratch that is barely visible
- The product has a slight dent that is hard to see
- The product has a tiny "ding" from being moved around in the warehouse
Unlike some of our competitors, our skilled technicians perform rigorous multi-point examinations on all our appliances. That way, you can rest easy knowing that your out-of-the-box appliance is ready for regular use as soon as it arrives at your home. With a one-year warranty on most scratch and dent items, our customers leave our showroom with a smile on their face knowing their purchase is protected.
And that, in a nutshell, is the Preferred Appliance Sales and Repairs difference: quality appliances, helpful customer service, and real warranties that you can feel good about.
Scratch and Dent Appliances Are They Right for You?
Here's the truth: Nobody wants an old, beat-up appliance with huge dents and scratches. Fortunately, we're not talking about a banged-up dishwasher that barely works. Scratch and dent appliances are just like brand new, except they have a small nick that's barely noticeable. The question is, are you OK with a small dent if it means you could save 25% off your purchase? What about 50% off? If you were to do a Google search on a name-brand appliance and compare its price to the same item in our showroom, you would see just how cost-effective scratch and dent shopping can be.
The majority of our customers are savvy shoppers who don't mind tiny imperfections if it means that they will get a great deal. In many cases, these imperfections are paint-based, which are easily fixed with a little elbow grease. If you're in the market for a fully functional, nearly-new appliance and don't mind a small blemish, buying scratch and dent appliances is a great choice that won't break your bank.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Scratch and Dent Appliances
Appliances can be a big investment, even if you're buying them at significant discounts. Of course, you want to keep your appl ances in good shape, so they continue working properly for years. Once you buy one of our scratch and dent appliances, keep in mind these tips to keep your new merchandise in great working order:
Clean Inside and Out
All appliances need to be cleaned, even washing machines. As an example, cleaning the coils of your new scratch and dent refrigerator will keep it running efficiently.
Only Use Appliances as They Were Intended
If your kids love to play near your appliances, be sure they aren't standing or sitting on them. If you're using a scratch and dent dishwasher or clothes dryer, don't overload them. If your appliance requires specific products, like a high-efficiency laundry detergent, only use the recommended products.
Change filters
You probably know that clothes drying machines have filters that must be changed. However, other appliances like dishwashers and ice makers can also have filters. Read your appliance's manual to see if your product has a filter, and if so, how often it needs to be changed.
Overstock Appliances in Summerville
Much like our scratch and dent merchandise, overstock appliances have become incredibly popular in recent times. While many savvy shoppers already know about the deals associated with overstock items, others hear "overstock appliances" and immediately think something is wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth!
There's a simple explanation for overstock appliances in South Carolina, and it's right in the name. Overstock items are products that manufacturers have made too many of or have a surplus of stock that needs to be sold. This is great news for shoppers who can get new, brand-name appliances at a fraction of their original cost.
There are many reasons why a manufacturer might need to sell their merchandise as overstock:
- A retail store closes its doors, and its appliances and other stock must be liquidated
- A retail store has an item that doesn't sell as well as they had hoped
- The manufacturer or their partners overestimated the amount of stock that they needed
While overstock items are perfectly normal, some customers think they aren't worth purchasing because of a perceived "expiration date." The fact is, overstock and surplus appliances are common in every industry because inventory management isn't an easy job. Sometimes people make errors, but those mistakes can turn into amazing opportunities for high-quality appliances at great prices.
Overstock Appliances Explained
Retailers have to deal with surplus merchandise all the time because older stock must be removed to make room for newer appliances. When a retailer has a surplus of a particular appliance, they will typically reach out to the manufacturer to see if they can return their overstocked appliances. Because these manufacturers charge retailers to restock these surplus items, many retailers choose instead to off-load their stock at a discounted price, and that's where Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair steps in.
The bottom line? Overstock appliances in Summerville are common, brand new, and waiting for you to check out at our showroom. We carry all the major appliance brand names, like Whirlpool, LG, Bosch, Maytag, Kenmore, and even Samsung. Unlike our scratch and dent products, you aren't going to find any minor dings or scratches on our overstock appliances. It sounds too good to be true, but it isn't - when manufacturers make too much, you're in luck.
At Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair, we have a vast selection of overstock appliances for you to choose from, including:
- Microwaves
- Washers
- Dryers
- Refrigerators
- Stoves
- TVs
- Dishwashers
- Much More!
Buy Scratch And Dent Appliances, Help Save The Environment
Buying overstock or scratch and dent appliances in South Carolina is not just a way to get a great deal on a name-brand product - it's also a great way to help protect our environment. As you might have guessed, unused scratch and dent merchandise usually end up in a landfill to sit and rot. When these appliances are brought to landfills, they release toxic greenhouse gases and harmful substances as their chemical and metal composition deteriorate.
When you buy a scratch and dent appliance from Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair, know that you are doing your part to help protect our environment. When you break it down, buying products and appliances that would otherwise go to a landfill is a win-win. You're getting an incredible discount on a high-quality appliance and you're diminishing the harmful greenhouse gases that harm our precious environment.

Summerville residents ‘ghosted’ after paying thousands for a new roof

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCBD) — Several people across the Lowcountry are reporting a similar experience after paying to have their roofs replaced on their homes, handing over the money, and then hearing nothing back.
After a strong storm moved through the area of the summer, homeowners in Summerville were told their roofs were damaged by hail. It came after severe weather moved through Dorchester and Berkeley counties in June, damaging homes, knocking over trees and leaving behind a path of debris.
Ellen Davis said the storm clean-up brought sales representatives from several roofing companies to her door.
“Just wanting to do a free estimate of potential hail damage from the storm,” she explained.
Davis said her roof had other issues and she decided to call the company Orange Elephant Roofing, after seeing her neighbor speaking to them.
“I spoke to the salesman, he came back the very next day and he asked if he could please get on my roof and do a free inspection,” she said. “Since I already had this other damage I finally allowed him onto the roof and that’s when he found the hail damage.”
A claim was filed with her insurance company and at the end of August she gave Orange Elephant Roofing the insurance check which totaled a little more than $20,000.
Davis said the general manager and sales representative came back to get the check. They told her they would begin the work in October. However, in mid-September, Davis said she started to see some red flags.
‘i reached out to my salesperson and he then informed me that he no longer worked for the company,” she recalled. “He also proceeded to send me a text showing me that their HR Department said we would not be making payroll this week.
Davis said the last time she heard from the company was in early November.
“The general manager spoke to me he told me that my roof would be being done on November 1st,” she said. Shortly after that, I did get a text from him ‘didn’t work for the company anymore, so sorry’ — that would probably be the last time.”
As it turns out, Davis wasn’t the only one. She found out that her neighbor, Lachelle Brooks, was dealing with the same problem.
“We turned a check over to them and we have not heard anything since then.”
Brooks said her insurance company agreed to pay for half of the work upfront and the other half once the job was complete. She handed over a check for $6,500, and like Davis, has not heard back.
“August is when I should be ready to hear from everyone about the new roof, I contacted someone late August and they were like ‘Oh no, we have you on the schedule for February 2025,” Brooks explained. “I was like ‘I wouldn’t have went with you guys — can I get my money back?’ And he goes ‘I understand your frustration but we are gonna try to work it out so you can get everything done in September.’ But didn’t hear anything after that.”
Davis and Brooks said their insurance companies are not getting involved, and they have not been able to contact Orange Elephant Roofing as several employees have left the company.
News 2 tried calling two numbers listed for Orange Elephant and neither call went through. We are told no one is available at their King Street location either.
However, Orange Elephant is currently being sued over debts they owe. On October 31, Gulfeagle Supply, a roofing and building product distributor, filed a lawsuit for breach of contract accusing Orange Elephant of failing to pay for materials totaling nearly $18,000.
As for Brooks and Davis, they are frustrated and hope they can get their money back. Davis said the situation will also change the way she does business moving forward.
“Probably let my guard down by letting someone come to my front door and I probably should’ve reached out to a roofing company myself and maybe looked around more around my neighbors and asking them who they used,” Davis said. “I really want my money back and I want to get somebody else to do my roof.”
Another roofing company is now stepping up to help those who are in similar situations with Orange Elephant Roofing. Patriot Roofing said they will do the work at cost for anyone who can provide proper documentation.
Summerville Italian Feast brings in funding for Dorchester Dist. 2 schools

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) - The 12th annual Summerville Italian Feast raised a record number of funds this year that all go directly back into the classrooms of Dorchester School District Two.
The event and executive director for the Summerville Italian Feast, Jay Lombardo, said that the goal has always been to try and increase how much they are able to provide each year to support the school district.
“Our first year we had approximately seven vendors and maybe one thousand people showed up. This year we had 108 vendors and we estimated a crowd of somewhere between 15,000 and 17,000 people in a one-day period,” Lombardo said.
Lombardo said this year they were able to give back $40,000 to the Dorchester Two Educational Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to support the students and teachers in Dorchester School District Two.
He said that the total includes proceeds from the Italian Feast portion of the event as well as their Second Annual Meatball Run.
“We had hoped to always increase year after year. My goal, it would’ve been nice to give them a fairly good size check. We’re not going to be able to give them a good size check, we’re going to give them a phenomenal check. We’re going to give them a check for $40,000 this year,” Lombardo said.
Lombardo said that is more than double what they were able to raise last year which was $15,500.
The Meatball Run is something that was added last year. Lombardo said last year they had about 220 runners participate and this year they doubled that number to 440.
The executive director for the Dorchester Two Educational Foundation, Ralph Hayes, said that events like this one are crucial for the school district for the success of their teachers and students because of the lack of funding.
He said that they take the money raised from the event and use it towards classroom teacher projects.
“The teachers will reach out and say this is something I want whether it’s a STEM kit, or a reading initiative, or an art set, and these are things that are not covered by traditional funding,” Hayes said. “Dorchester Two is the fifth lowest funded school district of over eighty school districts in South Carolina and that makes partners like the Summerville Italian Feast, who are investing in our kids, absolutely vital.”
Hayes will be awarding Lombardo and his team with a trophy at the school board meeting on Monday for their hard work and contributing more than $100,000 to District Two over the last decade.
Hayes said that they had people come from all across the state to participate in the event. He highlighted that the growth wouldn’t be possible without the help from their students providing entertainment as well as volunteering.
“We’re excited to see that we are a staple of the local community, but we’re also providing a resource that is having people come in to see all of the wonderful things that Dorchester County has to offer. From the food, from the artists to our wonderful students, and also to the amazing volunteers like Jay and the Italian Feast team who help put on this event,” Hayes said.
Lombardo said that next year’s Meatball Run is going to be on Oct. 11 and the Italian Feast will be on Oct. 12.
Hayes said that the Dorchester Two Educational Foundation has a free moonlit movie night event coming up on Dec. 14 at McKissick Stadium featuring crafts, games and a holiday movie. You can find more information on their Facebook page.
