"Carlos originally remodeled our entire office space, which we LOVE. We are VERY picky about how things are done, and this guy lived up to our expectations and more. At times, I think we drove him a bit crazy, but he never showed it. 
He installed our sink and we've always had some plumbing issues as a result of the old pipes in the building. My sink had been clogged for a couple of weeks and I was super lazy about calling Carlos to come check it out. I called him last week and within an HOUR he was there to fix it. He happened to be in the neighborhood on his lunch break, and took time from eating to come check in, say hello and fix the plumbing issues. It was fixed in no time and is working like new.
Carlos is always professional, timely, and definitely puts his clients first. I actually had a new client prospect in my office and Carlos politely excused himself to give us privacy. A true professional and overall, a wonderful man. Highly recommend for any service, and I am also happy to do a phone call reference if someone prefers.

"I cannot say enough about the excellent service that I received from Arc Water Damage. A broken pipe under my house resulted in a sewage spill. I received very professional and friendly service from my first call to Nina, the owner/office manager, to the crew that came to my house to do the cleanup. Tyrone was great. Due to pipes over the area requiring clean up, he had a very cramped area to work in. My plumbers were able to come in the next day and work in a fresh clean area. I can understand why ARC has so many excellent reviews. I highly recommend ARC Water Damage"

"SGK was very responsive in appt to show work and place order.  Cesar the installer was on time, professional and diligent with work.  He also took the time to explain the condition of the floor in my house and I appreciate him trying to salvage the molding inside to preserve the look.  Excellent work.  Very knowledgeable."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.
