"Called via phone, asked for an estimate and was quoted a great price. I called another company prior to calling 5 Star Plumbing and another company wanted to charge me 4 times the amount. Peter arrived early, installed the part, and tested the water heater. Provided excellent work and customer service. Highly recommend and would use his services again. Peter also came out within 10-15 minutes after speaking to him since we're located nearby. Thanks!"

"Terrible. I mean the advertisement was correct, but then when the sales man came out, he was supposedly with them for seven years or what ever. So Mexican guy, very qualified, very nice guy. He said he would do the same job but kind of alter exactly what they did. You know when you are dealing with drains you know, and I really didn't want the scope, the camera and I said no i just want the drains cleared out. He said yeah he can do it and then the owner called back and said that no he's not gonna honor it. My experience is very bad. I'm very disappointed. They are misleading people."

"The plumber walked me through the pricing before starting the work, and installed the new disposal and faucet in a timely manner. He did a good job cleaning up after the job, and the work has held up ever since."

"Their cost was just for the labor because the water heater was under warranty.  Their professionalism, service and cleanup were all excellent.  I would recommend them.  They were good.  The person who came was very conscientious, courteous and helpful.  They were a little bit late getting here the first time."

"Matt was extremely helpful providing options to replace my existing water heater. He was very easy to talk with and responded back in a timely manner via text message and phone. The installation of the new water heater, circulation pump and new water line went well and I’m happy with the quality of work performed. I would recommend him to others."

"Plumber responded the same day I called. I already purchased the parts and he installed them. He was done in 3 hours and did a very good job. It was a little more money than I expected, but when you get quality work you have to pay for it. I would use this company again. And I recommend them."

"Creig arrived right on time. His schedule was flexible and he came on a Saturday which was good for us. He talked with us about the general condition of the garage door and springs. He was knowledgeable about the springs and said ours were fine and did not need to be replaced, even though we thought there was something wrong with them. So he didn't oversell services. I appreciate that. He installed the opener very quickly and told us we had made a good choice. We've been using the opener for 3 weeks now and it works perfectly. The cost for the service was exactly what his estimate was. Creig is also a handyman and we will use him for other projects, too, if he's available."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

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.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.
