"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!"

"Mike arrived within the estimated timeframe and went right to work.  We also appreciate that he placed paper covers on his shoes to avoid tracking anything into the house.
Mike immediately saw the need to replace the hot and cold water intake valves as part of the new install - something I would not have known.  Also, obviously, he has all the right tools for the job.  That's why we prefer to use a professional rather than attempt DIY fixes.
Mike did the whole job in just about an hour.  Before he left, he even made sure that I understood the new faucet has a lifetime warranty, so be sure to call the manufacturer if anything at all goes wrong.  That's the extra measure of customer service that The Plumbing Therapist always provides.
We have used The Plumbing Therapist in the past and we are always impressed with their promptness, friendliness, courtesy, honesty, professionalism and the quality of the work.  The cost of the service was exactly as estimated and included the promised 15% off labor for Angie's List members.
You don't think much about how often you go to the kitchen sink every day until it's out of action for a few days!  Now we have a nice new faucet.
Thank you, Mike and Bonnie!

"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 has provided services for us for years.  Whatever needs doing on a house, he can and does do.  He is a skilled electrician, plumber, contractor, etc.  He has fixed garage doors, installed new garage door openers, installed lighting indoors and outside, fixed sliding glass doors, fixed plumbing leaks, etc. He comes immediately in case of an emergency to do emergency repairs.  He is always very professional, extremely skilled and a real gem. He cleans up thoroughly before leaving. I can't praise him highly enough.  He is honest and will tell you truthfully what can/should be done or what can wait. His charges are very reasonable. His work is excellent in every respect.

"Matt has done various extra jobs for me that pertain to maintaining my pool.  A pump replacement that was required resulted in a reduction in my electric bill....just as he said it would.  Also, I had a light out in the pool that three other companies said they could not fix.  Some tried and could not fix it because they couldn't get the wiring out due to too many "U" turns in the wiring.  Matt said he could fix it and I had my doubts.  He came and had it fixed and working in about 1 hour!

This is the third time Jerry has done repairs for my house.  He is always professional, prepared, and personable. When I called, since it wasn't a crisis, he came as soon as he had an opening.   He came and assessed my old hot water heater, determined it needed to be replaced (it was 15 years old).He explained the problems and options to me. He installed a new one, changing some of the old plumbing to meet current requirements, and as always, cleaned up.

"They were very professional and on time. They were very clean and tidy. They arrived on time and completed when they said they would. I have no complaints with their service. The price was also fair for the work performed. They came in at a reasonable price compared to several bids we received."

"During a house purchase US Trenchless came out and scoped the main sewer line.  They gave me a detailed report.  They also gave me a quote to replace the line.  After doing some comparison shopping US Trenchless beat a competitors low bid by 10%.  The work was done on time and professionally.  I would recommend them and use them again.  Ross and Tim were great."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.

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.

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.
