"After lining up three plumbing contractors to install a kitchen faucet, a garbage disposal and fix a drainage leak, I selected Superior Plumbing to do the job because their technician seemed to have the necessary professionalism for a good job and they were also the least expensive of the three contractors I contacted. My service tech Armin was on time, cheerful, courteous and knowledgeable. It was obvious that he cared for my particular needs and he even announced that he loves his job and always looks forward to doing things right. He took almost exactly the time that was originally quoted and did an excellent job, cleaning up thoroughly before leaving. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again. Thanks Armin."

"I am re-landscaping my yard and had used Nato before for a small project and he did a good job for me so I asked him to bid this project. His price was competitive. He and his crew arrived promptly, completed the job on time and did quality work. I installed some irrigation lines and landscape lighting conduit during their job and I was pretty slow and it delayed them from filling in their trenches. Nato and his crew were very patient and Nato actually helped me at one point since I was such rookie. My landscape architect wanted the drains to be done a certain way and while it was not the usual way Nato did drains he was fine doing it the way that was requested. I would definitely use him again and told him to use me as a reference."

"Excellent company excellent plumbers. Out water heater ruptured in the middle of the night and we had a plumber contacting us with next steps almost immediately at 2am. Greg, our plumber went above and beyond trying to get our hot water back as soon as possible and as cost effectively as possible and we can’t thank him enough for that. Great communication and a quick install. Can’t see us using anyone else for our plumbing needs."

"I approached T. James Construction based on clearly outstanding Angie's List reviews.  It tunred out that owner Todd Oliver and I  had metearlier  through mutual friends.  Initially his schedule precluded considering this project, but about 6 weeks after our first contract that changed.  During that period he had advised me on things to consider so when he asked if he could submit a bid, I was delighted because I had developed confidence that we could work well together.  (Prior to my retirement I had managed comparable projects for my employer, and found this contract  far and away the most satisfying and enjoyable personal and professional experience to date.)
Todd's bid was comprehensive and competitive.  His many local references were highly favorable and in my view understated the quality of the work perfomed here. 
The quality of work performed and attention to detail was astonishing and his crew were a real delight to work with, both personally and professionally.  As examples, where new work met existing work, existing work was planed, filled, and textured so that once primed, there was no perceptible transition from old to new. To replace the original solid deck rail, I had suggested a verticle louver which Todd refined and his crew fabricated, which my wife and I believe enhanced the exterior appearance of the house while visually opening the interior without any loss of privacy, and at minimal additional cost. The uprights for the railing were installed inside a 4-sided boxed frame which I had never seen before, resulting in rock solid railings. The work site was always maintained in a spotless condition both at the end of the workday and upon completion of the job.
(During the 7-8 week duration of this project, my wife and I were out of the country 3 weekson a long-planned trip.  I had no reservations in giving Todd access the house.)
Additional work required by conditions discovered during the project was always discussed with me before proceeding and was billed at what I feel was a more than reasonable cost.
Our experience has been highly satisfactory.  I can recommend T. James Construction without reservation.  We expect to continue with some larger projects after the first of the yea.r

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

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.
