Q: Are there alternatives to stump grinding or direct removal?

• <div><p>The most common alternative is burning the stump first, then dealing with the cinders and ashes. As you can imagine, this option creates fire hazards, especially since roots can burn underground, hidden, for long afterward. That&rsquo;s why many states and cities have outlawed the use of stump burning entirely. We do not recommend this option as a viable alternative unless you get a permit from the local fire department and practice all safe burning procedures.</p><p>Others prefer a more long-term DIY approach of degrading the stump with home mixtures <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-epsom-salt-vinegar-kill-tree-stump.htm">like Epsom salt and vinegar</a> injected directly into it. This may help the stump decay faster, allowing homeowners to dig it out themselves, but it&rsquo;s still a lengthy process. It usually takes months for a stump to start falling apart with such treatments, and in the meantime, it can be vulnerable to rot, insects, and other problems.</p></div>

Q: How do I safely dispose of fireplace ash?

• <div><p>Once your ashes have fully cooled, you can place them in a heavy-duty trash bag and put them into the bin with your normal trash. If you have wood ash, you can add the ash to your composting pile or sprinkle it over your grass or plants directly for added nutrients.</p></div>

Q: How do I dispose of old vinyl windows?

• <div><p>If you are having new windows installed, it&rsquo;s possible that your installer will help you dispose of your old windows for a fee, or at least know who to call in your city for information. You could also look into local recycling centers, such as those run by Habitat for Humanity, which collect old home items. Finally, you could choose to repurpose the materials into something new or see if a neighbor, family member, or friend would like to do so.</p></div>

Q: Is it easy to remove carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>Taking carpet off stairs is an easy but multi-step process you can usually do yourself. If you have the right tools, time, and oomph to finish the job, removing carpet from stairs can be an easy-to-medium difficulty task, depending on your stairs, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-types-carpet-fibers.htm">type of carpet</a> installed, and how willing you are to get your hands dirty. It&rsquo;s important to review the process, gather the right tools before you begin, and follow a tutorial or directions while you work.</p></div>

Q: How do I prepare for building material removal?

• <div><p>Ensure clear access to debris, separate hazardous materials, and verify disposal restrictions.</p></div>

They arrived two hours late. Two hours later, not ONE SINGLE ROOM was clean. It was the sloppiest job I have ever seen. I don't think they actually do this for a living or perhaps have not done it before. I had to ask them to clean the appliances, clean the foyer, vacuum the stairs, mop. ...
