"Installation went smoothly. I've had the system for about 5 years and I recommend it highly. The water tastes great. We don't buy water anymore. Our pipes are protected from mineral buildup. Very pleased with our purchase."

"John and his son Gavin were nothing short of fabulous. They were professional, conscientious and very efficient about ensuring everything was perfect while installing my new garbage disposer. Unlike most change-outs, my old disposer was bolted in and rusted out - (I should have taken pictures, it was awful) - which required heavy-duty cutting and a lot of extra labor. Yet in the end - there was no extra charge! These guys are a team and went above and beyond what was expected. Unreal and unbelievable. Thank you John and Gavin for being a GREAT TEAM! Very happy!"

"I was not at home for about three weeks, and after returning, I found a drainage problem in my kitchen. I was quite anxious because this was my first time dealing with clogged sinks. I got a suggestion from my close friend, and according to their recommendation, I called for a hometown restoration in need of a plumber for the next day. A great technician came on the next day at the right time and started working with diligence. He was the friendliest, funniest, and the most hardworking guy I've ever met when looking for house repair services. He encountered difficulties with the pipes at first and was eventually able to remove the blockage. He also stopped for a while after repairing the issue to ensure that the dishwasher and waste disposal worked better. Cheaper price than the other plumbing companies, so highly recommended!"

"The service was a little rough around the edges. The technician who came out it was his first day on the job. He installed a couple of the screens incorrectly. We called them back and they sent him back out to properly install the screens."

"John & his wife Suzette are "old school" -- they believe if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right. They patched drywall, textured, and painted our ugly unfinished kitchen ceiling after we had an electrician remove the 1970s style fluorescent lights with yellowing Fiberglas covers and install new LED "can" lights. Aside from the new lights, the ceiling was an eyesore. John & Suzette made it look great. John also suggested and installed a dimmer switch for the very bright LED lights, a big improvement. They were on time, kept their commitments, and charged a reasonable fee for the time they spent. Plus they are a nice, friendly couple. We definitely will ask them back for future projects.

"I had an issue with my garbage disposal and my faucet. My faucet has a long hose that pulls out. The guy actually couldn't figure out the hose, and it works worse than it did. The garbage disposal installation was fine, but as far as the faucet, it's wobbly. He couldn't get the hose to retract and extend. The sprayer where you can shift it between the stream and the spray that was working before he worked on it, and not working after he left. The garbage disposal looks great and everything works fine. He couldn't manage to reinstall a faucet on my kitchen sink. 

I knew that it wasn't going to take very long and had considered doing it myself. I had an issue with my arm and didn't want to exacerbate that. I though while he was down there disconnecting stuff, he could troubleshoot the hose getting stuck, and he couldn't. He tried to get me to pay $125 a piece to replace ankle stops, which turns the water on and off from the hoses for your hot and cold. He turned it, and it leaks a little dribble down and said it needed to be replaced. I knew what he was doing and he quotes me $250 to replace those and you can change them for under $10. They are the easiest things to do. I wasn't appreciating the professionalism with that. 

I didn't pay more than the Big Deal. It was only for two hours worth of work. I knew the installation of my garbage disposal wasn't going to cost more than $200. I made the arrangements before they came out, I didn't spring it on them. I notified them in advance what I needed to get done. 

The garbage disposal was an "A", but making something I had not working as well as it should even worse, and then trying to sell me something for an arm and a leg that wasn't really broken would've been an "F".

They were on time and notified me when they were on their way. They didn't take very long to complete the job. They left it clean. I think they should be able to troubleshoot a fairly new faucet. Anybody who's fairly handy could install something like that. They couldn't troubleshoot what was wrong with it and it wasn't technically broken. It was a fairly new product that got jammed, maybe by the way it was connected, may have tangled to the point that it just wasn't pulling out and going back smoothly. I think that would've been plumbing 101, first day on the job, that level of education. I would've expected any plumber to be able to solve that issue and they did not. I don't have a lot of good to say about that. I don't have a $500 faucet in there, but it wasn't a junk item, and had only been in there for about a year.

I don't think it's professional to try and rip off a customer. You won't build a customer base with that dishonesty.

"Before we moved in our newly purchased home, we needed to remove old, smelly popcorn ceiling in entire house, install new light box and fan box, also remove wall which divided living area. I got estimates from 3 contractors. Even it includes ceiling paint and re-texture kitchen ceiling, their estimate was the best. We got no-furniture discount too.
As they said in their website, they did remove popcorn ceiling in one. day. They finished whole project in only 2days!! (Well, my fan wasn't delivered yet when they finished their job, their electrician needed to come the other day to install new light and ceiling fan) Actually tiny amount of popcorn in one closet remained though, it's acceptable. 
Their job was very clean, they even fixed bad joint in the ceiling which we didn't know. The owner Danny Boyd is very kind and easy to reach. Their great job with lifetime warranty, I highly recommend them.

Install Garbage Disposal FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.
