"It went well. It's just that the guy was kind of stubborn and wouldn't listen to us. When he was taking the toilet out, we just kept asking him to wrap the bottom in a trash bag. He was going, "Oh, it's fine. It's not going to leak. It's not going to leak." We kept giving him trash bag saying, "Please." He just ignored the trash bag and took it out to the curb and it just leaked toilet water all throughout the house. It was just him, his attitude. We kept trying to tell him to do it and he wouldn't listen. He goes, "I do this all the time. It's not going to leak." And then, when it leaked all over he is going, "Oh, that's clean water anyways. That's clean water." It was coming from the bottom of the toilet and you can't clean that part. It was $200 for the toilet, installing it and price of the toilet. He said it was additional $60 or $70 to install the water shut off valve. I thought the toilet was okay but the valve was over priced. He showed up on time."
"We were in town for a few days trying to get some things taken care of with our Colorado home prior to our move from North Carolina. We received excellent customer care from Les at DMC Services. He was punctual for the appointments. He clearly explained the work needed and the cost. The work performed was quality and the cost was fair for the time spent and products installed. We could not have been more pleased with the attention to detail and customer care. We will use DMC Services for our future HVAC needs and highly recommend the company."
Saw a special offer on Angie’s List for a garbage disposal swap-out at a reasonable price ($99). I had a 12-year-old disposal that was leaking, so knew it had to be replaced, and had already purchased a new, quieter one. All’s I needed was a technician that could do the install. He arrived as scheduled and got the new unit installed with only a minor pipe modification. New disposal works great!
The offer required a pre-pay, which I was somewhat hesitant to do but trusted that Angie’s List wouldn’t have included this offer if it weren’t legit. The work was done at the quoted price; no additional charges. BTW I found the ‘preferred timeframe’ at signup wasn’t very helpful because it all depended on the times/days the tech had available. Fortunately, the email Angie’s List sent me had the technician’s name and number, so a simple call to him was all that was needed to set up the service call.
"We came home late Saturday night from Thanksgiving holiday travel. As soon as we opened the door to our house, we knew there was a problem, the whole house smelled like old, stagnate water.
We called Above All Cleaning and Restoration that night and spoke to Marc. He had a team at our house the Sunday morning (our choice, nothing seemed to necessitate work late Saturday night). They quickly diagnosed our issue, explained the plan and got to work. Within 45 min the drying process was going, they removed everything that needed to be replaced and were out the door.
The process took longer than initially anticipated, Above All was great to work with. They took the time to show/explain the steps and process and were flexible dealing with the situation as new issues arose.
Marc provided us with a detailed explanation of the work and the costs associated. Given the timing (Sunday of a Holiday weekend) his pricing was very fair. Above All's work and customer service are exceptional, everyone is very respectful, knowledgeable and results focused.
Above All took what we thought was going to be a complete disaster and made it a minor inconvenience. I will recommend Above All to friends and I will hire Marc again if necessary."

"Overall, they did a decent work, but there were definitely flaws in the job. Installation of the Pella door was good. I had to add quite a bit of insulation around it to assure minimal air leakage. The deck was well built. However, when John left for a while we found one of his workers trying to hammer a screw into place. That indicates pretty much "warm body" hiring in my view. The lawn edging surrounding the deck was poorly installed, with a seam right at a 90-degree corner; it has come apart and I'll have to replace it. Inside the edging, we wanted rock. When he came up short with quantity he supplien, he "borrowed" rock that we had paid for from another area of landscaping, leaving that area shorted. Most problematic, there is a drain from the roof that runs under the deck which carries the majority of our roof's water. John's suggestion--and I kick myself for accepting it--was to dig a 3' pit (barely), line it with ground-cloth, fill it with larger rock, and dump the drain into it. In this clay, that pit acts as a rather small barrel,. In anything but the lightest rain, the pit overflows. Because the lawn is nearly level, some of it comes back against the foundation and has caused a moisture problem in my basement. What was needed, I now realize, was a "french drain" to carry the water much further away, and to an above-grade exit. John's "shortcut" solution was totally insufficient, which I think as a professional he should have realized. I am now looking for a contractor to rework the drainage issue. It will be more expensive, now that the deck is in place, but I have to do it to stop the moisture problem. "
"This company helped me with a plumbing issue at my home, and they did an excellent job. The plumber was very patient, understanding, and friendly. He completed the work quickly and efficiently."
Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.
If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400,but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.
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.
