"Once Mr. Wilkerson arrived, I told him the problem I was having with my sink. He then started performing the work to unclog my drain. It did not take that long for him to unclog my drain and he checked to make sure it was running fine before he left. I continued to monitor the flow of the water draining in the sink. It has been a week since he performed the work on my sink and I have not had any problems so far."

"KBR Kitchen and Bath (Fairfax) did an incredible job remodeling our upstairs bathrooms! We initially reached out to several companies for quotes, but we selected KBR because the designer (Silviya) made such a great impression when she came to our home to take measurements and to collect our requirements for the project. She asked great questions, gave helpful advice, and she helped us select the right design and materials to ensure that we ended up with bathrooms that we love. Throughout the project, the Project Manager, Omer, kept us informed of the process and schedule, answered our questions, and he ensured that communication between us, the subcontractors, and the crew doing the work was seamless. The crew was at our house from 8-5 every day, they put down drop cloths to cover the floor from the front door to the bathroom, and they cleaned up well before leaving each day. The team was led by Urias whose attention to detail, eye for design, and experience resulted in bathrooms that exceeded our expectations in every way. We were so impressed by Urias’ work that we added additional electrical work in the kitchen and basement onto our contract. I had heard so many horror stories about remodeling projects that drastically exceeded the budget and schedule, so I was expecting some surprises. The only surprise was how great the final product was…both bathrooms exceeded our expectations in every way!"

"Nick and Mario were recommended by our builder (My Builder, Inc.) to supply and install the granite in our new finished basement.  They were FABULOUS!  They helped us look at samples, talked budget, explained benefits/pitfalls of what we were requesting and were even helpful in finding attractive and reasonably priced corbels (the things that support big heavy bars).  If we ever get around to replacing the counters in the kitchen, Nick and his team are going to be the first ones we call."

"As my husband and I were spring cleaning and bringing things into the attic when we noticed the installation had falling on nearly half of our roof and was wet to the touch. My husband did the initial inspection and noticed that mold, mildew and a huge leak had take over the wood and was exposed to the outside of the house. 
I am a natural researcher - called several friends for recommendations, shopped around on DIY websites to see if this was something we could manage ourselves, and then stumbled on the Lumbee website. Lumbee was about my 5th call, the have a really nice customer service and I was directed directly to a technician that came out the next day to inspect our roof. 
Darren came the next day, he was very knowledgeable on the scope of work, the products we needed to use, and was helpful in identifying what the immediate need was . Some people would have told me to replace my whole roof but he totally must have been reading my mind! 
The repairs were made next day and it only took him a total of 4 hours ! He even replace my cracked window in my kitchen that my son threw a rock in months ago ! I highly recommend Darren and his team. This was a great service and was taken care of right away."

"Katherine Bradshaw was the design specialist guiding me through the process. With so many products, color combinations, etc. her assistance was invaluable. Her suggestions proved to be right on. She was easy to work with, took my list of requirements and the final product is amazing! I wish I had done this years ago. It has made a tremendous difference in the look and functionality of the kitchen. Grover and Johnny were the 2 primary workers; their work ethic was impressive. They respected my home & took care not to cause any damage. Ibrahim was very responsive to a few minor follow up items. His advice regarding my query on whether to include or not a granite backsplash rise on the granite countertop was exactly correct in the end. This company uses quality products and cares about its customers, responds promptly, and performs timely follow up. I would definitely use them again."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

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.

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. 

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.
