I found Brian to be very efficient and methodical in the approach demonstrated throughout the install.
He was very polite, professional, respectful and clean, in terms of not making a mess and ensuring that any debris from install was properly disposed of and work area left spotless. His workmanship is nothing short of brilliant.

"I was quite surprised when the owner of the company answered the phone when I called. Ernie was very professional and sent his guy over within an hour or two. Although Ernie did not perform the actual work, his employee was very professional and knowledgeable. Ernie (the owner) even came by to check on the job! My Dad was a custom home builder and was always heavily involved in his jobs and in contact with the owners so I appreciate that type of pride of ownership. All in all a very positive experience. It probably was not the cheapest route I could have gone but I got good quality equipment installed "the right way". Again, from my history with the way my Dad ran his business I much prefer to pay a fair price for quality. That is what I got with Professor Plumb. Hopefully I won't need a plumber again anytime soon but, if I do, I will definitely call Professor Plumb. "
"I received a quote window for the work to be done, which was competitive with other companies. The reviews for SweepMyRoof were strong, and it was important to support a local business. Jeff arrived at the scheduled time, introduced himself, and detailed the work to be done. It was a hot, hot day, and Jeff worked incredibly hard at cleaning the gutters, trimming overhanging branches, and bagging all debris. When the day was done he offered a price that I felt was below the quality, and I happily paid a bit more for what was nothing short of A+ professional work. Communications with SweepMyRoof was fantastic. I can't recommend them enough. Jeff also does gutter repairs and installation, house/roof washing, and more."
"Christian showed up promptly to review our installation and to confirm they had a filtration system that would work for us. He was able to offer discounted pricing and next day installation! Super friendly, super professional and super helpful!"
"The workman was on time, polite, and got straight to work after listening to my instructions. I definitely got my money's worth! He cut down a lot of overgrowth in my yard. He offered to take it all away for me, but I would have had to pay more, and I declined. He then put it all in a pile for me in my back yard, and I will have my son haul it to the front on the appropriate date for the garbage man, I am glad I purchased this deal!"
"I was pretty nervous about having this work done. But since I couldn't afford a new tub (installation costs yikes!) I opted for the resurfacing. I got lots of estimates and although Ike's quote was not the lowest, the process he described sounded much more thorough than what others described. He would sand it, bond the chip, prime it and spray 2-3 coats. He was punctual and very friendly both when he gave me quote and when he performed the work. He and his crew (really his family...so nice) put down drop cloths everywhere they walked and covered everything in the vicinity of the tub. They even had a fan and long hose to vent the fumes out of the house. When finished, he caulked the tub (we had replaced the tile and hadn't caulked yet) around the walls and reinstalled the drain. Very clean. The only thing was he used some sort of caulk that started falling apart after a couple weeks. Maybe it old or maybe just a cheap caulk. Not sure. No big deal though I just pulled it out and redid it with my own fancy caulk. Next time, I'll hand him my choice of caulk and I know he'll do the job. He gave us instructions on how to take care of the new surface (cleaning, etc) and we've followed it to a "T". It's been 6 months and the tub still looks great and the chip fix is still perfect. I would definitely use Porcelite again. "
"Counter tops are so beautiful, that every time I go into the kitchen, looking at them makes me smile! There was a limited selection for the price, but the end result is beautiful. We had a bit of a delay due to the kitchen sink that I ordered, but Mario and his crew installed the counter tops in one day, once the sink arrived."
Install Garbage Disposal questions, 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.
To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.
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.
Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.
On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.
