"Removed old nonworking water filter system from another company and nstalled a reverse osmosis water system. It works great and the installer was very prompt and professional. Work was neatly done and all questions answered. Very satisfied with the company, the system and their workers. The water tastes great."

"I called Don because my disposal and dishwasher stopped working. He did some terrific troubleshooting and got the dishwasher back into service. He found the trouble to be with the breaker switch but also that the disposer had shorted out (I'll call for warrantied service). While here, he cleaned out the disposal (yuck) and the kitchen sink drain, as well. Also, at my request, he figured out how to fix the outlet so that those two 3-prong plugs will now fit without being jammed together. Smart guy! His service was tip-top -- prompt, courteous, efficient, thorough, and very reasonable on the charge."

"I started laundry Saturday morning and then I heard the washer beeping - checking I found the washer was on but making noise as it tried to drain the water out in the spin cycle - I tried to open the door and found it was locked - so I turned it off - back on - still it would not unlock and would not spin - I tried another setting - same thing - turned it off - unplugged it - nothing would work - so my husband tried - nothing worked - went to Angie's list found Allan and gave him a call - he was going to be in the area on Sunday - YES SUNDAY - and said if I could wait til 3:00 he would come by - of course - then I asked what the service fee would be he said $84.00 plus parts if he had to order - I asked again what was the extra cost for Sunday - he told me just the $84.00 as quoted.  We tried the washer again - nothing - so we waited - Allan called us on Sunday at 2:00 and asked if he could come early - of course - out he came, went right to work - hooked up  his computer - didn't see anything wrong with the system - took of the back of the washer drained the water - unlocked the door so I could get the laundry out - then he started to work inside - turns out the drain inside the washer was clogged with sand (?) we don't go to the beach so I have no idea how that got in there.  The sand was so hard he thought it was a mechanical part - nope - sand - put the washer back together started it up - it runs like new!!  Gave me the bill - $84.00 - told us he also works on refrigerators if we need him.   Very nice - professional - friendly guy - we will keep his info and offer it to our friends!"

"They dealt with pulling up flooring, swapping out our cupboards, and took down drywall. He also cleaned everything in our home; he washed our walls and paid to have all clothes/furniture laundered. He also notified us that the water heater, faucet, and garbage disposal were leaky so that we could have those replaced to avoid further mold issues. I decided to go with him over two other providers based upon his extremely detailed and comprehensive estimate.  

He was very good at coordinating with his subcontractors and also with the the installation people from Lowe's."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

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.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job.
