"Peyton from Chuck that Junk responded to my request quickly, provided a fair quote, and adjusted it when I added more to the job. I've asked teenagers for help. My neighbors offered to help. But the job was too big. Peyton completed the job within 2 business days. What a relief!"

"Tyler showed up on time with his crew of 3. They assessed the situation and told me what they thought was the best option, but still gave me all the possible trimming/removal options and the pros and cons to each of them. They performed the removal safely, securing the tree so that it could not fall into my home before than began to cut it down. I was surprised at how quickly they were able to remove it while doing so in a safe manner. They cleaned up any debris and were gone in just a couple of hours! I called several services and Tyler gave me the most competitive price and his honesty put me at ease, that was probably the deciding factor for me choosing Lumberjacks Tree Service. Would highly recommend to anyone in need!"

"This company is wonderful.  They wrapped all items both fragile and non-fragile that they did not want scratched.  When they left something behind accidentally, they went back for it at no charge.
They are so personable and professional I used them again.  I needed to have a tri-cornered hutch moved from Hixson to my home in E Brainerd. Once again, professionalism, carefulness, timeliness and cost were so well done.  I will absolutely use Bizzy Bee anytime I need any items moved that I am not able myself.  Thank you for helping us find just the right people.

"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

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.

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.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

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.
