"We actually had tried to hire Mick to take down an almost 60-ft-tall tree that fell over in a storm the year before, and had he been available, we would have saved a LOT of money!  We paid another company $3000 to remove the tree (it had to be done quickly as it was lying on top of our neighbor's roof), but Mick would have done the job for around $1000. Sadly, he wasn't available that day. He's very down-to-earth, reliable, and has excellent prices.

"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."

"I am very happy with the work done by JB construction.  The company came by and gave me an estitimate on two projects I was contemplating.  One of the projects I used my coupon on.  The other project was also done but paid him his normal rate.  I found the company completed the job in a very timely manner.  They even adjusted a few things that only took minutes that I was (or was not) aware of but had not asked him to do!  I was very, very appreciative of that.  They were very courteous and kept me updated on the status of the projects and their recommendations when I asked questions / opinions.  They were always prompt (on time).  I would definately recommend this service and know who to call when I need handyman services in the future.  Thank you!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.

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.

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.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.
