"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.

"We had an amazing experience with James and his crew. Not only did they wash all of the windows in our home inside and out and leave them spotless, but James also directed a group of four men who pressure washed the outside of the house, including delicate shingles, and washed down all the flat painted walls inside, cleaned all the light fixtures, and the baseboards. They went the extra mile to make sure that everything was done and done extremely well. The work was truly impeccable. James is responsive and professional and his crew were friendly, polite, and hard working. The house is spotless. All materials were taken away with them. We will be hiring James and his crew for other work in the near future. I cannot recommend James highly enough."

"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."

"Jesse went above and beyond the day he picked up a garage full of stuff I no longer needed. He took time to secure a piece of siding on my house and checked out my gutters and shingles. I'll definitely be retaining Jesse for additional work on my house. Great worker and nice guy!"

Garbage Collection 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.

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.

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.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

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.
