"I hired James for two days last year to remove some broken tile from the bathroom and install a shower surround in its place. It's more complicated than it sounds because there's a window in that wall of the bathroom, and he also reconstructed the sill and border with water-safe materials rather than the original wood. He did the job quickly, the price was right and I was happy with the results. This year I wanted to do some more work on the bathroom (see above), so I contacted James again. Again he was able to schedule the work quickly and gave me an estimate that was right in line with the preliminary figures we'd talked about the previous year. We agreed on which supplies I'd pick up and which ones he'd be responsible for, and he was responsive and helpful -- even loading a vanity I'd previously bought into his trailer and bringing it to Home Depot so I could return it when I decided I'd rather have a different one. There was an error with a can of paint he picked up for some of the painting I was going to do -- it was a deep base that needed to be tinted, so it didn't actually have any color on its own. James removed it from my bill for materials, and I bought my own replacement. This was a three-day project, and again I'm happy with how it turned out. The only issue was that we agreed he'd return the following week to rehang the mirror and the linen cabinet doors after I'd finished painting; I had a tough time getting a hold of him to pin down an appointment, and it ended up being the next week before those final touches were completed. I don't care about the delay itself -- it came about in part because of an illness in his family -- but the lack of communication that week was frustrating. But overall, I can recommend James' work and his rates, and I will hire him again. We've discussed a Phase Three of the bathroom remodel, redoing the floor with tile later this year, and I've also considered having him do a collection of other jobs like installing a garbage disposal and painting the exterior doors."

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.
The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix.
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.
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.
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.
