"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."

"Overall it went really well and I will definitely use them again in the future. It took longer to move than anticipated but I think my expectations were probably pretty high to begin with. Add into that we had a crazy amount of stuff in our 3 bedroom house and that it was one of the hottest days of the summer and I think the move went extremely well. Nothing was broken. My only "complaint" was that one of his guys wasn't quite prepared for the heat that day. Wearing jeans and a polyester shirt, probably a rookie mistake. He ended up getting overheated and wasn't very helpful, but again, this wasn't anyone's fault really as the weather was incredibly hot. Jeremy's guys were courteous and hard working. They really kept on trucking. Speaking of trucks, we purchased the (2) 21-foot trucking package with 4 guys and they showed up with a slightly shorter truck. Jeremy said that there was a mix up with the rental place. But he made it work and everything went just fine. I was a little worry about fitting everything, but we got it all in there, no problem.
Jeremy is a true professional mover and when you watch him work you can see why he does this for a living. He's incredibly strong and has great stamina. When his workers were getting tired (it was a long day), he provided great "lead-by-example" leadership and kept them going until we were done. 
We went over the time allowed by about about 2.5 hours so I gladly paid him the additional hourly fee. I couldn't have done this move without Master Movers and their team. 
With any job, especially one as big as ours, there will always be unanticipated problems, but it's how a company solves the problems that leaves customers coming back... and I'll be coming back if I ever move again.

Garbage Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

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.
