"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

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.

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.

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.

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.
