"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

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It’s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. 

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, 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.

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.
