"Mr. Saffer came to our home in late January / early February to give a free estimate on some work, and take a look at our gas boiler, which was not working to heat our home (the week of a 2' blizzard). He was prompt and did a thorough job of listening to our needs and helping to solution them. The heating system ended up being something that was totally miniscule and he fixed it on the spot with no charge -- who knew that "mystery switch" in the stairwell turned off the heat to the house!?
Anyway, they were set to install a garbage disposal (which needed a sub-contracted electrician), and to remove old pipes that were smaller than today's standard for a disposal pipe, and replace those with new, larger pipes. 
When they came out to do the work, the main plumber, Jason, was very professional, honest and upfront about how the job would progress for the day, and went the extra mile to make sure he and his partner did a great job. The sub-contracted electrician was also extremely professional, and went so far as to discover wiring that was already installed so that our disposal could be switched from the counters, rather than underneath in a cabinet. 
We later had an issue where the disposal had "torqued" itself lose from the drain a little bit, causing some leaking. The on-call plumber was at our home within an hour, and spent a VERY thorough two hours fixing the problem, then spent 10-15 minutes explaining exactly what happened, why, and what to do if it happens again. Apparently as a sound-dampening system, the disposal has a rubber gasket that can allow for this "torquing" and he made us aware so that we know what it is if it happens again. 
Over all, I have been very satisfied with the experience, and would recommend Saffer to anyone who is looking for a good, local plumber to do work. 
*As a note to the one "B" I gave -- pricing. As a local business, I am willing to spend a little more to support a local business, and in this case, there was a slightly lower estimate given from another company. However, when Mr. Saffer came out for our free estimate, we never thought our heat would be working by the time he left, and he fixed it for free without flinching. That was really awesome. We were super desperate, and he came to our rescue within hours. Then, to follow that, the work they did (and follow-up support) was top-notch.

"Work:   The owner is very professional and informative.  Quality is good.  No complains there.
Price:  The owner is a talker!!!  he tells you how difficult everything is in order to charge you more.  I paid $1375 for what it turns out to be only about 2 hours of work!  He charged me $675 for labor ONLY of installing sink and faucet, that is a ripe off!  BE WARE of the jacked up price he is given you!!  My sink was a drop in sink, with simple installation, and home depot installed my faucet for $100 service call before, so it is definitely not worth $675 just for labor to install those two items.  
WAY OVERPRICED!

"Job went very well. We have used James Fama several times and have always been happy with the job. James arrived on time, did the job promptly and left the area clean. His price was very fair. We had a new comfort level installed in a second bathroom and are very pleased with the job."

"Bill Martins Flood Crew is excellent. In December, just before Christmas, my finished rec room flooded when my sump pump failed--soaked carpet, cardboard boxes, books, furniture with sewer water. I thought I would not find anybody this time of year to help me. But I called Bill Martins from Flood Crew, and he came out right away. He looked at the basement and gave me an analysis of my damage on the spot. He was wonderful. He took care of getting detailed estimates to my insurance company and then made arrangements for me with all the needed specialists. First, I wouldn't have known where to start, and second I wouldn't have had a clue whom to call. I needed crews to remove the carpet, cut out drywall all around to dry it out, check for mold, test for asbestos, and then remove everything. And, of course, fixing the sump pump, installing flooring, putting everything back, and lots of details in between. All of this obviously can't be completed in a week or even a month. My work was not the only project that busy contractors had. My situation was far more complicated than I thought it would be. Ultimately, it took four months, which I thought was very reasonable. And the result is so beautiful--no corners cut, no putting up with mediocre results, all this for the same price and time or less than others quote. Be patient. Be flexible. Talk with Bill about the results you want. Listen to suggestions. Your results will be beyond anything you thought was possible."

"Fidel is fantastic. He was able to match paint colors, suggested & used the right products to prevent the problem (mold from steamy bathrooms) and did a beautiful paint job. Treated, cleaned, painted in 2 days with 2 assistants. We ran into an unforseen obstacle, my bathroom fans were not hooked to vents. He gave me guidance on purchasing fans & brought his electrician in for correct installation. Because of an issue in my ceiling, we cannot vent through the walls as planned. He was going to use HVAC suggestions to vent through the roof, but he stopped & called some experts who told him that I could suffer leaks if I don't use a skilled roofer. We will have a roofer do the vents. Fidel only charged me for the work done. He'll come back to install fans after that."

"There was something that was in the drain so that when water was going in one direction it would be fine but if there there was something down the disposal it would flip it and the it would have a clog and they cleared that. They were straight forward, they got the job done proficiently and professionally."

"Awesome. James tore out the old corner shower, pointed out the ways which the original builder cut corners, made mistakes and implemented our re-design which included expanding the shower out another 2' and making it completely open. Installed the difficult pebble floor and hand-cut every pebble at the edge to make a perfect joint with the base wall tile. All work was done to perfectionist standard. James was alway on time, communicated well and even jammed some extra hours in day to get the job done before my wife arrived home from vacation. All in all, excellent work."

"We we were completely satisfied with our experience at Advanced Granite — from the time we walked through the door and met Shelby until our installation was complete. We purchased a remnant piece of granite for a new vanity we had installed in our guest bathroom - a small project to say the least. Everyone at Advanced Granite treated us like we were their best customer. Great quality product and work."

"We needed to replace a toilet, James went with us to Home Depot to select one. We now have a water efficient and higher seated toilet, which is great for aging relatives that can’t bend so easily anymore. I would definitely hire/contract him again!"

Install Garbage Disposal 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. 

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should repair or replace your garbage disposal, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.

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.
