"500 sqft vacant cabin, basically cleaning a kitchen and super tiny bathroom, charged me $365, the cleaner said it was her first day, bad job, glass on the carpet, didn't clean the ceiling fans, turned on air conditioner and left it on when they left, didn't lock up the house when leaving, horrible customer service and conflicting invoicing and company names, very unprofessional"

"Did a roof patch job which wasn?t properly finished my roof ended up still leaking and he refused to fix it and told me to stop contacting him. I would get off work at five and I have a lot of stuff to do and end up having to text him about his work later in the night 8-10ish and he would get upset about me texting him ?? during inappropriate hours affecting his relationship with his girlfriend.. furthermore, he used this as an excuse to get out of the two unfinished jobs he had he told me that my washer pipe was producing gases from the pipe, but it was really just my dryer?s gasoline leaking. So charge me on a plumbing job that didn?t need to be done. Unless other jobs unfinished where I had to hire a licensed person to do."

"I used Greater Michigan Movers a few weeks ago for a move of a 3 bedroom home. I was very impressed with their prompt arrival and efficient ability to carefully and quickly move all of my household items. Furniture was wrapped and handled very carefully. There was NO damage to any of the items or my new and old home. This kind of careful handling is hard to find. The men on the crew were very personable and friendly. It was so easy to work with them. I've done many moves across the country and this was one of the best experiences I've had. Setting up the move with Jerry was also a breeze! Do yourself a favor and hire this company for any moving needs. I highly recommend you select Greater Michigan Movers for any upcoming move! These guys are pros and hard workers! Thanks guys."

"TERRIBLE PEIPLE TO WORK WITH. IM OUT $50. It took about 2 weeks to get Brian out to give me an estimate. At that time, he told me he charges $50 for an estimate which goes towards the work if he’s hired. He’d not mentioned that before and it was a red flag but I gave him the $50 and he said he’d be back on 7/19. I texted him the day before to confirm and he didn’t respond. So I texted again that evening and the text wouldn’t deliver. I called and a msg said I was calling from a restricted number, he blocked me! I called Cameron the next morning and explained what happened and he said he was trying to reach Brian as well. He told me he’d come out and do the work and would call me back with some options of when he could come. Four days have passed and no call back. I’ve tried calling again and his mailbox is full. TERRIBLE WAY TO DO BIZ!!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

Whether you choose to repair your garbage disposal will depend on the problem. For minor issues like a bad seal, you can fix the unit for less than $10. If the motor unit is broken, which can easily cost $150, you may want to consider replacing the entire disposal if it’s getting on in years. 

Garbage disposals fit the drains of nearly every sink out there due to universal drain hole sizes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, but the same isn’t true for the housing underneath the sink. You need plenty of room to fit a garbage disposal under there, so measure the space ahead of time and use those dimensions when shopping for a new model. If you’re replacing an existing model, get one in that size.

Garbage disposals last an average of seven years but can function well past 10 years. However, as time goes on and more food is ground, the grinding plates will slowly lose their edge and need replacing. A motor likely won’t last 10 or more years, but you should be able to get a minimum of five years at least, even under heavy usage. 

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.
