"Michael was hired to trim my hedges. He did a shabby job along with leaving piles of trimmings behind and hedges left untrimmed. I had to call him back the next day to finish."

"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"

"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."

The job is only done when it's done right, it's not only common courtesy, it's common sense.

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

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.

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. 

You can pour boiling water down the garbage disposal only when cleaning it. Use hot water to flush baking soda and vinegar down the drain for a quick clean-up. For running food down the disposal, always use cold water.

If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.
