"Everything went well. It took the fellows a little over a half an hour to remove the items from all over the house. They were supposed to come on Aug. 7, but had an issue with a truck. They called to let me know, and we rescheduled for Aug. 8. They arrived right on time."

"I was very happy with the service we received from All Seasons Tree Service. I called them early in the morning and the owner came right over (within a half hour) to look at our problem. Our trees were in a bad location, growing out of a tree well, and we live up on a bluff with difficult access. One tree had come down 2 days earlier and had fallen on the power lines in front of our house. There was a big mess to clean up from Excel Energy in front of our house next to the road. There was another tree ready to fall that had been growing next to the other tree hanging over our driveway and stairs where people walk and I was afraid it would fall on someone. We talked about cost and gave them the job right away because of their promt attention to the matter. I called them a 7:30 am and within an hour or so the whole crew was at our house. They were so fast and it was a hard job!  They also had to climb up one of our trees in the back yard  (which is huge and high up there) as we can't get any equipment back there and trim branches off of that tree. The guys had to carry all those big limbs down to the truck. I think this big job only took them 21/2 hours including cleanup! Wow! They cleaned everything up except they forgot one big piece of the tree that was hidden under a pine tree. No big deal although I wish they would have brought it with them because it is huge. They did a great job. It was a difficult job as they had to carry pieces of the cut up tree down stairs and also over a 2 tiered retaing wall.  I felt sorry for the guys they were really working hard! They really get down to business! I would for sure use them again!

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.

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 the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

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.
