"I bought an Angie's List deal from All Day Haul Away for $99 (prepaid); they said by phone that my oversized piece would probably require an extra charge. Four months later when I called for a pickup, it was made by a business called Junk Genius (a subcontractor of All Day Haul Away?). Junk Genius's standard charge is $95, slightly less than the cost of the Angie's List deal I had already paid. Junk Genius said nothing about the load being oversized. Next time, I would try calling Junk Genius first."
Hello my name is Cristian, the owner of Angeles Junk and Haul. I have been doing junk & debris removal for about 3 years now and am wanting to extend my reach to other people who are in need of my services. I go all over MN and am happy to provide my professional service to you.
We have been in the trade for a handful of years locally, it’s our mission to provide our services to our customers. Taking pride in our work and helping the communities. Based out of Princeton, MN. We service within a 70 mile radius from our shop. We offer masonry services along with junk removal and freight transport services.
"Flawless execution. They moved me out and in. I have some enormous pieces that they moved without any damages. This move included 2 vehicles. Artwork and valuables we're well cared for. All I had to do was do direct where boxes and such went. I'd hire them again."
"We determined that the tree needed to be removed ASAP. I called All Season's Tree Service on Monday morning and asked for an estimate. Larry came later in the morning and gave us an estimate. We did not receive timely bids from the others we asked. The estimate we received from Larry was reasonable. We said we would like to go ahead with All Season's. The next morning, Tuesday, three men came with their equipment. They went about their work in a very professional manner. The tree was methodically removed with no damage to our property! Cleanup was fantastic!! You would hardly know there had been a tree in our front yard. I would highly recommend All Season's Tree Removal!!!"
"They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with their service. Here's an example: we hadn't reached our 2-hour minimum after moving the table into the house, so they stayed and helped me put the table together. After securing over 20 bolts into the table there was still 15 minutes left, so they helped me take the packaging (cardboard + styrofoam) to the garbage. Thank you On Call Services, I will use your service again."
"We used this moving company to move out of our old home into a storage unit a month ago and everything went great. I couldn't be more impressed with a moving company. Our second experience with this company did not disappoint either. We were lucky enough to have the same group of 4 guys working this time as we did when we moved out. Every single one of them were punctual, professional and some of the hardest workers I've ever seen. They were constantly moving quickly, efficiently and carefully (not to damage any of our things or the walls, floors, etc of our new home). We had a couple of really difficult items to move down a narrow staircase and the guys carefully planned it out and executed it flawlessly. I've recommended this company half a dozen times to people I know that are moving just in the past month. While I plan to NEVER move again, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this moving company to absolutely anyone. If you want a stress free experience during a stressful (face it) time - Above the Crowd is the way to go. Thank you again guys - we couldn't be happier."
"John and his colleagues at Lighthouse Moving took care of my needs when moving to an apartment. They were considerate and quick to get my items loaded and unloaded at my new home. My furniture was well taken care of and loaded safely on their moving truck. I was very impressed with their efficiency and their prices! Give John a call if you have any moving needs."
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.
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.
Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.
Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire disposal.
These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly when you replace your garbage disposal. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.
