"Overall, it went pretty well. I took a while to decide on which of the colours and edging I wanted; they did a good job of following up and reminding me. Since this work is for a house I'm renting, I wasn't always able to get measurements quickly. There were some quirks. The Big Deal price doesn't include removal and disposal of the old countertop; that was an additional $300. It also doesn't include the re-attachment of the sink as they don't do that work so I needed to get a plumber involved. To be fair, both of these were disclosed in the Big Deal and by them afterwards. Since this is template-based, I went out to the house and met an installer who created the template. He worked quickly but, unfortunately, his English was rather limited and several times during the entire project, he had to call their main office and hand me the phone so I could talk to someone there instead. This slowed down the process and made the interactions feel clumsy. On a positive note, they do care about the work; I had decided on 1/4" bevel edging and the main office called back and said that that edging has a higher risk of chipping and, since this is a rental, I should go with the 3/8" round instead, which I did. Since I was reusing my old sink, they brought the slab in and cut the hole for it on-site but used a vacuum and cleaned up the dust quite well. They also lowered the slide-in sink since the new countertop are thinner than the old one. This was after yet another back-and-forth conversation that resulted in a phone call to the main office so they could tell me they would do the work but wouldn't be liable for any resulting damage; there was none. The result looks good and once I get the sink re-attached, all will be well. There are still a couple of minor issues but it is a worthwhile upgrade."

"We came home from vacation to very stormy weather.  We found that our garage wall and top corner of the ceiling where the garage meets the house was WET.  We looked for someone on Angie's List to provide us with an estimate on repairing whatever damage might be up there causing this problem.  Due to three top-notch reviews, we called T&T Construction on a Friday.  David Turner (owner) answered my call and we agreed that he would come out at 10:00 Monday morning to take a look at the roof/siding.  Mr. Turner was punctual and got straight to business taking apart our siding trying to figure out what was causing our problem.  He told me that if for some reason he couldn't find the problem, that he would put everything back the way it was before proceeding.  We did, in fact, have what appeared to be hail damage to our siding and roofing. Mr. Turner gave us several options for how he could proceed with the work and an estimate.  We agreed on the estimate and, much to my surprise, Mr. Turner said he and the one man crew he had with him could get the house repaired by that evening.  My husband inspected the roof and siding upon completion and was satisfied that they had done exactly what they had indicated in their estimate.  Mr. Turner worked neatly during the job and cleaned up his equipment and other scraps VERY well after the job was done.  At the end of his work, he even offered to clean fingerprints left on the new siding during installation.  Upon request, he also attempted to fix a siding problem in the back of our home after the roofing job was completed, but not having any additional siding material, he was unable to correct the problem.  He DID put everything back in place as it was. My husband and I were very pleased with his professionalism and work ethic and would be happy to recommend him and use his services again in the future.

"I could not recommend Harold's Enterprises more highly. I reached out to Harold based on his listing on Angie's List before I bought my home--free of charge, he took a look at the roof on a property I was considering buying--giving me an estimate and advice. His help led me to find that the sellers were dishonest about the condition of and work done on their roof, and I purchased a different property in Hudson, NY. My home is a 1927 Craftsman that needed quite a bit of work. I hired Harold based on his honesty and responsiveness in helping me evaluate the first property. True to form, his estimate and ultimate cost to repaint the entire interior, repair and sheetrock floors and ceilings, refinish and replace hardwood floors, completely remodel a bathroom, rewire and install light fixtures, match original woodworking, install cabinetry, windows, and appliances, and even assist with installing new furniture, were more than reasonable. Better yet, the quality of his work was of the highest caliber. He has restored and improved a lovely home, and I am so thankful! I have to say that most of all, I am so happy with Harold's professionalism and diligence. Not every contractor is known for staying on the job and completing it on time. Especially in my situation, where I am a single woman trying to restore a second home when I live out of state--I assumed I would have difficulty in getting any contractor to be present and complete the job on time. However, this was never a problem. Harold was always there, was immediately responsive, and never slacked off when I wasn't there. I plan to work with Harold as much as possible in the future as I continue to improve my Hudson home. I recommend him very highly."

"Fair, honest & reliable. We called on a Sunday evening about our broken disposal. They called us back early Monday morning and came that afternoon. Turns out the disposal was clogged and just needed to be cleaned out. We were very happy with the punctuality and service. Only issue was when I saw the bill I was surprised the total came to over $140 dollars, which was only for labor which they charge $88/hour. The man was here about 20-30 minutes but the bill said 1.5 hours. I called to inquire about the bill and found out they charge for driving distance. Michael told me that someone should have let me know that ahead of time and I agreed. We agreed on $115 total. I am happy with that."

"North Country PHC was a great choice for me.  You should consider it, too.
After the first winter in my recently purchased 1870's vintage house, it was clear that the patchworked heating system, aging and inefficient, was a big problem.  Upstairs had circulating hot water, poorly installed.  Downstairs had old electric baseboards.  There are no ducts anywhere in the house.  What to do?  Call experts!  Several 'experts' then made proposals that fell short in a variety of ways.  
I met Matthew and Karlene Gucker, the owners of North Country PHC, at a home show.  They listened and told me they very much wanted an opportunity to make a proposal.  They followed up in writing to underscore their interest in my job.  As I had liked them immediately, I made an appointment and hoped they would deliver a quality proposal.  
Matthew arrived at the appointed time, toured my house, listened carefully to my goals, took his time and made careful notes.  Before departing, he told me in detail how he would address the problems I had identified, showed me some problems I had not seen with my inexperienced eye, and explained how he would address all my goals for this big job.  He even significantly reduced the cost of the job by salvaging the hot water circulating system by correcting the offending plumbing problems in its installation.  His was, by far, the best response I had received.  
He quickly followed up with a detailed written proposal that outlined the work, the equipment, the time frame and a meaningful breakdown of the costs.  
North Country removed one decrepit boiler and two very old gas water heaters.  In their place, I received one modern energy efficient combination boiler that heats the entire house, as well as provides potable hot water.  The upstairs hot water circulating system now works perfectly.  The old, offending plumbing that held it together is gone and new, properly installed plumbing has  it all working like a dream.  Downstairs, the house is heated by a radiant system that was readily installed from the basement.  The house is warm.  The boiler is silent and costs less than its predecessor to operate.  I have all the hot water I can use.  Mission Accomplished!
During the installation, one of the company's crew members was hospitalized.  No one could reasonably foresee this would happen.  Matthew and Karlene immediately informed me and ensured that it created no greater delay in my job than was absolutely unavoidable.  The communication from them both was excellent and the inconvenience to me was almost non-existent. They made sure I was never without heat or hot water.  The entire delay lasted no more than a few days.  For me, it amounted to no problem at all, but only because of the pro-active response from Matthew and Karlene.  This could happen to any employer at any time, but not all of them would handle it as well as North Country did.  Their attentiveness to the matter was excellent and much appreciated.
I always felt I was in good hands during this large job. My confidence never wavered that I was getting a great result.  I was rarely without heat or hot water, and then only for a matter of a few hours when essential, relevant work was being performed.  
I subsequently had other contractors in the house to perform some work unrelated to the heating upgrade.  I had to nudge them away from their enthusiastic examination of the work Matthew had done.  They were greatly impressed.  When the inspector from the local department of buildings came to review the finished work, he was also most enthusiastic about it.  He told me, "I never see work this good.  You got great work done here."  
Matthew has been back twice, at no cost to me, to check the work and make some small adjustments.  I don't know how this job could have been better.  Thank you, Matthew.  Thank you, Karlene.  
If you have plumbing or heating work to do, Matthew Gucker's expert input should be sought and carefully considered.  North Country PHC delivers.

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.

It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.
