"The main project (bathroom floor replacement, which was the original reason we hired MTH), and the side projects, went exceptionally well. Serge and Nick did an outstanding job.

Serge was affable and courteous. That was my wife's and my impression of Serge when we first met him. Unlike another contractor we interviewed for the project, Serge never tried to convince us to do more than what we wanted done. We explained to him the repairs that needed to be made, he understood them, and suggested on how best to address them.

The day after our initial meeting, and about a week before the project's start date, Serge emailed to us a contract that spelled out the work required, the cost of labor,  the payment schedule (no payment upfront; in fact, we paid a big chunk, about 40% of the total cost, after the projects were completed), and other terms of the contract. The cost of materials was not stated on the contract, but Serge gave us an estimate during our first meeting. We went over the estimate because of the side projects that we added later.

Serge regularly updated us on their progress and he gave us copies of the receipts for the materials he purchased. We knew where we stood.

The member of Serge's team who did most of the work was Nick. My wife and I were home for the duration of the projects, so we were somewhat aware of what he was working on at any given moment. We often wondered if he took breaks or ate lunch because he was constantly "on the clock." His diligence, and the quality of his work, which was first-rate, were commendable.

Nick did everything: tiling, drywall repair, painting, carpentry, plumbing, molding installation. He was a master of many. He did all those things while keeping the work area, and surrounding parts of the house, clean.

You can count my wife and me as another satisfied customer of My Town Handyman. We highly recommend Serge and his crew for your next home improvement project."

"I've had them for probably a year. I had to have them come out once and they were very good. They were excellent. They did what they said. One of the things they fixed didn't work so well and they came back immediately. It was on a garbage disposal, but they were excellent. I haven't run into any problems. The quality of work is excellent. Nice people come out. It was fine. Everything worked out really well with them. I wish it was cheaper, but what am I going to do? It's within my reach. I'm retired and I don't have a budget. It's still reachable. It's understandable, even though you don't want that."

"Everything went great. We were told about N&Z by a friend. And omgggg. Thank you with all the rain we have had our roof literally was garbage. They tore off all our old roofing cleaned up Everything from that mess. And put a whole new roof on our 2200sq roof. They did it fast and let me just say their prices cannot be beat. I also hired them to do a weekly cleaning in my house. Which so far has been the best and biggest help. Highly recommended"

Install Garbage Disposal 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.

Your garbage disposal is not draining because it might have a clog due to food waste, a foreign object, grease, oil, fat, or it may have a broken motor. When water doesn't flush out of the disposal, that's a key sign that your disposal has a clog or needs repair. 

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.

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.

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.
