"Winston got in touch with me within 2 days of myself getting and paying for an Angie's List deal. Arrangements were made and he came 2 days after that and performed and completed the work in 3 hours. As a good note, he picked up all the necessary equipment including the disposal, which I asked him to do. Cleanup was O.K.

"Dishwasher and ceiling fan service was wonderful. Garbage disposal is on its way, the shower fixture was a little messy and have to return 3 times to fix, pray its the last time. But not Choice Warranty's fault. Alittle pricey but allows you to pay them out."

"First, the air conditioners were installed very well and looked like they were meant to be there. The air conditioners that were taken out were large, non-energy efficient air conditioners and Bob installed a decorative molding around the units - it looks like it should have been there since the condo was built. Then we called Bob and Lydia back to do some work on our kitchen. Bob did all of the work quickly, efficiently and neatly. Lydia gave us ideas for our cabinets and backsplash and they have turned out beautifully. Our cabinets and backsplash are always complimented when we show the condo to people. He worked through an entire weekend to get the kitchen cabinets for a tight countertop install deadline, which other contractors did not want to do. Best of all, their work is priced fairly and they do not hassle you for a huge deposit like other contractors do. Bob and Lydia are both a pleasure to work with, and if we flip another condo, we will be calling them in again. **NOTE: I put $0 in the approx. cost of service because we were billed per job, and these were spread out over the span of a few months. As I mentioned, their pricing is very fair and we were inclined to hire them over and over again."

"John arrived right on time.  After giving him my list, he went straight to work on the gutters.  He explained to me that the gutter guards I purchased did not fit properly and suggested I take them back (which I agreed).  He changed the 4 sensor lights which were on the roof and about 25 feet from the ground and then moved into the laundry room to replace the light fixture.  He saved the biggest problem for last...the kitchen sink.  After evaluating the sink and weighing his options, he finally had to call a plumber friend for advice.  The plumber friend suggested ordering a whole new faucet. (the faucet cost $275.00 mind you) John looked up the faucet on line, reviewed the breakdown of the parts and was able to see where the issue was that needed repairing.  After completing the sink repair, John completed the job by painting a wall in the bedroom.  Thank you John and I look forward to working with you in the near future!

"The materials were delivered late so the work got delayed. Tom stayed on top of the job and coordinated everything very well. To catch up on the job and beat the coming colder weather, his workers worked an entire weekend to get caught up because of the material delay from the vendor (not their responsibility.) When they hit a snag around the windows caused by the original installation, they found a way to work around the problem, I now have new exterior window mouldings which make the house look much better, His workers were extremely knowledgeable about replacing siding. Very experienced and professional work was done. Also very trustworthy guys. I left the house open while I was at work so they could use the bathroom. Tom also suggested that I side the large shed which is close to the house with the left over material. Good advice. It looks great."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

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.

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

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.
