"He came and replaced a part that did not fix it. Took part with him. He came back and charged me another almost $300 for a new sump pump which I should have gotten the first time he came. I feel I paid twice. Too much money."

"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

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.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

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.

Soil is just one of the items you shouldn't put down a garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are only meant for soft, non-fibrous foods. Large amounts of topsoil, dirt, or rocks will damage the blades of your garbage disposal or clog the pipes. If a small amount of dirt goes down the drain as you repot a plant, you shouldn't have to worry, but never dump a whole pot of soil in the sink for fast disposal.

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.
