"Very smooth install. Ed was nice, personable, and timely. He installed the solar lights efficiently and correctly. And they function perfectly. Fee was very reasonable as well. He’s agreed to install similar lights next weekend at our daughter’s home located about 10 minutes away. We’re in the market for a new handyman, so would not hesitate to contact Ed again. Thank you."
"Tommy was on time for his 30 minutes appointment window and went straight to work. I initially purchased a replacement garbage disposal with install via the Angie's List to replace an 18 year old unit that was original to my condo. Tommy had it swapped out and tested in about 15 minutes. He also found a leak within the sink faucet that was dripping into the cabinet below and was able to replace two O-rings within the faucet that stopped the leak. The faucet repair was only $35 since he was already there. He offers a 90 day warranty on his labor if you find any leaks or drips and the disposal comes with a two year warranty. I would recommend Tommy and would use him again."
"Joe answered the phone on a Sunday afternoon and set the appointment for the next day. He was punctual and went straight to work. The replacement of the faucet, garbage disposal and sink went well without any hiccups. He also found a link in the main drain and repaired it. We purchased a "big deal" and he completed the work in the time within the time frame. We would definitely use Joe again for our plumbing needs! "
"Two man team. First arrived a bit early to set up, second came a few minutes later. Originally estimated the work would take an hour (camera, jet, camera again), but Ty spent a bit longer making sure the job was done right. Provided clear explanation and recommendations about what to do next. Cleaned up after completing the job. Ty was the only person to enter the residence. He removed his shoes and did not wear a mask. We didn't discuss either of these."
"Fine. The only negative was heavy drain cleaning machines placed on a newly painted cement basement floor (without a protective floor cover beneath the machines) caused several small spots of lifted paint, otherwise the job went well."
"Arrived on time and was given 1/2 hour notice prior to plumber showing up. Evaluated work that needed to be done and gave me options to help reduce cost. They use flat rate pricing, so there is no surprise costs at the end. Final quote was about 40% less than other quotes we received, so I had him begin work right away since he was available. Installed all new plumbing fixtures under kitchen sink including shut off valves and drain pipes."
"I returned from a two-week vacation to find the top floor of my condo flooded and damage to the ceiling on the floor below. There was no obvious source of the leak. I called other plumbers, but Clive Stephens was the only one who was able to come out that day and help me. I'm not in his usual service area, but when I told him a previous customer recommended him, and the plumber he referred me to couldn't fit me in for 5 days, he was able to come out that evening. He found the leak (a cracked toilet tank) and isolated it so I could have water in the rest of the house. Mr. Stephens was courteous and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs plumbing services. We made arrangements for him to return and replace the toilet as well the garbage disposal in my kitchen that was not working. Unfortunately, he suffers from cat allergies and will not be able to return. "
Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts
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.
Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.
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.
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.
On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.
