"Two professional installers. Done in one day.  If only one person had been there for the install it would have been a 2.5 day job. With two people the job was completed in one day. I bought their recommended Amana furnace/AC. They were personable and interacted well when I had questions. If one person had been there it would have been a 2.5 day job. The unit worked the first time they turned it on and is a significant improvement. At the end of the job they thoroughly cleaned the area. And no up front money which indicated a well run business.
I had been told about other people who installed furnaces but I am confident that they were horror stories waiting to happen. This job required experienced workers. I may have paid more, but I may have ended up with a low quality (cheaper) unit as well as delays while the installer dealt with personal issues or disappeared.
This is the third time I have used Giant and each instance was totally satisfactory.
Note: I typed a more detailed review but this site caused text to disappear for no obvious reason.

"I called Ray around 9:30 pm and he answered the phone right away. I told him several lights had been flickering and when I had gone downstairs I discovered that the breaker box was emitting a burning smell. He said he would be right over. Ray arrived shortly thereafter and diagnosed the problem - Two bad breakers with loose tabs which caused arching and heated up the buss bar. Since the service cable was old and the panel had burnt buss bars it was necessary for these to be replaced. Ray did not have the components necessary to do the repair that evening. I told him that I had plans to go on vacation the next morning and now wondered if I could go at all or for it to be delayed (fortunately this all happened the evening before I had left). He said he would come back first thing in the morning to do the work so that I could leave for vacation but made sure it would be safe before he left. And, if I did notice any more burning to call him right away (which I did not). Ray and his co-worker arrived by 7 am and performed the work. In addition, Ray also installed a new light fixture in the kitchen (ironically, I had called him earlier in the day (mid-afternoon) to do this work but he was so swamped that he could not fit me in, which I understood completely and it was not an emergency. So, I had already found his company off of Angie's List at that time).  Anyway, all the work was  finished well before noon and it was now safe to leave for vacation. Ray was extremely nice as well as professional and I am very thankful that he could help me, even though he had a long day. Ray and his co-worker made sure everything was cleaned up when they left. I would not hesitate to call him again (and intend to do so since I already have another job for him to do)."

"They were highly personable, professional, quick, and they did a very neat and clean job. I would recommend them without reservation if you need a basic wooden fence that is well built and nicely installed. Every part of the experience was actually pleasant....so rare!"

"Willis Washington of SL Contractors is a skilled craftsman. His finished Work is excellent and he pays attention to every detail. He is very intuitive and anticipates most any situation, and he can figure out a solution to anything. He takes real pride in his work and his efforts show. His abilities are many: cabinet installation, counter tops, hardwood and tile flooring, electrical and lighting, painting, trim. We couldn't be happier with our kitchen remodel. We would hire SL Contractors again to also do our bathrooms. I highly recommend SL Contractors."

"DR had a special on shower heads and we ordered one. They were prompt and professional with the installation. However, we had a number of other issues that we discusses for future plumbing projects (toilet, diverter in upstairs shower) etc. and after he took various measurements the installer said his office would be getting back to us with estimates for that additional work. We never heard back, even after we left two messages.

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

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.

The two main negatives of garbage disposals are they are a safety hazard in homes with children, and they frequently encounter blockage issues. While they might be annoying to fix and monitor, garbage disposals can significantly lower your trash use and are a great way to dispose of organic waste. While there are negatives, the vast majority of homeowners acknowledge the positives are enough to install a disposal in their home. 

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.

The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can’t easily see clogs if they’re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can’t see the clog easily, and running the unit won’t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. 

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.
