Bob and his team worked very efficiently and professionally. And were always friendly and gave me great instructions and information during and after the semi remodel. The start of the project began with the electrician who installed the new vent/light for the shower and also corrected the electricity for an outlet(that was extra), Bob and his team then came in to do the tear out of the water damaged walls surrounding the tub down to the studs. The plumber was then scheduled to install the new anti scald plumbing after which the crew was back to refinish the tub from pink to white and then install new insulation, waterproof drywall and the new tub surround. I did purchase a new vanity and lighting for the bathroom which Bob picked up the vanity for me from Lowe's. The last detail was his tile crew did a great job refitting the bathroom tile to meet the new tub surround. My home was never left a mess, everyday they cleaned up after themselves and were usually always on time. This all took approximately 5 days. I am very happy with the results.
"Amazing job with the shower plumbing repair, shower fixture installation and tile repair. He even completed some additional plumbing/electrical work while at our place. Very thorough, honest and punctual! 5 stars!"
"This review is solely about the installation portion of the Puronics Water Treatment System since it was just installed today. The install team arrived on time, ready to go to work. The location of my main water line was tricky to get to, but they found a great solution to tap into the line via a drop-ceiling access point. They located the Hydronex Water Conditioning Cylinder and Salt Backflush Container exactly where I wanted it. Their work was clean, tight, and very professional. The RO system was backordered, so they explained that they will return within the week to install that portion of the project. They prepped for the RO install by drilling and installing the faucet in my granite countertop. After the install, they explained the whole system to my wife and I and we were up and running with conditioned water. I can't say enough about my experience with Chuck on the initial phone call, Miles who provided the water testing and sold me the system, and Ryan who installed the system. So far, I can't envision any issues that might arise with Orbit Water Solutions since they have provided outstanding service to this point!"
"Let me say that I purchased the deal of 4 hours for $179. Galen went and purchased the light fixtures and wood for the door and we had an additional 2 hours so that's why the total was $587. Galen arrived with his crew and they went to work. I am so pleased with everything they did. I am thrilled to have found Keenan Handyman Services and will definitely call them again. I am looking to have them install a garage door opener, paint the interior of my house and add on to my deck. They just did a fantastic job and I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know. Thanks for a job well done!!!"
"For services performed 06/11/2020. Let me begin by saying I never write reviews but felt compelled to write this one. I usually do all my own plumbing and have cleaned out & snaked sewers several times because I could only find one plumber whose work and prices I trusted and he died 20 years ago. Our basement laundry floor drains were getting slow because the last time I cleaned them was in 2005. I did not have the time, inclination, or a truck to pick up an auger so decided I would give Angie's List members a try. On 06/09/2020, I sent requests to four (4) of their top rated sewer cleaning specialists but did not hear from 2, and heard from a third one weeks later. Bucci & Son were my last choice and added as a just in case after-thought. I cannot state how glad I am that I included them in my requests. Bob, the owner of Bucci & Son called me and left a message that same day stating they could take care of it on my time schedule. I did not return his call until early 06/11/2020. Bob quoted me a price that was more than fair and reasonable. I was apprehensive because the last plumber I paid to perform this on one of my rentals because it was an emergency quoted a price but it changed mid-job and he really stuck it to me. Bob sent his son & a helper out that afternoon to snake and hydro-wash the basement drains. To put it simply, they were courteous, quick, efficient, performed all the services I requested, answered all my questions, and did everything short of running a camera to demonstrate the cleaning was fully successful. They did not make a mess and cleaned up after themselves. I was so pleased with their work on the sewer that I discussed having them do work I wanted performed in the fall on my furnace boiler (I am highly displeased with the last "boiler expert" that worked on it.) I do think I have found a plumber again whose work and pricing I can trust. Interesting coincidence is the last one was also named Bob."
"Had a problem with one GFI plug in lower level, when it tripped it took out the power in all four bathrooms as well as garage. We called Ray late Friday afternoon. Saturday morning he returned call. He took the time to explain what he could do and quoted his cost. 30 minutes later he was at our door. 2 hours later he was finished and we no longer have a problem. In this day and age it is very refreshing to have a tradesman respond to a call as quickly as Ray did and have the work completed in a professional manor. When Ray was finished he double checked all he had done and explained in terms that I could understand. That was certainly appreciated. The year warranty was cream on top. I would recommend his services to anybody and have already recommended him to my brother in law for a ceiling fan install. "
"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!"
"“ I highly recommend handyman Services, The product quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time” I’m completely impressed with their professionalism and very trustworthy!!"
Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren’t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.
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.
It’s one thing that helps, alongside vinegar and baking soda. Ice acts as an exfoliant, helping to lift off any bits of food stuck on the disposal blades.
