"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.

"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!!!"

"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.

"I'm really pleased with the fence installed by P Sqrd. Phil was quick to respond from the initial measurement and quote stages through to the end of the installation. I especially appreciated that he put together the order and emailed me the cart so that I could easily pay at the store without having to figure out exactly what items I needed. He also made an extra effort to see if he could get better pricing for me, which was very thoughtful. On the day of the installation, there were four guys who took care of everything, and I appreciated that so many people were available as it meant the job took very little time. I am really happy with my fence and would definitely recommend P Sqrd."

Home Crafters are very professional.  They were the first, after I had called 20-25 roofers, to actually call me back and give me an estimate.  They told me that they would not be the cheapest but they would do the work by the end of the year like I wanted and do a professional job. 

The main roof of the house had cracked shingles and looked ragged.  There were no leaks nor evidence of water leakage inside.  It had 2 layers of shingles on it.

Their estimate included:
- removal of existing material to roof decking,
- inspect deck and replace boards if required for an extra charge,
- Install 30 lb roofing felt,
- install 30 linear feet of ice and water sheild,
- install all new flashing,
- install new 30 year shingles,
- Install new aluminum fascia in front,
- install new aluminum gutter in front.

Total cost was to be $ 8225.00. 

The main reason I did not hire them was that I could not get over the fact that installing the gutter added $ 900.00 to the total cost. I thought gutter installation should have been cheaper.  It turns out that if I would have hired them I would have had the work done by December like I wanted instead of January-February.

I would definitely give these guys a chance in the future. They seem like real professionals.

"I debated writing this review for a while. I hired SL Contractors based on the reviews and meeting Willis. I wish the ending had a better story but feel I need to share my experience so others may be warned. I’ll start with the positive. Willis genuinely seems like a nice person and the floors came out beautiful. Now for the not so positive. Willis was consistently late. Every appointment he showed up late, this should have raised a red flag for me but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. My project was way behind schedule and over budget. He originally told me 1 ½ weeks. I had told him I needed to go out of town for business on 3 separate dates and we built those days into the scope of work from the start. I ended up cancelling 2 of the 3 trips to give him extra time. He still went past the agreed date by an additional week and half. He worked alone for the majority of the project and would show up on most days between 11-1 leaving around 5. Half way through the project he gave me a slip for additional work/materials. None of which we discussed prior or I had any idea was coming. I sent him an email saying I was concerned and needed to ensure no more surprises and we had to stay on budget. He said the additional materials was because I had selected a more expensive granite for the countertops. I was a bit confused as I had told him from the very start what granite I wanted and we met at the granite yard to select the slab (he was almost 2 hours late for the appointment). The granite was scheduled for a Friday when I was going to be out of town for the last trip which I absolutely could not cancel but I changed my flight and came home the night prior to accommodate. However, he ordered the wrong sink and had to reschedule the granite install which I found out during the trip so I changed my flight for nothing. He told me he scheduled the install for the following Friday. The Tuesday night prior to the Friday new install date I told him I had an early appointment Wednesday I could not miss and he needed to be here because additional hardwood was being delivered, he had estimated incorrect square footage and I had to order more (which he agreed to pay half for the additional materials). He said he would be here. As I was walking out the door for the appointment the granite installers were just about to knock on the door. No sign of Willis. They said the install was scheduled for Wednesday not Friday. I called Willis and he said he was on his way and would be there in 45 min. He showed up about 1 ½ hrs later and the installers had left. He did have them come back in the afternoon. However, when they arrived they showed me the invoice to show me the install date. The invoice was for about half what was in the proposal with the contract but the square footage was more. Willis had calculated the square footage incorrectly for the granite as well as the flooring. At the end of the project he had more additional charges. I pointed out the difference in granite price which with the additional he was trying to charge me was well over double. I understand a mark up so he can cover his costs and for his time organizing however over double is not fair. He tried to say he had to demo the old countertops but again I pointed out that was already a line item. He also tried to charge me for a faucet but I had went out and bought the faucets for the powder room and kitchen myself. We discussed and I thought we came up with a fair agreement where we split the additional costs and we both felt comfortable, I still feel his miscalculations should not be put on me but I didn’t want to be unreasonable. Again, he was way over the contracted date of completion and still over our agreed upon cost. He told me he would call for the dumpster pick up and it would be removed within 3 days. After 4 days I texted him letting him know it wasn’t picked up and that once I had a painter I would send him pictures of the before/after. He responded with “ok”. I sent another text the next day asking for the number of the company for the dumpster as it wasn’t picked up and got no response. I waited 2 days and then sent a text again, no response. I called him and got voicemail. I then got a call from someone saying Willis was not authorized to deduct the amount we had agreed upon and therefore they cancelled the dumpster pick up and I would need to take care of it myself, both cost and scheduling. She wouldn’t give me a number or even the name of the company. She said Willis had given me a discount already. However the discount did not come close to the additional charges for his miscalculations. She also mentioned he didn’t charge me for the additional labor. I explained we had a contracted end date so the additional time was not my fault and he miscalculated that too. There were some additional line items I did agree to pay because again, I wanted to be fair. For example, he added costs for putting the baseboards back on and rehanging closet doors which I thought should be included but let that go as it was not specified in the agreement so I felt that was on me, there were a few other little things I just said okay on. I looked up online the dumpster pickup and called them. I found out that he had over filled the dumpster bags and I would need to order another bag and remove the overflow myself. This was the final straw for me. I was not going to write a review at all and let it go but I feel others should be informed when making the decision to hire Willis. Again, his work seems great but I question a contractor that miscalculates measurements at every turn and tries to over charge for his mistakes. Also to not even tell me they were canceling the dumpster (which was a line item in our agreement) was just outright dishonest and unfair. Now I am concerned that if anything goes wrong with the flooring he won’t make it right. It is disappointing to end the project with doubt and mistrust."

"I had put the project off for a long time because I was on sabbatical.  They said it was not a problem and did the job about four or five months later.  They came and did what I asked them to do.  The guy was a little bit hesitant to do it from the inside and wanted to do it from the outside.  I took him downstairs and the place inside. He got the work done.  He got to a point where he said that he saw a problem.  But there was no problem with the sewage flowing through.  I asked them to give me an estimate for what might be their charges.  But I never heard back from them."

"This is by far the best experience with a mere estimate I've ever had. First trip, their rep sent a camera down my line, and found a serious blockage that the previous day's snaking (performed by a different company) had missed. Once the blockage had been cleared, he came back, confirmed all was well ... and then recommended AGAINST anything that would require me to pay him money. After two FREE visits that proved instrumental in diagnosing and correcting a serious blockage in my sewer, he actually recommended that I take no further action and just hydro-jet it every other year. Remarkable service, honesty, and professionalism. These guys are now #1 on my list of people to turn to if I even need help with my sewer."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it’s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it’s working about 10 minutes later.

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.

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.

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.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.
