21 employees. No subs. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. No service fee. No after hours charge.

"Very well ! Michael and his crew ( 5) all are very polite, professional and detail oriented in their work assignment. The crew worked all day with Michael's supervision, and asked us of any concern or questions that we might have. I read great reviews prior to engaging them - their collaboration with each member of the group has proven their professionalism. I waited 2 weeks to write this review in order to observe if any leaks or other concern that might arise. Prior to the start of the workday the crew covered all areas that might be soiled while they work & at the end of the day they cleaned the space thoroughly . This proves their professionalism. They started & finsihed the work within the specified time period mentioned by Michael Addisen. We definitely recommend them to our friends and neighbors and would like to engage them in our future home assignments."

Routine roof inspections are an essential for successful roof management and upkeep. We offer different levels to fit your needs. Additional website - www.langleyroofs.com. Additional DBA - Langley Roofing. Additional email - [email protected].

"Unprofessional and obtuse. I hired Langley Roofing to do the roof on my detached garage. They made a mistake, which they admitted, but unfortunately their attempts to fix it only made things worse. The only right way to fix it was to do it over, which obviously they didn't want to do. They wouldn't even agree to a discount. I'm sure they'll reply to this saying their fix was sufficient, but it wasn't. They know it wasn't; they just don't want to admit it because it would cost them. Langley has been a nightmare. Go with anyone else and save yourself some headache."

Tree Worx is located in Chattanooga, TN. At Tree Worx Arbor Services, our goal is to make your trees look as great as possible. Whether you would like to get a free assessment, trim up your trees, remove a dying tree, or plant a new one, we can do the job right every time!

"In a few weeks, the tree service team arrived. We conducted another yard walkdown for clarification, but I must say that Tree Worx seems to have closed all gaps between their sales and production efforts – the guys knew the job. The service team, Slaton, Esteban, and the two Johns were efficient, professional, and organized. They conducted all work in short order as promised and demonstrated great concern for our house and the rest of the yard. Clean-up was excellent and one would hardly know they were there at all except for our pretty, newly trimmed trees and the great street appearance of the house and yard. I highly recommend Tree Worx and will not hesitate for any of our future tree and yard needs. They do a lot more than trim trees, check out their webpage at treeworxllc.com. Lastly, I will add the costs were fair and well worth the work. Tree Worx included a military discount in the job – excellent. Job well done - thanks Tree Worx!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

Garbage disposals last an average of about 10 years, so it may be time for a new model if it's getting up there in age. Other signs that it's time to bring in a local garbage disposal pro include:

  • Leaks under your disposal

  • Persistent clogs

  • Lingering odors

  • Lack of power

  • Unexplained noises

No, you don’t need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without a garbage disposal. However, the two appliances pair well and are often installed together. It is rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn’t have a garbage disposal, but that doesn’t mean it's not possible. Each appliance serves its own purpose. 

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.

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.
