"When we originally contacted Cliff Morgan, I had to leave a voice mail.  He called me back within a couple of hours, and agreed to come take a look at the leak in addition to providing a free estimate.  He arrived on time and was very professional.  After listening to various water sources (sinks, shower, outdoor spigot, etc), he believed the leak was between the sink and the shower in one of the bathrooms.  He gave me a couple of leak scenarios and the associated repairs that would be done along with a best case estimate and a worst case estimate (noting that the cost could exceed the worst case if there was something that could not be foreseen with the repair).  He was available to do the work the next day, so we agreed. 
He called the next morning to let me know he was on his way and arrived on time.  He spent time methodically testing the water lines to pin point the offending pipe.  As he originally thought, the leak was on the cold side between the sink and shower in one of the bathrooms.  The repair was effective and efficient and he explained everything that he was doing.  The pieces cut out of the walls were small and neatly done.
Best of all, the total bill was actually *less* than the best case scenario quote, which was great news.
While we hope we never see him again (we don't need any more slab leaks!), we would not hesitate to contact him again.  Additionally, we'd highly recommend him.to anyone that needs his services.  If all contractors were like Cliff, home repair/update projects would be *far* less frustrating!

"Installation was great. The service guys were excellent. The salesperson left out a few important details such as the discounts we were able to eventually get and the communication between the service guys and the salesperson was lacking."

"Youngs called 20 minutes before the scheduled appointment to let me know the technician was on his way. He arrived on time, was courteous and unclogged the kitchen drain line within minutes. This company is contacted with my home warranty service so I cannot comment on their actual price for service, but well worth my $75 fee.

"I had a different company out to diagnose a problem with the
rain sensor on my irrigation system.
That company?s technician found the sensor bypass switch on
the control panel on.
He told me that was the reason the sensor was not working
and apparently stopped his diagnosis there.
That next weekend I found that the sensor was indeed not
working and that was probably the reason the bypass switch was on.
I decided to try to replace the sensor myself and bought a
new sensor at Home Depot. (The Home Depot sensor was only $40.00 and the other
company was going to charge well over $200.00 to replace it.)
While I was attempting to install the new sensor I
accidentally touched the power terminals with the sensor wires, which caused a
spark.
The control panel went blank.
I initially had thought that the problem might have been a
circuit breaker or GFCI.
After checking the breaker box and all the GFCIs I could
find I was pretty sure it was the transformer in the control panel. (The
voltage in the panel is 24 volts and since it was wired directly into the 110
volt breaker box I knew there must be some sort of transformer in the control
panel.)
The control panel is mounted outside and is wired directly
into the circuit breaker box. I knew I had no business attempting to replace
the control panel.
I called H20 Sprinkler Systems on Monday.
They told me they could be out on Wednesday morning or
possibly Tuesday afternoon.
I told them we had family coming Tuesday afternoon so
Wednesday morning would actually be better.
The technician arrived a few minutes before his scheduled
arrival time of 8:00 AM.
He quickly told me that the controller had been ?fried? (my
term.)
He was able to install a new controller.
As he was about to connect the rain sensor (which I had just
bought at Home Depot) he warned me that those models are sometimes problematic.
Since I thought I would be able to return the sensor to Home
Depot, I had him go ahead and install a better sensor.
His sensor was $189.00 so it was quite a bit more than the
Home Depot model, but almost $100.00 less than the model offered by the other
company.
To be honest, I always wonder when someone suggests an
upgrade if they are totally honest or just pushing for more sales.
The installation took less than an hour and the total bill
was $478.00 ($200.00 for controller, $179.00 for sensor, and $89.00 for one
hour of labor and service call.)

"The process was quick and easy, but I was expecting less mess. I was assured everything was getting sucked into a bin in their truck, but black ick blew out of every vent during the process. We had just painted and thank goodness, had not had the new carpets installed yet, but it was a big mess. The guys cleaned up as best as they could and they were both really professional and kind, but it was messier than I expected. I will be doing this every 3 years, as the guys recommended and the house feels and smells so much better. Totally worth it. Just be prepared and cover everything like you are having painters!

"On the shower, They made it easy on me and did a great job. Owner is great to work with. On air conditioning, I had 4 other companies come out to look at my unit that was running constantly and not cooling well. They charged me for wrong issues and didn’t fix it. Mr Callahan immediately figured out that the company that installed the new unit put in a valve backwards. I highly recommend them for air conditioning work. I will use them from now on."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

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.

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.

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.

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.
