"Miller and his colleagues were able to do a lot of things quickly. Along with everything else, they also grabbed some old furniture that I needed help moving to the curb. They took several cares to make sure nothing was damaged during the move, including wrapping the furniture, turning off all the lights, and packaging the picture frames."

"The foundation work was excellent.  Mark, the owner, had a team at our house in a timely manner.  They dug to bedrock and poured pilings.  They cleaned up after themselves and my husband I literally watched the cracks in our walls close.  It was amazing.  We found Mark to be professional and fair. I'd recommend his company to anyone.  That said, when we had a roof problem, we called Mark for a roofer recommendation. We were thrilled to learn that he was in the roofing business and again he came to our house promptly, gave us an estimate, and got to work.  The house has a flat roof, so not many are interested in the work.  Mark used a new product.  It's a foam base and works like a charm.  The roof has actually insulated the house, making it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.  Again, my husband and I were thrilled with the work ethic and the product."

"Very responsive, squeezed me in last minute at the end of their day on a Friday afternoon. The young lady that helped clean that day seemed a little under the weather to boot, but she toughed it out. Probably wasn't their best work given the circumstances, but we'd have them back. Thanks! :)

"I have dealt with a lot of contractors over the years but none have been as thorough and professional as Chip! It was a pleasure working with him. Fantastic job at a price I couldn’t pass on. Chip and crew has a work ethic I haven’t seen in a long time. If you need some work done give Chip a call. He delivers great results at a fair price and the finished results are incredible."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.

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.

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.

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.

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.
