"He responded to call for help within 2 hours and came to look at the problem about 3 hours later. Very good response. He scheduled the repair. He showed up on time, worked hard to reroute the pipe so we wouldn't have to break the slab and finished the job in about 5 hours. Quick work. He then got us a new faucet that matched our request exactly and installed it. Also quick work. He was courteous and friendly at all times. He cleaned up after the job was finished and left satisfied customers."

"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.)

Cesar and Brandon arrived on schedule and completed the job within 90 minutes.  Very friendly and professional representatives of Service Man Services.  Offered to check our AC unit as part of their service, but we declined because our unit was newly installed less than three weeks ago.  If anyone needs routine duct cleaning, I recommend calling Service Man Services.

"Very pleased with this first-time experience with Mark Masters General Contractors. The plumber, Seth Funkhouser, was prompt, courteous, listened patiently, discussed the possible problems, and explained the solution step-by-step. The sink/disposal and dishwasher are all performing perfectly. High confidence in this vendor. Now planning to consult with them about additional remodeling projects."

"Excellent job replacing bad wood with siding of slightly different type but blended in very well. Gutter installed and painting done. Looks great. They previously rebuilt the deck and did a great job there too."

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 the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should repair or replace your garbage disposal, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.

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.

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.
