"Over Mother’s Day Weekend, my present to my mom was a complete cleanout of her garage. This is a place that had accumulated 55+ years’ worth of junk as my father and his father before him were pack rats. Everything from rusty old tools to an old refrigerator to who-knows-what was in that garage. I had a company in mind to do the job: GMP. Christopher Quincer (owner) and his crew had done a great job disposing of some large items at my house last autumn. We called Christopher to set up an appointment and get a quote for the job on Saturday May 13. Turns out he was very willing to come out on Sunday and haul all of this stuff away. He actually showed up a bit early, in keeping with his Marine Corps training and went right to work, using both a truck and trailer dumpsters. All the stuff just about filled up both dumpers, and it took Christopher about 3 hours to finish. He didn’t rush but he didn’t dawdle; it was the perfect pace. Large items were removed easily, and even items inside cabinets were removed for disposal. He has a great demeanor and is very pleasant and personable. Christopher also cleaned up by sweeping out the entire garage after everything was removed. It was simply an awesome job that he did. The final price was within the estimate range that he gave us, and certainly reasonable for the amount of junk removed and for working on Mother's Day after only 18 hours of notice. I highly recommend GMP for junk removal, whether the job is large or small. I was extremely pleased from start to finish, and my octogenarian mother told me it was the best Mother’s Day present she could’ve had."

"I do not usually do reviews, but I do value other peoples reviews, so I figured I need to start contributing.  We have recently moved (hence the moving company) so I have called out numerous companies to help with jobs.  This is the only company that I have complaints about.
I called a couple of weeks before I needed the job done and was able to get my second choice of requested times for a weekend move.  Someone came out within a couple of days to survey the items that were being moved and presented me with a quote.  We were not moving any boxes, just big furniture.  We planned to do any tearing down/putting together that was necessary, and really only cared if a few specific pieces got moved... a piano and a very large armoire were the only 2 items we felt we couldn't move ourselves.  The consultant estimated this would be a 5 hour job and quoted a price of $785.  This seemed long and high to me since we had used similar type companies in previous moves and had never paid that much to have our entire house loaded onto a truck (a job that took about 7 hours by a couple of fast moving guys.  I asked about an hourly rate and was quoted $350 for 2 hours and $120 for each additional hour.  If you do the math, 5 hours going this route does not add up to $785.  We ended up agreeing to the hourly rates with a cap at $785... once again, I could not imagine how this job would take 5 hours!   My assumption at this point was that they would be slow to ensure the 5 hours, but since they got so many high reviews on Angie's list we decided to stick with them.
They showed up on time... even a little early... and seemed pleasant enough, the furniture was wrapped in plastic and handled well (for the most part),  but they turned out to be the slowest, laziest workers I have ever seen (and we have used this type of company at least 5 times)!!  Of the three man crew, one guy never left the back of the truck... just waited for furniture to arrive so he could place it properly... he did more waiting than placing.  The other two would come in the house and take a least a minute or two looking at the furniture before they even started to move it, then would slowly meander out to the truck.  After getting the piece on the truck, they would spend another couple minutes watching the guy arrange before moving on to another piece.  They would take a 5 minute smoke/phone break every 2-3 pieces.  After about an hour and a half they had only loaded about half of the furniture (which did not include any of the pieces we needed assistance with) and then told my husband they couldn't get it all on the truck (which was only half full) so they were going to unload and come back.  Now we were stuck keeping them over the 2-3 hours because they hadn't moved the items we needed help with.  Once they got to the other house (a mile away) they sat in their truck for at least 15 minutes... doing nothing!!  My husband finally went out and started unloading our dining room chairs.  After 4 hours they had finally loaded the second load and placed the piano in our new house.  They then started discussing what they were going to do with the armoire that we wanted upstairs.  It was determined that this crew would not be able to complete the task so they would terminate at this point with plans to come back with 6 guys on Monday or Tuesday for around a 60 charge.  We ended up paying $650 for 4.5 hours of work and a large armoire waiting in the garage.  That armoire is still in our garage and we have not heard a word back from them!

"Most of the large items had already been moved out by a larger company. There were several items that he disposed of and made 3 deliveries on our behalf. He took a dinning room table to a location and went out of his way to do that. He also took the bulk of the items to habitat for humanity to donate the furniture that my mother didn't want anymore. The last thing he did was took all the items that were junk and took them to the trash for us. He did a great job and for the price I would recommend him. He went out of his way and adjusted his schedule for us."

"What a great job these folks did. We basically were only moving furniture, as we had "pre-moved" most of our clothing and knick-knacks, but what a great job they did with furniture: taking apart and reassembling furniture, wrapping and protecting finishes, and securing our goods on their truck. They did move one closet of clothing, hanging it in wardrobe boxes and rehanging at our destination. They were as busy as bees throughout the process. I highly recommend Moving APT."

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether it's worth repairing your garbage disposal depends on its age and the specific problem. Generally, if the unit is eight years old or younger, repair is a good option. For minor issues like a bad seal or a simple jam, a repair can be inexpensive, sometimes under $10. However, if the motor is broken (a repair that can cost $150 or more) or the unit is getting old, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire 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.

On average, it takes one to four hours for a professional to install a garbage disposal. This includes removing the old unit, taking necessary measurements for positioning, removing and fitting new pipes, and installing the brand-new disposal system. If there are unforeseen issues, such as accessibility concerns, the process takes longer.

Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.
