"The estimator was very knowledgeable and explained his products and services very well.  He provided a detailed plan and estimate.
The installation was done all in one day - including removal of the old counter top and the installation of the new counter top - and it was done on the pre-scheduled day.  Sears was excellent at accommodating our scheduling restrictions.  The new counter top looks nice and we are very happy with the result.
There were a few glitches - the garbage disposal leaked and needed service, and it was tough to get an updated estimate when we made a mid-stream change - but we were still very happy with the result.
Note that the Sears office that we dealt with is in Sharon Hill PA, not in Windsor Mill MA as listed by Angie's List, and the corporate headquarters is in Longwood FL.

"Cain and his crew came and did a great job mounting my TV above my fireplace and installing an electrical outlet. They were fast and easy to work with. They answered all my questions and made sure everything was working before they left. I would definitely recommend!"

"They do not cover my new units now. I found them to be difficult to work with. They sent somebody out to repair it, which we were told the compressor was gone so they couldn't repair it. But, the person they sent out didn't want to speak to a woman, he wanted to speak to my husband. They were just kind of curt. It was during a hot time of the year, but the company they sent out acted like they didn't even want to be here. We have an insurance on our house. My dishwasher had a recall and my garbage disposal was acting up and they came out and fixed it and they replaced the garbage disposal. My co-pay was like $75 for each. They kept trying to give me an unit that was not big enough for my house. It's 3600 square feet and we knew what was best for the house. I don't know what they were trying to sell me. I have no idea. My husband said, "No, we don't want this." So they did what they call a, "buy out" For one unit we got $600 and the other one we got $500 and the units were not even 10 years old. I paid $75 twice because when the first unit went out they sent somebody, the second unit went out they sent somebody out again."

"I am pleased to share my experience with Todd, who has provided outstanding plumbing services across 8 of our investment properties, all of which underwent full remodels. From the outset, Todd demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. His attention to detail and comprehensive understanding of plumbing systems were evident in every phase of the remodels. Whether it was upgrading outdated fixtures, installing new piping, or ensuring compliance with local codes, he approached each task with diligence and skill. His ability to work collaboratively with our design and construction teams significantly contributed to the efficiency of the projects. Todd maintained clear communication throughout the process, promptly addressing any concerns and providing valuable recommendations that enhanced the overall quality of the remodels. Moreover, his commitment to meeting deadlines and staying within budget was commendable. We encountered challenges typical of remodels, but Todd handled them with a problem-solving mindset, ensuring that the projects stayed on track. The finished results speak volumes about his craftsmanship. The plumbing installations are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, adding significant value to our properties. Our tenants have consistently expressed satisfaction with the quality of the plumbing work, which has contributed to positive rental experiences. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Todd for any plumbing needs, especially for extensive remodels. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to excellence make him a valuable asset to any project. We look forward to continuing our partnership with him in future endeavors."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. 

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.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

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.
