"Very well. Chris was a good communicator and gave me a contract with everything we had discussed laid out with prices listed. He was clear and ready to do the job in a couple of weeks. Ken, the general contractor, knows it all and added an outlet and a light above my mirror which was great! Meticulous work in an old house with wonky corners and trim. I will definitely be calling on CTE again!"

"Five Star Bath Solutions doesn't deserve even 1 star. Five Star Bath Solutions contacted me after I listed on Angi's List I wanted to remodel a bathroom. The employees are personable and pictures of completed showers look nice. I was tempted to use them because they could schedule the job within 3 to 6 weeks and told me it would take 2 to 3 days. I explained what I wanted to the salesman. She had Bo, her project mgr come to the house to ck the job before scheduling. The salesman told me Five Star used high quality materials. Bo told me they would move the vent, complete the drywall, set the new toilet supplied by me, fix a hole in the floor that opened to the basement and do flooring. While Bo stayed in the bathroom looking it over - the salesman and I sat at a table while she went over the prices. I am ashamed to admit I agreed to $13,316. I paid a $6,000 deposit. I didn't realize Bo made some changes to my plan. The Five Star installer showed up by himself. I asked if he would fix the hole in the floor first as it was dangerous. He replied: I don't do that. I asked if he would repair a few drywall holes when he put up the new drywall. He replied: I don't put up or patch drywall. I asked where the vent would be moved. He replied: I don't move the vent. Perplexed, I called Kristen the office mgr. I told her the installer was not prepared to do the items Bo said he would do. Also, I told her the materials looked cheap. Kristen told me I couldn't tell if the materials were cheap just by looking at them. She said they only installed showers and I must have misunderstood. I told her I would pay $1,000 for the small amount of demolition that had been done and to stop the job. I asked for my deposit back. She said she would get back to me. Later the owner of Five Star Bath Solutions called me. He said there was a misunderstanding. He wanted to keep $3,000 for materials ordered to stop the job. In retrospect I should have taken the loss and learned a lesson. He offered to deduct $3,816 from the shower price if I let the installer put the shower in. I caved and let them continue the job. The installer asked me where I wanted the seat installed. Bo had changed the shower to a smaller size. No one would have been able to stand comfortably if the seat had been installed. The shower cost me $9,500. The workmanship is poor. You can see where seams are poorly joined and caulk showing in spaces rather than finely and evenly seamed. The materials do look cheap especially a piece of trim they put up where there is a seam on the shower wall. When I interviewed a contractor to finish the bathroom. He asked if I wanted the shower replaced. I told him what happened and that I couldn't afford to replace it now but maybe next year. He said it was unfortunate I paid so much because one wall is bowed and the shower wall material didn't look like it could take a lot of use. I won't depend on Angi's List for referrels in the future."

Garbage disposals last around 10 years when properly maintained. If your unit is getting close to that age or repair costs are increasing, it might be time to consider a replacement. Regular maintenance and careful use can help maximize your garbage disposal's performance and help it reach its maximum lifespan.
There are several signs to watch for that indicate your garbage disposal needs to be replaced. Replacement may be necessary if it doesn't work even though it's properly connected, the blades are worn and causing delays in operation, a persistent foul odor that won't go away, or leaks coming from the bottom due to a compromised seal. If you're experiencing any of these issues, it might be time to consider getting a new garbage disposal to keep your kitchen running smoothly.
A plumber or handyperson can install your garbage disposal if the electrical connections are already in place. If you need additional electrical work, you'll also need to hire a qualified electrician to handle the rest of the job. Hiring local professionals ensures the installation is safe and up to code.
It’s important to avoid putting certain items down the drain to keep your garbage disposal running smoothly and avoid clogs. Expandable foods like pasta, rice, oatmeal, and bread can swell and cause blockages. Coffee grounds, grease, fats, and oils can accumulate and create clogs. Hard items such as meat bones, nuts, and fruit pits can damage the disposal blades. Eggshells, potato peels, and fibrous vegetables such as celery, pumpkin, corn husks, artichokes, onion skins, and asparagus can wrap around the blades or obstruct the pipes.
Not every sink is suitable for the installation of a garbage disposal. The compatibility of the sink with the disposal depends on the material and structural integrity. While many standard sinks support these units, fireclay sinks are prone to cracking under the added stress and should not be used. Confirm that your sink can securely accommodate the disposal before installation.
Choosing the correct size garbage disposal depends on your household size and how much waste you produce. A 1/3–1/2 horsepower unit should be sufficient for households with one to two people. If your household consists of three to six people, a 1/2–3/4 horsepower unit is recommended. FA3/4–1 horsepower model will be necessary. For larger households of five to eight people
