"Bob Bedford and the great guys from Bedford Builders worked on my Dad’s house this past winter. Bob was very quick to respond to our initial request for him to view my Dad’s house and provide him with a quote. He was extremely patient when walking his home with us, as we discussed options and ideas. He took great notes, and provided my Dad with a detailed quote quickly. I was hoping for a rather specific timeframe, as I was about to have another baby, and it would have been easier to remodel without any of his grandkids in the house. He was very understanding and was able to start the job exactly when we needed. Bob and his team were so very organized and professional from day one, and this carried on throughout the entire project. The kitchen and bathrooms had not been fully remodeled in over 50 years, so it was more than a typical renovation. The kitchen and two bathrooms had to be completely gutted and rebuilt. The kitchen remodel involved relocating the refrigerator and taking a piece of a wall away, installing recessed lighting, crown molding, reworking sink and oven locations, adding a dishwasher and widening the entrance to the kitchen. They also took their time and did an amazing job with the very detailed floor tile pattern. All new cabinets and hardware were installed, and Quartz countertops and a stone backsplash were also installed to perfection. Both the master bath and guest bath were also completely gutted to the studs. Both bathroom remodels required reworking of the existing footprint by removing a closet to open up the bathroom more, and expanding a bit into the existing wall to create a larger master shower. Both bathrooms had exceptional custom tile work in the showers, counter work and cabinets. They also completed beautiful woodwork were needed on the first floor and master bath. Bob was extremely patient throughout the process, and always made sure to explain all of the steps along the way. If an issue arose, he explained it thoroughly and provided an option for a resolution. I absolutely cannot say enough about the QUALITY of the work that was provided by Bob and his team. They are the epitome of professionalism and caring about the quality of their work. We would absolutely recommend Bob Bedford and Bedford Builders to anyone for any size project or remodel."

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
