Here at Home Sweet Home Painting & Remodeling, I pride myself on my professionalism, as well as my ability to complete every job to the homeowner's total satisfaction. I never leave a job unfinished, or a homeowner not 100% satisfied with my level of service - Call today!

"I recently moved from the northeast area to central Florida. And doing so was a big effort for us. We bought a wonderful older home but in order to make it "ours", we wanted to do a number of internal and external renovations, and quickly. From the moment I first met Jermaine I knew he was the right person for us. Jermaine's professionalism, construction knowledge, patience, planning and organizational skills, and friendly caring personality won me over. Throughout the entire 5 months long daily renovation Jermaine and his crew stayed on target and absorbed numerous add-ons without hesitation or concern. The quality was always good and pricing was always fair and reasonable. Time and time again Jermaine and his team went above and beyond what anyone would expect. I still cannot believe the amount of renovations that were done in only 5 months. It is truly amazing! The final results gave us the beautiful, comfortable home we were seeking here in FL! THANK YOU Jermaine!! Al B."

"I made an appointment for a one-piece Kohler toilet removal and installation of a new Kohler Tresham toilet estimate initially, after getting an estimate from Angi for same quote for $194.00. "Eddie" came out and was very professional and highly skilled (had installed this toilet model many times) and shocked me with the price quote of $400! I negotiated and got an offer for $350 and proceeded with the install. It took this professional one hour to remove and install new toilet. He hauled away the old toilet as well. I would love to have "Eddie" as my plumber for everything but will not be doing business with this company in the future because of the exorbitant and unfair charges. It was explained to me that this was a specialty toilet but one piece toilets traditionally are less expensive labor wise to install."

"USA DISTRIBUTORS: Below are pictures of my condo’s galley kitchen. All of the cabinets were purchased on line using, and at a savings, the website USA DISTRIBUTORS. If you are reading this then you are like me in that you check out people, companies and products before you buy anything of importance. Also, let me assure you I have not received or expect anything from this company for this review. About a year ago my wife and I visited good friends in Melbourne Florida. They have a beach front condo and had recently done a rehab of their unit. We fell in love with their kitchen and cabinets. The first four pictures below are of their unit. We loved the perfect white and the door styles. They said they worked on line with USA-DISTRIBUTORS and the cabinet brand is FABUWOOD. The style is NEXUS FROST and that is also the color white; deep and rich white and thick luxurious paint. You can judge the depth and quality of the paint by slowly feeling the surface. Cheap cabinets and paint feel like the cheap wood or compressed sawdust below the surface. With FABUWOOD the paint is thick and luxurious feeling and the wood is quality and sturdy. The USA DISTRIBUTOR person who worked with us is DAN STRAUSS. Phone: 888-316-0805. I can’t say too much about how good he is. We talked on the phone, emailed and he is prompt in his replies and very pleasant. He knows his products and has lots of experience with others doing the same thing via the internet so he helps guide you. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I say that since it took me about seven months to confirm the plan and put in the order. Some of that time my wife and I were on vacation in Highlands N.C.. We just finished our condo rehab and the pictures after the first four are our condo kitchen. The bathroom cabinets match the color and style of the kitchen. The two things we did in the kitchen I would recommend are: 1. Frame the refrigerator and if you have the room put a cabinet about the refrigerator and install pull out drawers there and everywhere in the kitchen; 2. They have a tall pantry option that we chose and put pull out drawers top and bottom. We had a blank wall there and there was adequate space in the back of it for the pantry. I could go on but I value your patience so let me just say that we highly recommend this company, Dan and FABUWOOD cabinets. O’yes, we live in Orlando, Florida and the contractor we used was Kevin Morrison, 407-574-2424, and his company is South Shore Construction. He is very nice, patient, he will do as much or as little as you want. We interviewed and checked out three contractors. One of them put down getting a building permit and that is a sign of someone who cuts corners. Kevin is a honest contractor which means follows the code and law. He is ethical which means he treats you fairly and as he would want to be treated. He is a good guy. You should definitely interview him and let him evaluate your project. One last thing about Kevin. My wife is the type of person who carefully chooses a person to work with and then establishes a detailed plan, and leave it with the person to carry it out. On the other hand, I enjoy getting into the details, coming to the site and inspecting, occasionally changing my mind and asking questions. Kevin is a saint for putting up with us, I mean ME, and our very different personalities. Roger of Orlando"

We have been designing kitchens, baths, closets and other home remodeling projects since 1977 in Central Florida! We have seven showrooms to serve you - Longwood, Winter Park, Windermere, Palm Harbor, Sarasota, Melbourne and Tampa. Our award winning team can help you get the home of your dreams on budget and on time...without the stress!

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Lacie and Mike from S&W Kitchens in South Tampa on a bathroom project, and we cannot express enough how impressed we were with their combined talents and professionalism. Lacie's design skills are truly exceptional. She transformed our initial bathroom concept into visually appealing results that exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was Lacie's extraordinary patience with us during the initial design process. As we deliberated over various options and changed our minds numerous times, she remained consistently supportive and understanding, never rushing us as we worked to finalize our vision. Her creativity, paired with her ability to understand exactly what we were looking for, made the design process very smooth. As for Mike, his project management skills were outstanding, especially when faced with significant challenges. Despite our bathroom renovation being delayed by two hurricanes, Mike kept everything as organized as possible, and his calm demeanor kept the project moving forward. Lacie and Mike’s collaborative approach at S&W Kitchens created a perfect balance, even when Mother Nature had other plans. They demonstrated remarkable resilience and commitment to quality despite the weather-related setbacks. We would not hesitate to work with S&W Kitchens, especially Lacie and Mike, again, and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier bathroom renovation."

Appliance (smaller size) installations and replacements FAQs

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
