"I first got in contact with Jackie with nautical remodeling on the 17th to weather strip my doors through Angie’s list. I didn’t look much into nautical remodeling since it was suppose to be a simple job and I thought Angie’s list only had licensed contractors. Jackie contacted me saying he would like to stop by on the afternoon of the 20th. When he got there I called him and stated I wanted the front door, back door, upstairs porch door weather stripped, couple floor trims to be glued down, 3 striker plates installed. He stated the front door is warped but he said the door is worth saving since it’s a 3k door just needs to be taken completely down off the hinges to be worked on and sanded to make it stop rubbing the floor on the outside corner. He quoted me $1400 for everything and I agreed to pay $1400 since he stated he needed to take down the front door to sand/work. But he never sent a contract over and refused to send an itemized list. He also told me if I needed anything else to contact him I told him on January 21st that the heater on the bottom level wasn’t working and the water was cold. He stopped by the next day on January 22nd when the roads were open to check out that issue but never fixed anything, didn’t even bring tools and couldn’t even figure out how to use the attic ladder so nothing got done. On the 23rd since he didn’t fix the heater I sent him the home warranty I had stating he doesn’t have to worry about the heater and tankless water heater. The next couple days had ice on the roads so he didn’t come, stated he would come on the 24th. Ended up rescheduling again for the 25th. He was really late and immediately started backing out of the work we agreed on. Did not want to take the front door down to work on it and just put cheap weatherstrip on it. Did not put weatherstrip on the back door and upstairs door to the porch. Did not glue down floor trims, did not install the 3 striker plates. Then left without offering any money back. I called him and said he needs to atleast install the striker plates. He said he would Monday on January 27th but never showed up and I had to contact him asking where he is and he told me he couldn’t come then we rescheduled for Wednesday January 29th. He was late again but installed the striker plates. All he got done in all that time was weatherstrip/doorsweep on the front door that was falling off on front door and install 3 striker plates. That shouldn’t have taken more than 2 hours to do all that. Was late every day he showed up most days he didn’t. extremely rude to everyone at the house, and never offered any money back. Would not recommend any use nautical remodeling and to stay away from Jackie O’Neal if that’s even his real name. If you for some reason want to do business with them make sure to get everything recorded on text, email, or written contract. Jackie will do his best to do all business over the phone so there’s the least amount of proof on record. Also does not appeared to be licensed through the Better Business Bureau and Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors which was not stated upfront."

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
