He did a great job repairing our toilet. We appreciated that he had the knowledge to do a repair instead of needing to replace the whole flange which would have been much more expensive.

Dave was very thorough in his approach to installing a garbage disposal. He gave me advice on the product to purchase. He explained what he was going to do and handled it well because it was a tricky installation. He used existing parts he had on hand so as not to charge me more. I now am a happy owner of a working garbage disposal.

Details: No, a new disposal needs to be installed • Yes I will provide the garbage disposal
