When a New Disposal Makes More Sense

Not every disposal is worth saving, and not every one needs replacing.

A Unit That Repair Cannot Save

Some units have simply reached the end. When that happens, a new one is the honest answer. We install it.

A Repair That Would Only Delay the Problem

If the same trouble keeps returning, another repair may only postpone things. That is when a new unit deserves a real conversation.

Not Sure? We Help You Decide

Tell us what the unit has been doing. If it may only need a repair, garbage disposal repair covers that. We point you to the right service.

How We Install Your New Disposal

Here is how the work goes, from the first look to the first run.

Planning the Install Around Your Sink

We start by looking at your sink and where the unit will sit. That look shapes the rest of the job.

Connecting the Unit to Your Sink

Next we connect the unit to the sink. The connection gets a second look before we move on.

Mounting the New Unit Under the Sink

We mount the unit where it belongs under the sink. If anything about the job changes, we tell you right away.

Running the Disposal Before We Go

A new disposal is not done until it has run. We run it before we leave, so you see it work.

What a Professionally Installed Unit Delivers

A properly installed disposal gives you:

  • A worn-out, noisy unit put behind you
  • A new disposal mounted securely where it belongs
  • Proof of a smooth run before we leave
  • Upfront pricing before any work starts
  • An end to repair costs on a failing unit
  • A calm, reliable kitchen routine restored

Results depend on your sink and the unit being installed.

Our technician Solomon Lopez was great. He was very thorough in walking me through what needed to be done and why. The price was on the low end compared to other estimates that I received too!

I called my go to company alternative Aire to help me with an issue with my HVAC and Phil came out and did a great job! Great customer service, he diagnosed the issue quickly and had it fixed within 15 minutes. He even took a look to make sure everything else was looking Okay. Cool air coming into the house now feels great. Thanks for your help Phil!
