What we do
Most calls fall into one of these. If yours doesn't, tell us anyway — we'll say so honestly if it isn't our job.
Old unit out, new unit in — including the drain arm, mounting assembly, and dishwasher connection. Typically 60–90 minutes. We haul the old one away.
No disposal under there yet? We handle the sink flange, the electrical whip or cord kit, and the dishwasher knockout — and we tell you upfront if your setup needs an electrician first.
Jams, hums, leaks, and dead units. Plenty of disposals get replaced that only needed a hex wrench and a reset button — we'd rather tell you that than sell you a motor.
Our free symptom-by-symptom diagnostic walks through the fixes that don't need a plumber. If it turns out you do need one, you'll at least know what to ask for.
Our picks
These are the units we install most and see fail least. Buy one wherever you like and we'll fit it, or let us bring the unit — we don't charge more either way. Prices shown are typical retail and change often.
InSinkErator
The default replacement in American kitchens for a reason: cheap, short enough for a crowded cabinet, and parts are on every truck. Loud, and it will not love chicken bones.
Typically $110–$140
InSinkErator
Three grind stages and heavy sound insulation. Quiet enough to hold a conversation over, strong enough that you stop thinking about what you put down it. It's tall — measure your cabinet first.
Typically $400–$470
InSinkErator
The one we reach for when the cabinet is full of plumbing and a water filter. Two grind stages, real sound insulation, and it fits where the Excel won't.
Typically $250–$300
Waste King
A full horsepower at roughly half the price of the premium units, with a permanent magnet motor that spins fast and jams less. Stainless grind components and a genuinely good warranty.
Typically $170–$220
Waste King
A light-duty unit for a one- or two-person household that mostly grinds coffee grounds and vegetable trimmings. Corded from the factory, which saves a step on a DIY install.
Typically $95–$125
Moen
Moen's mid-tier workhorse and a consistent test-lab favourite. Vortex permanent magnet motor, sound-reducing shell, and a mounting collar compatible with most 3-bolt assemblies.
Typically $180–$230
Moen
A full horsepower with Moen's better sound package. A sensible alternative if you want Excel-class grinding without Excel-class pricing, and your cabinet has the headroom.
Typically $230–$290
InSinkErator
Batch feed: it only runs when the magnetic stopper is seated in the drain, so there's no wall switch and nothing can start with a hand inside. The safe choice in a house with small children.
Typically $340–$400
GE
A quietly competent 3/4 HP unit that undercuts the name brands. Not the longest warranty on this page, but it grinds well and it's easy to find on a Saturday afternoon.
Typically $130–$170
