"We moved a faucet from our main kitchen downstairs to replace one that broke, and added a new faucet to the main kitchen for $425. I had been quoted an extra $500 for removing the garbage disposal, and decided not to do it. An extra guy came today who I hadnt met, and he said they could do it for $200 once they were there which I accepted, but it ended up being a ton of work, and probably should have cost the $500. In the end, they charged me the quoted amount which was very honorable. It was a bit awkward for me and my wife because the two of them obviously disagreed about the whole thing, but in the end they handled it well. I paid an extra $100 because of the mixup because clearly i got a great deal anyway. Would recommend to anyone, at least for basic kitchen plumbing work!"

"It went well! I expected it to take a long time to get it picked up, but I called for the bag to be emptied on Friday and they were here Saturday! I am already filling it up again. (We have a MESS from the storm and need to finish the kitchen before this weekend's company coming in from out of town.) I have already called them to request my bag be emptied on Friday, and they have me on the schedule! I can't believe the customer service is so great! This is not a regular dumpster company. I have a dumpster delivered last summer and they gouged my driveway. What a nightmare it was to get them to pay for the driveway to be fixed. NEVER AGAIN! It's BullBag only for our future needs."

"My first experience with Julio was an after-hours discovery that my water heater was going out. I urgently called a few people, then a Boston number for "emergency plumbing." The answering service was very kind and helpful in connecting me to Julio, and through a back and forth process of texts and iphone photos I was instructed how to turn off the water. It took a couple of hours for him to arrive with an assistant named Michael. They evaluated the situation, then offered to purchase a new Hot Water Heater at Home Depot, which they did, and then offered to continue the work and were all finished that evening--a bonus for me. Although I was a bit concerned about the process of having him do that purchase, I was given the receipt from home depot and the labor and installation cost was less than I paid the last time. I paid him the total with AmEx on a portable card reader. He apologized for the condition of the invoice he gave me, since he had to re-use one and it was a bit messy. Also, I wanted to have a TACO overflow valve installed, but our communication was a bit of a challenge, and I don't believe that was done. However, he did a reasonable job of cleaning up a tough basement situation. On the basis of this work, I hired the company again to install a new faucet in the kitchen, and to replace a garbage disposal. This time I shopped for both. Michael was sent at the agreed upon time, and did a fine job on the faucet. When it was time to replace the disposal, he consulted with Julio by phone and asked if I would like him first to try to repair the disposal, quoting me a labor cost that was lower than it would be for replacement. I agreed, and he was able to find the cause of the jam and I returned the new disposal. A happy result. This time I paid by check, I will call again as the need arises. I feel they do good work, with none of the high pressure or cost that I have had in the past with others doing similar work, and they are very nice people."

"Joe first repaired the disposal and then pulled apart the dishwasher, primed and then ran it. He discovered that she wasn't using her dishwasher and instructed her to use both the dishwasher and disposal to keep them operating"

"They were the first to give us a quote and were able to come out as soon as we needed them to. Installation was smooth, and they have been good at following up to make sure the system is working. Because our radon is still slightly high, they are doing another radon test and will follow up if it comes back high yet again. We would definitely recommend them to others!"

"This story begins long before we bought our dream condo, when some fool decided that an ejector pump system would be the best way to deal with our below-grade kitchen. Our troubles began once we moved in -- 3 years ago-- and began cooking regularly, the way one does when trying to eat well and not go out all the time. The pump backed up constantly, flooding the hallway and leading to amazing fungus sprouting from the wall. We called many different plumbers, most who refused to help, given the strangeness of our set-up (these pumps are almost never used in a kitchen, but typically for bathrooms or septic systems). We had some plumbers come out who I will politely avoid naming, who charged us for work that didn't do any good... eventually we got to the point where we could not use the kitchen sink or dishwasher without first checking the pump, as at any time it might unpredictably overflow. This went on and on, but then Provost came to our rescue! Although it took us a few tries to coordinate a time, we finally met Russ, who sweated through FIVE HOURS of intense labor, discovering and repairing the poor workmanship of at least 2 previous plumbers, successfully re-installing an alarm system, and providing us with an enyzme cleaning system to use as well. He insisted on closing the cabinet on the whole thing, which we did with trepidation, as we had gotten used to not trusting the pump. "You really shouldn't have to touch it again," he told us. "But call me if you have any problems!" It has been 3 weeks and we have yet to call, which feels about as close to a home-ownership miracle as we can get. I will sing the praises of these guys across Boston."

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you’ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.

If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills. It helps to know the cost of garbage disposal installation before you make your decision. The average price is about $400, but you can expect to pay more for higher-end models or if you hire a pro to do the job for you.

These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.
