Get matched with top garbage disposal installation pros in Westminster, MA

"Tony did a great job on very short notice. I requested a quote through Angie's list from 10 companies for installation and Tony was the only one who was able to come out on the same day. He arrived and was able to start work immediately. We're very happy with the work he did and how well he treated my parents. He took the time to explain everything to them and us. He also went above and beyond getting the hose to work with the filters on the washing machine."

"I have now had 4 pickups from this company. Each time it has been with different items: I have had my kitchen remodeled,  a deck torn down and rebuilt, a new roof put on, old fencing disc arded, and a yard cleanup. The only difference in pricing was for the roofing and even though ti was more money it was STILL CHEAPER than a dumpster!!! I don't know how these guys do it, but they pickup on time, without issue andfor the cost quoted. I have turned each of my contractors onto them - now they are using them. SO MUCH cheaper and better service than any dumpster company I have used!"

"He was super nice and informative. He warned me about what to put down the garbage disposal. I did not have to use him since I ended up fixing the issue myself."

"Brandon and his crew are fantastic! My wife and I are totally satisfied with his job. We did a total makeover of our kitchen and pantry, about 300 square feet total. Job included gutting to the studs, wiring, plumbing, insulation, blueboard & plaster, painting, cabinet install, custom shelving in pantry and bookcase, hardwood floor repair and refinishing. All of Brandon's subcontractors were quality people as well. Brandon made a schedule ahead of time, and held to it, even when other contractors (countertop install) threw 'monkey wrenches' into the schedule. This is very important to you when you are eating off of a hot plate!
From start to finish, Brandon communicated everything very clearly and responded promptly to any calls or emails.
No major project goes without minor glitches, but Brandon stood behind his commitment at every turn, and made sure every part of the job was up to our very high standards.
He handled all the paperwork and permitting with the town seemlessly.
His price was very reasonable, significantly less expensive than other quotes, yet his work was top-notch.
I would not hesitate to recommend Superior K&B to anyone for their project.

"The tech that came out did an amazing job.  He was professional and through.  He arrived a few minutes later than expected but the office called at the expected arrival time to say he was running a few minutes late and he arrived when they said.  The tech worked from 9:30am through 5:30pm with no breaks.  I ordered pizza late afternoon but he politely declined and kept working.  
While waiting for the chlorination in the pipes to wash out he went to all my sinks and cleaned out the sediment traps.  He also thoroughly explained how all the systems work and what any alarms might mean.  
When I was quoted on the water softener it was for a Repco Aquabubble 6AB system and when they came to install they installed a superior 3M system for the same price.  The tech explained normally the 3M system was a couple hundred more.  He also explained this water softener is more efficient and uses half the salt over the course of the year.  
I would definitely recommend Absolute Water System.  Dona in the office was easy to work with and patient with all of my questions.  She even took the time to put together a quote for what the yearly maintenance costs for each unit will cost as well as their fees to come out.  I had a lot of questions initially and even more once I did more research and she was great and answering everything.  Several questions she needed to reach out to the owner of the company but emailed me back within 24 hours.
Based on the research and quotes I received, Absolute saved me over a $1100 over the 4 other companies that quoted me.

"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."

"So Many Problems!! (though they tried hard to resolve them) Do NOT make the mistake we did and let them talk you out of pulling a permit. The work by this contractor should definitely be inspected. MA Design quoted a low price, used cheap (Home Depot grade) materials, and relied on workers with limited English skills. Plumbing and carpentry were problematic, seemingly due to inadequate training for some workers, spotty communication and quality control from supervisors, and some sloppy attention to detail. We should add that our foreman, John L, and the workmen were willing enough to fix problems after we discovered them, though we had to pay for time and materials when we found MA Design’s quality standards to be unacceptable. The end result of the bathroom remodeling seems OK and we hope that no more nasty surprises turn up in the future. The two supervisors are generally courteous and anxious to please, but poor communication with their workers and sometimes with us seemed to be typical for this contractor. Here are specific examples of our problems: PLUMBING 1. The plumber (apparently not licensed) installed the wrong shower controller in the wall, tiled over the wall, then tried to hide this mistake by sticking on the control handle taken from the shower controller we had specified. Of course, the controller did not work properly and we discovered what had happened by poking through the unused shower parts and calling the manufacturer. To correct this error, MA Design had to cut a hole in the plaster wall of our hallway. MA Design did repair the plaster but now we have an additional painting job because of their mistake. 2. We also discovered that their “plumber” tried to attach the tub spigot to flexible PEX tubing rather than to a solid copper pipe anchored to a stud in the wall. The spigot worked loose in just a few days. No qualified plumber would have made such a rookie mistake. Repairing this error also required the hole in our hallway wall. Clearly, no qualified supervisor inspected the plumbing before the tile went up in the shower enclosure. 3. Just 2 months after MA Design wrapped up the work, we found a serious water leak coming from the ceiling below the remodeled bathroom. This ruined the ceiling and of course ruined the paint job we had just completed in the room below the leak. To their credit, the supervisor quickly came out, cut a hole in the ceiling, and replaced a flawed PEX tubing fitting with a quick-apply fitting to stop the leak. MA Design then cut away large sections of water-damaged ceiling in two rooms, let things dry out for a few weeks, and applied mold-kill spray to address the mold that had formed. It seems that a fitting on the PEX tubing was not properly crimped. This reinforced our belief that the MA Design workers doing plumbing on our job were not well qualified and that MA Design did not choose to or did not know how to inspect work adequately. Several weeks later, MA Design eventually had the joint repaired by a licensed plumber and repaired the holes in the ceiling. 4. The shower enclosure tiling was done OK for the most part but we found holes in the grout around some tiles. We suspect that the grout job was substandard for another reason: the grout sealing the tub to the floor is cracking and flaking after only 2 months. CARPENTRY 5. We replaced the bathroom window with a safety glass window but MA Design replaced the prior window trim and window sill with lesser quality trim and no window sill whatsoever. This was a complete mismatch with the rest of the house. MA Design quoted use of “standard” trim. If MA Design’s estimate assumed replacing trim with something so obviously out of place with the rest of the house, this should have been clearly stated in the quote. We ended up paying to rip out their trim and replace with trim that matched the rest of the house. In fact, the lumberyard’s “standard” trim exactly matched the trim elsewhere in the house so we felt that MA Contracting’s use of “standard” to describe their materials was deceptive. 6. They also installed a new window in an adjacent room. They made the exterior windowsill out of a very knotty piece of pine, inviting future rot. Even worse, no drip edge was cut into the underside of the sill, which could lead to water wicking under the sill and getting into the exterior siding. No well qualified carpenter would have made a mistake like that. PAINTING 7. MA Design did very little painting for us, just some primer application after drywall installation. Still, the workman on our job made a rookie mistake. He applied primer to a repaired ceiling with a rough wall roller and then applied primer to the doorway trim with that same roller rather than with a brush or smooth roller. The result: the formerly smooth doorway trim now had a rough, thick layer of paint that looked and felt awful. It took us 2 hours of sanding to restore the doorway trim to a smooth surface. This experience reinforced our general impression that many, if not most, MA Design workmen are not properly skilled or trained for the work they are doing. COORDINATION & COMMUNICATION 8. We agreed at the outset which fixtures were to be bought by MA Design and which by us, but MA Design sometimes bought the wrong items, which resulted in confusion and delays. In many cases, we ended up buying the needed fixtures ourselves just to keep the project moving. 9. On at least 10 days, workers were expected but none showed up and MA Design did not call to inform us of this in advance."

This was about as seamless a kitchen renovation that one could ever hope for.  Dave listened carefully to the goals we wanted to achieve in our kitchen, and was patient with the design adjustments we wanted to incorporate as we considered each version of the design plans.  One cabinet in particular that was added toward the end of the design process was brilliantly conceived on his part--a cabinet to store large items that looked like a lovely piece of dining room furniture, with exterior shelving and drawers. It is a centerpiece in the kitchen.  Dave was careful to preserve important walk ways in our kitchen so as to not create bottlenecks--an important element in this centrally located kitchen.  His advice on style and color of cabinetry was also highly valued in our desire to achieve a cleaner and brighter look, yet one that was still consistent with our 1931 Colonial.

The Brookhaven cabinets are beautiful and well-made.  While they are pricey, Dave was able to steer us to take advantage of a manufacturer's discount.  The selection of hardware that was available without incurring additional cost was completely adequate, and we took advantage of this option.

Installation of the cabinetry was smooth and timely.  We decided to make a last minute change to the placement of our microwave, which necessitated the order of a new drawer.  This took longer than we had hoped, but understood that this was not a Kitchen Center issue, but rather one of the manufacturer, as each items is custom made.  When the drawer arrived, it was without a front--this added more time. 

Once the cabinetry was installed, irregularities were minimal.  Dave and a service that works with him tended to adjusting hinges, covering screw heads, and painting areas that needed to be smoothed. 

Overall, working with the Kitchen Center exceeded our expectations.  Communication and responsiveness were excellent.  They partnered well with our contractor so that there were no glitches or last minute surprises--almost unheard of for a kitchen renovation.  The quality of the design and workmanship has made for a space that we are loving, and our only regret was that we did no redo our kitchen sooner!

"Don was very professional from first contact right on through to his follow up visit upon completing the project. He sat with us and listened to our ideas for designing the space then made recommendations balancing our extensive "want list" with our budget. This open dialog was very helpful as we took some time to refine all of the characteristics that would make the space feel comfortable and "not like a basement." Given his experiences in finishing basements, he was able to make many suggestions that resulted in a very enjoyable living space for our family. Key aspects that he handled with skill were framing in duct work and pipes allowing access to shut-offs, door sizing and closet placement optimized options for furniture placement and getting it in and out of the room. The trim, baseboards, support wraps, trophy wall and half wall for the stairwell were details that he and his team took care in doing well. The canned lights that were used provide plenty of light and with the dimmers also provide a perfect movie experience for the kids. We had two baseboard heater units installed in the main room with a thermostat and one unit with thermostat installed in the extra room. Don was very organized and this showed once work began. As he had several skilled craftsmen come in for various elements of the project, they were all made aware of every detail that was scoped out and agreed upon. There was framing, electrical, drywall and drywall finishing. We did the painting ourselves and also had a local vendor install carpet after the project was complete. Even as minor decisions and modifications were needed as work progressed, Don managed this very well.

We couldn't be happier with the end result! Thanks to Don, we now have a beautiful finished basement that we will enjoy for years to come. We highly recommend Don for the high quality service, professionalism and pride he shows in his work.

"Alex and his team (Geoff - plumber, Bruno - electrician) did an outstanding job. Alex responded to my initial query to Angie's list within 10 minutes..... so fast! He then had the plumber, Geoff out there within several days. Geoff was superb. He replaced the disposal and sink faucet and drain, upgrading the plumbing to code in the process. Thus, the robustness of our plumbing was greatly improved by what Geoff did (bringing our plumbing to code required raising some valves, and converting some metal/plastic interfaces to metal/metal). We did run into one problem, which was that the disposal switch developed a short circuit. Alex quickly had an electrician (Bruno) come by. Bruno did an outstanding job, working quickly but improving the electrical box by adding an extra switch. Thus, once again, the entire system was improved by their high quality work. Geoff in particular ended up spending more time than initially anticipated, so the price was double what was initially quoted, but I felt that a lot more work was done than initially anticipated, the work was high quality, Geoff and Bruno both worked quickly and hard (taking no breaks), so ultimately I felt that the cost was well worth it. Very fair. Alex also manages everything from afar, and does a great job. He responds immediately to subsequent calls and has an excellent interaction style. I would definitely hire them again and strongly recommend them!"
