"Came on short notice, leading into a Holiday and did what looks like quality work. Was quick, efficient, and courteous.
Wasted no time and did just what was needed, and had quality parts.
The price, $210 for about 25 minutes was not excessive, because it was same day, leading into a Holiday, and it looks like quality pipe parts were used, etc. but it was slightly expensive. If it had been $199 I would have given it a "B" for price, and if $149, would have given it an "A" for price. Everything else is "A." 
I would use them again for a same day need, but would shop around for alternatives if there was some time flexibility.


UPDATE: I called these folks back on two subsequent occasions and the first went well diagnosing a leak ($950. The second, though, was not good. They said they would come by that day for another appointment, for installation of two items, but never came. I called back and followed up and no one returned my call. After waiting much of the day for a contact, I contacted another plumber. Disappointing to have that kind of experience after two pretty good ones.

Accordingly, I'm adjusting the rating down to a "C." Not coming at all, and not following up is not acceptable."

"There was a section of vinyl caulk that was installed between the backsplash and the counter. The caulk was old and deteriorated and became dis colored and did not cure. Since the problem was caused by the initial installation, Granite Transformation should have corrected the work under warantee. In fact, they want to charge me a service call. Since they did not stand behind their work, I would not recommend them. I had to call them back to repair plumbing problems, They failed to plug in the refrigerator completely. Beautiful job, but for &7,000 they should stand behind their work

Install Garbage Disposal questions, answered by experts

You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a local garbage disposal installer to do the job. 

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. 

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we’d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly.
