"We had a previous good experience with Ben Franklin Plumbing that encouraged us to try again, but it took 3 visits from 2 plumbers to get it done. We wanted to get a water line installed to our fridge in the kitchen, as well as a quote on fixing a leaky kitchen sink. The first guy that came out insisted he had to see the rest of the house (manager said this is normal, but he's the only of 3 techs we had that did this). He insisted on quotes for a water heater and softener (neither of which we wanted, and we told him this). After 30 minutes of all of that, he got to the quotes. The tech was Jamaiican, and very hard to understand. He quoted both jobs around $900, and had trouble when I wanted a break down of each job, as I really only needed the water line. He kept pushing their "plan", but wouldn't tell me what the cost was (found out later it's $8/month), just that I'd save 15% that day. I finally told him just to leave, because he clearly was more interested in selling then helping us. After a bad review, the manager called and wanted to send someone else out. He confirmed that just the ice maker would be $512 total (including the $69 fee to come out that we'd already paid). He agreed to not charge another fee to come out, and to send someone else out. Kyle came out the next day. He was very nice and knowledgable. He said that the job would have been over $1000, and that it was going to be exspenive. Nobody told him we had already been quoted. He reviewed and said the quote that both the first tech and the manager agreed to was completely wrong. He honored it, but said that it was half the cost it should have been. He did the work, and all seemed good. However, when he pushed the fridge back, the breaker kept tripping. We figured it was a faulty breaker, not his fault, and sent him on his way. When we reviewed later, we found that he had actually pushed the fridge on the stainless steel water pipe, to the point where it was jammed and up against the fridge, causing it to short out and trip our breakers. Had we not caught this ourselves, it would have cost us for an electrician. On top of the fact that he could have shorted out our brand new fridge. We then found out he connected the water line to the hot water, not the cold. He had to come back out another day, and admitted he didn't check them, just assumed that the house was set up like most are. Ultimately, we got what we wanted done for a fair price (we had a quote from another place, Ben Franklin seemed to be more expensive if they had quoted correctly). But it took a span of 3-4 days, 3 visits, and a lot of stress and phone calls trying to handle this."

We have been designing kitchens, baths, closets and other home remodeling projects since 1977 in Central Florida! We have seven showrooms to serve you - Longwood, Winter Park, Windermere, Palm Harbor, Sarasota, Melbourne and Tampa. Our award winning team can help you get the home of your dreams on budget and on time...without the stress!

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Lacie and Mike from S&W Kitchens in South Tampa on a bathroom project, and we cannot express enough how impressed we were with their combined talents and professionalism. Lacie's design skills are truly exceptional. She transformed our initial bathroom concept into visually appealing results that exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was Lacie's extraordinary patience with us during the initial design process. As we deliberated over various options and changed our minds numerous times, she remained consistently supportive and understanding, never rushing us as we worked to finalize our vision. Her creativity, paired with her ability to understand exactly what we were looking for, made the design process very smooth. As for Mike, his project management skills were outstanding, especially when faced with significant challenges. Despite our bathroom renovation being delayed by two hurricanes, Mike kept everything as organized as possible, and his calm demeanor kept the project moving forward. Lacie and Mike’s collaborative approach at S&W Kitchens created a perfect balance, even when Mother Nature had other plans. They demonstrated remarkable resilience and commitment to quality despite the weather-related setbacks. We would not hesitate to work with S&W Kitchens, especially Lacie and Mike, again, and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier bathroom renovation."

"My story is long so please bear with me. My husband broke his hip and ended up having surgery and going to rehabilitation. Our bathroom was not properly equipped to accommodate his needs. I had 7 contractors come to my home and provide estimates to retrofit the master bathroom. To say that their estimates were over the moon is putting it mildly. The owner of Next level Shower and Bath was one of the last contractors to provide an estimate. He arrived on time, was extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring. He and I clicked right away. He totally understood what was needed and provided me with many suggestions. I was so impressed with his knowledge of what was needed to make our bathroom usable and comfortable for my husband who prior to the hip surgery, was using a walker and now using a wheelchair. His crew were top notch. They worked very hard and produced quality workmanship. Tim was on site everyday and constantly checking in to make sure he and his team were exceeding expectations. The end result was awesome. Both of us are enjoying our new SPA like and safe bathroom."

Garbage disposal installations and replacements FAQs

Professional plumbing technicians charge between $50 and $100 per hour for their services. Since most standard garbage disposal replacements require approximately one hour to complete, labor costs fall within this range. For installations involving additional complexities such as plumbing modifications or electrical work, the time requirement and associated costs increase proportionally.

When evaluating garbage disposal repair versus replacement, consider both the unit's age and the nature of the problem. Minor issues with newer disposals often warrant repair, particularly if the unit remains under warranty. However, for disposals approaching the end of their five to 10-year lifespan or facing significant mechanical failures, replacement frequently represents the more economical long-term solution, offering improved performance and renewed warranty protection.

A professional garbage disposal replacement requires approximately one hour when no complications arise. More complex installations involving electrical updates or plumbing modifications may extend to several hours. The technician will remove the existing unit, position and secure the new disposal, connect all plumbing and electrical components, and test the system before completing the job.

For standard replacements where the electrical connection remains unchanged, a plumber can often handle the entire project. If your installation requires electrical modifications such as new circuits or outlet installations, you may need an electrician's services as well. Some service providers employ technicians with dual certification, allowing them to address both plumbing and electrical aspects of the installation, streamlining the process and potentially reducing overall costs.
