I called Applewood Plumbing to install a garbage disposal in one of my rental properties, which was causing the dishwasher to back up and leak water all over the kitchen floor. Of course this happened on a Sunday, so not knowing who to call in an emergency, I called Applewood. Their call center was very courteous and they could arrange for a plumber the next morning. I was impressed with the speed of response. I bought a new disposal at Home Depot to save some money. The technician was also very courteous, prompt, thorough, and competent. But here comes the bad news. Their pricing is horrendously, ridiculously, outrageously EXPENSIVE. Over $400 just to install the disposal and nothing else! It took less than an hour -- great! -- but at their flat fee rate, I think $400 is gouging. Yes, they were responsive, but had I taken a little extra time to find someone else, I could have paid under $100. I will NEVER use Applewood again. BUYER BEWARE -- get a quote on the phone before you hire them.
