Garbage Disposal Repair & Replacement — The Woodlands, TX

State-Licensed Garbage Disposal Service

A garbage disposal that hums, leaks, or won't turn on doesn't always need replacing — and when it does, it's work Texas requires a license for. I'm a TDLR-licensed Residential Appliance Installer, so installing and replacing disposals is work I'm specifically licensed to do — not a side job. Whether it's a quick fix in Panther Creek or a full replacement in Cochran's Crossing, I'll get your kitchen sink working again — often in a single visit.

Garbage Disposal Repair

Garbage Disposal Replacement

A disposal that hums, won't start, or has stopped draining usually isn't dead — it's jammed or tripped. I'll diagnose what's actually wrong and get it running again. Most repairs are quick, and if it turns out to be a simple jam, I may be able to walk you through the fix over the phone for free.

Garbage Disposal Replacement

When a disposal is leaking from the body or truly worn out, replacement is the smart call. I'll remove the old unit and install your new one — properly sealed, wired, and tested before I leave. Most folks buy their disposal ahead of time; I'll install whatever you choose, or I can bring one with me on the way over.

What to Know Before You Buy a Garbage Disposal

Upgrade to at Least 3/4 HP

Make Sure It Comes With a Power Cord

If you're buying a new disposal, my advice is simple: go with at least a 3/4 horsepower model. The cheaper 1/3 and 1/2 HP units jam easily and struggle with everyday food waste. A 3/4 HP disposal runs smoother, clears more, and lasts longer — it's the upgrade most homeowners are glad they made.

Make Sure It Comes With a Power Cord

Here's something that catches a lot of people off guard: many garbage disposals are sold without a power cord — it's a separate purchase. If you're buying your own, check the box before you leave the store, or you'll be stuck waiting on a second trip. Not sure what you need? Call me before you buy and I'll help you get it right the first time.

No Markup on Materials

Whether you buy the disposal or I bring one, you pay the actual price — I show you the receipt and add the exact cost, with zero markup. You're paying for my work, not a marked-up part.

The Plumbing Didn't Line Up — Sterling Ridge

Thirty Seconds and a "Special" Wrench — Grogan's Mill

The Plumbing Didn't Line Up — Sterling Ridge

A homeowner in Sterling Ridge already bought a new disposal before I arrived. When I went to install it, the new unit's plumbing didn't line up with the existing connections under the sink — the kind of snag that sends a lot of handymen on a parts run. Not me. My Ultimate Handyman Trailer had everything I needed to make it fit right there. New disposal in, no second trip, done in one visit.

It Was the Oatmeal — Alden Bridge

Thirty Seconds and a "Special" Wrench — Grogan's Mill

The Plumbing Didn't Line Up — Sterling Ridge

A customer in Alden Bridge called because her disposal quit. I tried to walk her through the fix over the phone, but it wouldn't budge — so I made the service call and even brought a new disposal along in case she needed one. Turns out the culprit was oatmeal down the drain. I cleared the clog, got her original disposal running again, an

Thirty Seconds and a "Special" Wrench — Grogan's Mill

A homeowner in Grogan's Mill called with a disposal that was fully jammed — not even a hum. I checked first that it wasn't leaking, then walked him through the fix over the phone twice: once with an Allen wrench, once with the wooden spoon-handle trick. No luck either time, so he asked me to come out. I told him I was confident I could fix it in under a minute, but I'd still charge him my minimum charge — he agreed. I cleared the jam in about thirty seconds with my "special" Allen wrench. He laughed, paid happily, and I left the wrench with him for next time. Fun fact: the wrench that comes with a disposal is built to break before the disposal does.

How Much Does Garbage Disposal Service Cost?

Transparent, Hourly Pricing

No quotes, no surprises — just straightforward hourly pricing. I charge $120 per hour plus a $50 service call that covers my travel and my fully stocked Ultimate Handyman Trailer.

That works out to a $170 minimum for the first hour. After that, I bill in 15-minute increments, so you only pay for the time I'm actually working. If you need a new disposal, you pay the exact price — whether you buy it or I bring one — with zero markup. I show you the receipt.

Most disposal repairs and replacements are done well within the first hour, so most jobs come in right around the minimum.

Before you call me out, though, it's worth a quick try yourself: if your disposal is just humming or jammed — and not leaking — it's often a simple fix. Call me and I'll try to walk you through it over the phone for free. If it doesn't budge, then I'll come make it right.
