This seems a little outrageous. Garbage disposals are about $150 new, and I have no plumbing experience and can swap one out in less than 15 minutes. Unless you seriously damaged some pipes or the plumber was getting double time I have no idea why it would cost that much.
I did fuck up the plumbing. Like I said, got in over my head. All the old pipes were cemented in and the disposal didn't match up to the existing plumbing. I should have thrown in the towel sooner, but "too late" was when I, the dumbass with a sawzall, chose to admit defeat. He was here a solid 2 hours cleaning up my mess. I can fix most stuff, but sometimes, it just goes the wrong amount of sideways.
As for the disposal, if we were gonna replace it, we were gonna get a GOOD one. It's a 1 horse and it's probably overkill, but I'd rather spend the extra on a higher quality machine. We both spent way too much time living with shit tier appliances in cheap apartments.
Fortunately, the plumber was a total bro and replaced all the cemented fittings with compression fittings. So if the next one doesn't perfectly fit, it'll be as simple as loosening everything up and adjusting it all.
