Even replacing a faucet or garbage disposal will be $300+, easy. Labor is expensive. I replaced my last garbage disposal myself. I took a lot longer than a plumber would’ve because I had to go out to the store again to buy a washer.

To simplify. $100 for a new disposal, $100 to drive to a site (and also supplier to have disposal); $100 to do a 1 hour job.
Or, in my case, more like 3 hours to do a 1 hour job because I had forgot to put in that missing washer and had to take everything apart again. Haha.
If it makes you feel any better, when I replaced mine last time, it took like 4 hours because I thought my dishwasher was clogged and took it entirely apart.

You can easily guess what I did. The sad thing was, this wasn't my first time LOL.
