What We Install
Two appliances, plus reconnection work. That is the whole list.
What Makes an Installation Go Wrong
The failures on this job are almost never the appliance. They are the things around it.
Space that doesn't match the specification
Dishwashers are standardized enough that this is rare, but older cabinetry and thick flooring added later can both make an opening smaller than the paperwork says. If your kitchen floor has been redone since the last dishwasher went in, mention it.
The old machine nobody planned for
Aaron doesn't haul appliances away. That means the old dishwasher or disposal stays with you, and it needs somewhere to go. Most stores will take one away for a fee when they deliver the new one, and arranging that at the point of purchase is far easier than arranging it afterward.
Drainage that was already marginal
A disposal or a dishwasher going into a drain that was already slow won't fix the drain. If yours backs up, that's a plumber before it's an appliance installer, and you'll be told rather than sold an installation that disappoints you.
What This Covers
Worth knowing before you book:
Haul the old appliance away. Aaron's words: "I don't offer to haul away." Arrange it with the store when you buy.
New plumbing or new drains. A water line is replaced only where the plumbing it connects to is intact and the shut-off is accessible; a backing-up drain goes to a plumber.
If the shut-off for a water line isn't accessible behind the appliance, or the drain is backing up, or the house plumbing feeding the machine is damaged, that's a plumber. You'll hear that rather than have somebody work around it.
What to Have Ready
The appliance, delivered and in the room. This is the one that actually stops jobs, and it's worth being blunt about: if the dishwasher is still on a truck or still at the store, there's nothing to install.
The space clear. Whatever lives under the sink needs to come out for a disposal, and the run in front of a dishwasher needs to be walkable. A plan for the old machine, since it's staying with you.
And if anything about the situation is unusual, a photo. Tight opening, awkward shut-off, unusual plumbing under the sink. Two minutes on the phone beforehand beats a wasted visit for both of us.

What It Costs
You get one all-in figure before any work starts.
What moves it is which appliance and whether you bought the unit. Supplying your own means the labor is what you're paying for.
If something turns up that changes it, a seized shut-off or plumbing that won't take the connection, the job stops and you're told before anything else happens.
Exclusions to the 90-day warranty are listed in full on the FAQs.
How the Visit Goes
The Line Is Whether Anything New Has to Be Made
It's a fair question, and the answer says something useful about how this business works.
A dishwasher connects to a water line, a drain and a plug that are already in your kitchen. A disposal replaces a disposal into plumbing that's already under your sink. A reconnection after a remodel puts back a connection that existed before the cabinets came out.
None of that makes anything new. That's why those three are on the list and nothing else is.
The moment a job needs a new circuit, a new drain, new ducting or a new opening cut in a counter, it stops being appliance work and becomes somebody else's trade. You're better served by that person than by somebody willing to have a go at it. So when Aaron says he'll install your dishwasher, that's a job he does most weeks. And when he says no, that's a real no rather than an opening position.
The Drain Loop, and Why It Is the Same Rule Across This Whole Service Area
Dishwasher installation has one requirement that gets missed more than any other, and it is the reason a correctly working dishwasher can still smell.

Questions We Get Asked
Will you install a dishwasher I bought at a store?
Yes. Have it delivered and in the kitchen when he arrives and that's the whole requirement.
Do you take the old one away?
No. Arrange that with the store when you buy the new machine; it's much easier at that end.
Can you install a washer, a dryer or a range?
Dishwashers and disposals are the two, plus reconnection work after a remodel.
What counts as a reconnection?
Water lines to a refrigerator, dishwasher or washer, the vent hose at a dryer, and the electrical to a dishwasher. Things that were connected before and need connecting again.
What if the shut-off under my sink won't turn?
Then the job stops there and you need a plumber for that valve. It's the most common reason an installation can't go ahead, which is why it's worth testing before the day.
Can you install one you supply?
On disposals, yes. On dishwashers he installs the machine you bought.
Do you do kitchen remodels?
No, and if that's what you need this is the wrong number. Better said now than after a wasted trip.
What does the warranty cover?
Ninety days on the labor, and on the unit if we supplied it. If you bought the appliance, its warranty is between you and the seller. Full exclusions on the FAQs.
What does a dishwasher installation cost?
You get one all-in figure before anything starts, the same as every other job here. What moves it is whether anything has to be made rather than connected: an existing dishwasher coming out and a new one going into the same slot with the same supply, drain and circuit is a straightforward visit. A cabinet that has never held one is a different job and worth a phone call before you book, because it may need plumbing or a circuit that is not there yet.
Does my dishwasher need an air gap?
Not here, and it is worth knowing why, because you may well have been told otherwise. Two different national plumbing codes are in use across the country, and they answer this differently. The one in force across this service area requires the drain line to rise and be fastened up under the counter, which is the high loop, and does not require an air gap fitting on the countertop. The other code does. Your neighbor in another state genuinely may need one.
