Dishwasher Installation & Replacement in Arvada, CO

Retail install crews work to a narrow script — existing cord-and-plug connection, existing valve that works, machine that fits the hole. Any deviation (hardwired power, a seized valve, tile that raised the floor, stone counters with no mounting point) gets flagged and skipped. Those deviations are, of course, most real kitchens. I do the whole job including the deviations; that's the point of me.

It's the drain hose rising to the underside of the counter before dropping to the drain — and yes. Without it, water from a backed-up sink or a draining disposal can flow backwards into the dishwasher, which is how clean dishes end up rinsed in sink water. It costs nothing but doing it, which is exactly why rushed installs omit it. Some jurisdictions want a visible air gap at the sink instead; I fit whichever your situation calls for.

Yes — it's one of my favorite jobs. It takes a cabinet bay near the sink converted to an opening, water teed off the sink supply, a drain connection, and power run to the space. As a licensed contractor I do all three trades' worth in one project. Older metro kitchens and basement kitchenettes are the usual candidates, and the upgrade is life-changing at dish number forty.

I can run them. A kitchen that's never had a dishwasher needs a supply tee, a drain connection at the disposal or trap, and usually a circuit — all mine, no second trade. If the run crosses into new circuit territory I'll tell you up front, because that's the part that changes the price.
