How much will it cost me to hire a contractor to install a dishwasher?
Question:The house does not have a dishwasher, so I was planning on having a general contractor come and install one for me. I know they'll have to cut out my cabinets and most likely install additional plumbing and electric. Do you know how much this will cost me?
Answers:
Lot of imformation is missing.
But I would say 4 hours labor at what ever your local rates are plus travel time.
Is there a local electrical box the washer can be tapped into?
Do you have a garbage disposal? Waste water returns two different ways depends if you have this or not.
Are your pipes copper? plastic? gray stuff from the 80's (if so the cost just when up - splicing / banding tools needed)
Cutting out the woodwork is about an hour to make it neat and clean. Electrics can be easy or they may need to run a new circuit breaker from the box if you are maxed out. Plumbing is plumbing it takes what ever time it takes.
Request they wrap the dishwasher with baffling and duct tape it tight - this realy reduces the sound from the washer. Been there and did that.
it depends on what type of contractor but it should cost about or around 200 to 400.
