Appliance installation jobs we handle in Highland Park
Getting a new appliance into the kitchen is the easy part. In Highland Park we check what's behind it first: the gas shutoff, the circuit, the water valve, the drain and the size of the opening. Then we connect it per the maker's instructions, test it and haul the old unit away.
Old appliances that need to go
When appliances are replaced, the old ones have to go somewhere. We disconnect them safely and haul them away.
Kitchen Appliance Removal →Dishwasher waiting to be connected
A new dishwasher needs a water supply, a drain with a high loop or air gap and the right power connection. We install it level and fastened in place.
Dishwasher Installation →Built-in or drawer microwave
Built-in and drawer microwaves need exact cabinet openings and often a dedicated circuit. We prepare the cabinet and install them flush.
Microwave Installation →Wall oven or cooktop that doesn't fit the cutout
We compare the old opening with the new appliance's drawing and fix the difference before installing.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Ice maker with no water line
A refrigerator water line is connected to an existing valve, or a plumber runs a new one when needed.
Built-In Refrigerator Installation →Over-the-range microwave replacing a hood
An over-the-range microwave hangs on a wall plate and the cabinet above, and vents outside or recirculates. We mount it and connect the venting.
Microwave Installation →Leaks after a previous install
A slow drip from a supply line or drain joint can ruin a floor. We trace the leak and reconnect the appliance properly.
