Appliance installation jobs we handle in Skokie
A delivery crew often drops the appliance off and leaves the hookup to you. We pick it up from there in Skokie: old unit out, new one connected to gas, power or water, anchored where it should be, and running before we go.
Whole appliance package at once
A complete appliance swap goes faster when one crew handles every connection. We plan the order and haul the old set away.
New gas range needs a hookup
Gas connections should be made by a qualified installer to local code. We fit a new connector, leak-test it and install the anti-tip bracket.
Oven, Range & Cooktop Installation →Built-in refrigerator that needs an exact fit
We measure the opening, secure the unit and align the panels so the fridge looks like part of the cabinetry.
Built-In Refrigerator 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.
Dishwasher Installation →Wall oven or cooktop that doesn't fit the cutout
New wall ovens and cooktops often need a slightly different opening. We adjust the cabinet or counter to the maker's cutout spec.
Oven, Range & Cooktop 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 →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.

Kitchen Appliance Installation questions from Skokie homeowners
How long does appliance installation take?
Most single installs are done in one visit; bigger jobs are scheduled in steps.
Who should connect a gas appliance?
Gas work should be done by someone qualified to do it locally. We test every connection for leaks.
Will my kitchen need new electrical work?
It depends on the appliance and your wiring. We check before install day.
Is the install done to the manufacturer's instructions?
We follow the installation guide for each model, which is also what manufacturers expect.
Do you install appliances I bought from another store?
Yes. Send us the model numbers and we bring the right parts.
Can Skokie bulk pickup take my old appliance or cabinets?
One large item or two small items at the curb weekly on regular refuse day, no appointment, out by 7 a.m. and no more than 24 hours ahead. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Skokie contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Many contractors must be registered and insured with the Village each year; permits are not issued unless all listed contractors are registered and insured. We take care of that before work starts.

Permits go through Community Development Department - Building & Inspection Services Division (www.skokiepermits.com), phone (847) 933-8223. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
