Clients planning a kitchen refresh often ask one simple question: what is the cost of new dishwasher installation? While a quick internet search delivers national averages, residential construction professionals know every project is unique. At CountBricks, we capture that uniqueness with AI-driven estimates, voice-to-blueprint takeoffs, and live material pricing so you can quote confidently and win the work.
CountBricks tracks product SKUs and labor rates across North America. In most Boston-area homes, recent data shows:
• Standard 24-inch built-in dishwasher: $450 – $900
• Premium smart or ultra-quiet models: $1,000 – $1,700
• Basic installation labor (existing hookups): $200 – $350
• Moderate retrofit with minor plumbing/electrical: $350 – $600
• Major reconfiguration or custom panel installs: $600 – $1,100
Combine appliance and labor, and the typical cost of new dishwasher lands between $650 and $2,800. CountBricks keeps these numbers updated daily so your proposals reflect the market the moment you speak them.
• Brand and decibel rating: Ultra-quiet 39 dB machines can add $200 – $300.
• Finish: Fingerprint-resistant stainless or custom panel fronts increase unit price by 10%-15%.
• Energy efficiency: ENERGY STAR models often qualify for rebates but cost more up front.
• Hookup location: A direct swap is fast; moving supply and drain lines is not.
• Electrical upgrades: Jumping from a shared GFCI to a dedicated circuit averages $250.
• Permit requirements: Some municipalities require plumbing permits for valve changes.
Seasoned contractors make sure clients aren’t ambushed by add-ons. CountBricks flag-alerts every hidden line item inside the estimate:
• Disposal of the old unit (appliance recycling fees)
• Trim kits for non-standard cabinet openings
• Anti-tip brackets and code-required air gaps
• Water hammer arrestors when static water pressure exceeds 60 psi
• Floor protection if existing tile stops short of the cabinet interior
Because CountBricks surfaces these costs automatically, you eliminate change orders that strain client trust and profit margins.

When a repeat client purchased a 1980s condo, the builder-grade dishwasher sounded like a jet engine and drained through a leaky saddle valve. The remodeler turned to CountBricks to nail the numbers.
• Tight galley kitchen with zero spare cabinet space
• Electrical panel at 90% capacity
• HOA noise restrictions after 6 p.m.
1. Voice Estimate: On site, the contractor spoke the scope into the app—“remove existing unit, install 42 dB stainless model, add dedicated 15-amp circuit, include quiet-pack insulation.” In 18 seconds the homeowner saw a $1,925 quote that itemized appliance, electrical, permits, and haul-away.
2. Takeoff Verification: A quick photo of the original plan let CountBricks confirm drain and supply locations, flagging the need for a new shut-off valve. The automatic alert prevented a potential $250 change order.
3. Real-Time Adjustments: When the client chose a fingerprint-resistant finish, the contractor tapped “upgrade finish” and the estimate refreshed to $2,065—no spreadsheet math required.
• Project approved on the spot, saving a second visit
• Final cost came in within 1.2% of the original CountBricks estimate
• Noise level met HOA rules, earning a 5-star review for the contractor
