Every month thousands of San Diego homeowners type the phrase “dishwasher installation cost lowe's” hoping to uncover a quick, transparent price. The query reveals three things: • They need a clear budget number • They assume a big-box store offers the best deal • They want installation handled by a pro. At CountBricks, we respect that impulse for speed and certainty—but our residential construction team also knows the hidden variables behind any appliance install. When our AI engine produces an estimate, it pulls live labor rates, up-to-the-minute material pricing, and local code requirements so you see the whole picture, not just the teaser price.
Because CountBricks was built by licensed builders, our software speaks the language of real residential construction, not retail upsells. When you ask for a dishwasher quote, CountBricks AI listens to your voice description in real time, builds a task list, sources materials from our integrated supplier feeds, and delivers a firm number within minutes. The result routinely outperforms the advertised dishwasher installation cost Lowe's shoppers expect—while including every bolt, trim piece, and permit in one tidy scope of work.
• Appliance delivery or onsite pickup
• Electrical circuit evaluation and potential GFCI upgrade
• Shut-off valve replacement and new braided supply line
• Cabinet or countertop modification for fit
• Haul-away of the old unit and recycling fees
• Local permit when hard-wiring is required
Miss any line and the “Low” price becomes a surprise change order. CountBricks bundles every task from the start, eliminating budget creep.
Based on more than 1,200 recent CountBricks residential projects:
• Basic swap-out with compatible hookups: $225 – $350
• Minor cabinet trim or electrical whip addition: $350 – $525
• Full retrofit with plumbing reroute or breaker panel work: $525 – $900
Compare that to the advertised dishwasher installation cost Lowe's lists at checkout—usually $239 before add-ons—and you’ll see why big-box final invoices often exceed our AI-locked numbers.
• Live supplier integrations mean you pay market cost, not padded allowances
• Instant labor mapping matches your zip code to vetted technicians
• Automated blueprint takeoffs prevent under-scoping cabinet or plumbing work
• Voice-to-estimate workflow cuts admin time so savings flow to you

When the Reyes family in La Jolla replaced a fifteen-year-old dishwasher, they first checked the dishwasher installation cost Lowe's listed online—$239 “starting.” Having used CountBricks for a prior bathroom remodel, they ran the same request through our voice interface.
• Lowe’s cart price after haul-away, new supply line, and install kit: $373
• CountBricks locked estimate including cabinet trim cut and GFCI swap: $342
1. Real-time material pricing shaved $18 off the stainless supply kit
2. Bundled electrical scope prevented a $65 day-of upsell
3. Single-trip logistics avoided the $49 “second technician” surcharge often added by retail installers
The Reyes family saved $31 up front, prevented a half-day schedule slip, and received a digital close-out packet that uploaded automatically to their CountBricks homeowner portal. More importantly, the AI takeoff flagged a hidden countertop lip that would have derailed same-day completion—our installer arrived with the right oscillating saw and finish trim, keeping the project on track.
• Ask whether electrical upgrades are included or “as needed”
• Verify haul-away fees early—some retailers outsource disposal
• Look for a scope guarantee; CountBricks locks price unless you change the project
• Request photo documentation for warranty claims
