What we will not pretend to “just install”
- Gas line modifications or gas appliance certifications
- New 240V circuits / panel work for ranges or dryers
- Built-in refrigeration water lines that need wall opens beyond fixture scope
- Anything a building or AHJ requires under a plumbing/electrical permit we do not hold for that job

Frequently Asked Questions
What appliances can a handyman install in Miami?
Gold Hands commonly installs dishwashers ($179–$299 labor tiers), garbage disposals ($169/$195*), and related fixture plumbing like faucets and toilets from our plumbing menus. Built-in ovens, gas ranges, refrigerators with water lines that need permits, or hardwired 240V appliances may need a licensed trade — we say so from photos.
* Minimum visit $200 — smaller jobs can be combined into one visit.
How much does dishwasher installation cost?
Standard dishwasher installation with existing hookups is $179* labor. With old unit removal $219. First-time install (no existing hookup) $299. Add-ons: air gap/high-loop $49, cabinet trim/panel $65*.
* Minimum visit $200 — smaller jobs can be combined into one visit.
How much is garbage disposal installation?
Customer-supplied unit install $169*. Replacement (remove old + install new) $195*. Jam clearing/reset without replacement $89*. Air/wall switch add-on $59*; dishwasher line reconnect $45*.
* Minimum visit $200 — smaller jobs can be combined into one visit.
Do you install washers and dryers?
Hookup-style laundry work is quoted from photos (space, valves, vent path). Dryer vent cleaning is a separate quoted handyman job (no dedicated SKU — often hourly or half-day). We do not invent a flat “washer install $X” if it is not on the menu.
Same-day appliance install in Miami?
Often possible when the unit is on site, hookups exist, and parking/freight allows. Call (786) 788-8714 early with model photos and access notes — see also our same-day handyman guide.
