So you have a non-standard countertop hight or it was standard but net to the concrete slab? So the whole line of basecabs sit on slab too is that correct?

And your countertop guys can"t face in a nice matching strip of wood to bring the counter up to standard hight? what kind of counter are you getting laminate, tile, solid surface (ie corian) granite/marble?

If your dishwasher/trashcompactor whatever ****s the bed the world of hurt to replace anything but laminate. And if its a nice install for the latter materials they should raise you up with furring and a nice faceboard that matches your installed wood. A laminated facia board woulden't be that big a deal either if they are doing the laminating carpentry on site, if prebuilt perhaps a bigger deal. The leveling of the floor isn't their problem but if installing a counter they should be able to raise it more so if its custom made in anyway. then you can level the floor and install the dishwasher or whatever else at your leisure.
