Cabinet Installation
The half of the job that decides whether the other half looks expensive.

Supply-and-install, or install-only for cabinets you already bought. Level, plumb, scribed, and punched out.

You can buy a beautiful cabinet and still end up with an ugly kitchen. Installation is where doors get aligned, reveals get made consistent, fillers get scribed to a wall that is never straight, and the whole run gets shimmed dead level so the countertop template does not fight you two weeks later.

We install what we build, and we will also install cabinetry you bought somewhere else. If it arrived damaged or short we will tell you before we start rather than after, and we will document it so your claim with the supplier actually goes somewhere.

What's included

What you get when you hire us for cabinet installation.

  • Full receiving and damage inspection before install day
  • Laser-leveled layout with wall and floor deviation documented
  • Scribed fillers, panels, and toe kicks — no gap-filling caulk lines
  • Door and drawer alignment across the whole run, not cabinet by cabinet
  • Hardware, organization inserts, and soft-close adjustment
  • Written punch list walked with you before we call it done
How it goes

From the first visit to the punch list.

Seven steps, in order, every time. You always know which one you are in.

Step 01

The first visit

Vincent comes out, measures the room, and looks at what you already have. If your boxes are worth keeping he will tell you so, even though refacing is the smaller job. You get a straight read on what the space can do.

Step 02

Design and drawings

We draw the room in 3D — elevations you can actually read, not a rendering with fake pendant lights. You see cabinet heights, drawer configurations, and where every filler lands before anything is ordered.

Step 03

Materials in your light

Door samples, finish samples, and hardware come to your house. Showroom lighting lies. A white that looks warm in the showroom can read grey under your north-facing window, and you should find that out now.

Step 04

A real calendar

At contract you get dates, not a range — order date, expected delivery, install week, template day, countertop install. If a supplier slips, you hear it from us in writing the day we hear it.

Questions

Cabinet Installation — the questions we get most.

Will you install cabinets I bought from somewhere else?
Yes, and it is a normal request. We inspect everything on arrival and give you a written condition report before we hang a single box, because a missing panel found on install day becomes a four-week delay and everyone wants to know whose fault it was.
How long does a kitchen install take?
A typical kitchen is three to five days for the cabinetry itself, then a pause for the countertop template and fabrication, then a return visit for the backsplash and final punch. Whole-kitchen projects with demo run longer.
Do you handle the demo and haul-away of the old kitchen?
Yes. We pull the old cabinetry, cap and protect what needs protecting, and haul it out. If your old cabinets are in decent shape we can set them aside for donation instead of a dumpster.

Vincent does the first visit himself. He measures, he looks at what you already have, and he tells you straight what the room can do — including when the answer is less work than you expected. No charge for that visit.
