Install cabinets or repair an existing run
This service addresses fitting cabinet boxes, aligning installed units and reviewing localized cabinet damage. State whether the cabinets are assembled, supplied as flat packs or already installed. If assembly is the main task, cabinet assembly helps define that stage before the units are fitted to the kitchen.
Confirm the layout against the actual room
A cabinet plan needs the room’s wall dimensions, ceiling height, floor variation and appliance openings checked together. Include fillers at corners and against walls so doors and drawers can open. Nominal cabinet widths alone do not account for an uneven wall, a projecting handle or the clearance an appliance needs.
Align boxes before adjusting doors
Uneven door gaps can come from cabinet boxes that are out of level or square, not just hinge settings. Review the supporting installation before adjusting fronts. If the boxes are sound and the request is limited to doors, pulls or hinges, cabinet hardware upgrades is the focused service.
Approve handle positions and cutouts
Confirm the pull layout on doors and drawers before drilling visible fronts. Any required cabinet cutout must be coordinated with the supplied appliance or service dimensions and the cabinet manufacturer’s requirements. Moving plumbing, wiring or gas connections is separate work; a cabinet opening should not be used to assume those connections are ready.
Verify support for wall and base cabinets
Wall cabinets need suitable attachment to confirmed support, while base cabinets need a stable, level arrangement for the planned countertop. Weak walls, damaged rails or swollen cabinet panels can change the installation scope. The support requirements of a heavy countertop or special cabinet configuration must be established before installation proceeds.
Match boxes, end panels and visible finishes
Record the cabinet system and which sides will remain exposed. End panels, fillers, toe kicks and doors may be separate parts, so an incomplete order can affect the finished appearance. When adding a cabinet to an older kitchen, compare actual finish samples; age and light exposure can make an exact match difficult.
Repair the cabinet or replace damaged sections?
A loose hinge or localized connection may be repairable when the box remains sound. Water-swollen panels, separating joints or a distorted cabinet can require a larger repair or replacement. Establish and address any active leak first, then consider whether removing a damaged unit will disturb the countertop or neighboring cabinets.
Coordinate countertops, flooring and appliances
Confirm the finished floor height and countertop sequence before fixing the cabinet run. Appliance spaces need to remain usable after panels and handles are installed. Identify who handles disconnection, reconnection and countertop fabrication, since those tasks are separate from cabinet fitting and may determine when the kitchen is ready for installation.
Prepare the plan and cabinet inventory
Send the layout, cabinet product list and photographs of the existing kitchen, including damaged interiors. Note whether old cabinets remain, whether new units are assembled and which parts have arrived. Include appliance model details and any known floor, wall or leak issue that could change the cabinet placement.
Discuss kitchen cabinet work
