What the work should include
We review cabinet runs, appliance openings, wall condition and the planned cabinet system. Removal, installation, filler pieces and finish repairs should be listed. Countertop handling, plumbing and electrical responsibilities need to be assigned rather than assumed to come with cabinet installation.
Choices to make before work starts
Compare actual cabinet specifications with the room measurements. Door and drawer clearance matters near corners and appliances. Decide how upper cabinets meet the ceiling and how exposed ends are finished before ordering, because these details can affect both appearance and fit.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Assembly requirements, wall irregularity and connected repairs influence labor. Send a layout, cabinet specifications and wide photos of each wall.

A question about this work
Can new cabinets use the old countertop?
Sometimes, but condition, dimensions and removal risks need assessment. Reuse should be an agreed option rather than a promise based on photographs.
