How long does a custom cabinet installation typically take?

Which cabinets to install first?
Upper cabinets are usually installed first to ensure there’s no obstruction when positioning and securing them.
Do you install upper or lower cabinets first?
Upper cabinets should be installed first. This approach helps avoid potential damage to base cabinets and provides a clearer working space.

Cabinets should be installed first. Once they are securely in place and level, countertops can then be measured, cut, and fixed to ensure a precise fit.
Should you drill holes before painting cabinets?
Yes, it’s advised to drill any necessary holes for hardware before painting cabinets. This ensures a cleaner finish as any potential splintering or rough edges from drilling will be covered by paint.

How do I prepare for kitchen cabinet installation?
To prepare for kitchen cabinet installation:
- Clear the kitchen area, ensuring all countertops and old cabinets are emptied.
- Remove any existing cabinetry and fixtures.
- Ensure plumbing and electrical systems are safely disconnected if they interfere with the installation space.
- Provide a clear path for our installation team to access the kitchen and transport tools and materials.
What is the usual order of cabinet installation?
The typical order starts with the upper cabinets, followed by the base or lower cabinets. After cabinets are securely in place, the countertops are installed.
What are common problems with kitchen cabinets?
Common issues include:
- Doors not aligning properly.

- Warping or swelling due to humidity or moisture.
- Scratches or dents on the cabinet surfaces.

Where do I start when installing cabinets?
Start by measuring and marking the exact locations where cabinets will go, ensuring everything is level. It’s generally advised to begin with upper cabinets to avoid leaning over base cabinets during installation.
