Inspect every cabinet door and drawer for even alignment and smooth operation, check that hardware is secure, examine countertop seams and edges for smoothness, and run water at the sink while checking underneath for leaks. A thorough inspection before signing off on the project catches any remaining issues while they are still simple to address.

Open and close every single door and drawer in the kitchen, not just a sample, checking for even gaps and smooth operation without sticking or rubbing. Louisville homeowners throughout Beechmont and Fairdale should also gently tug on each hardware piece to confirm it is tightly secured rather than loose.
Run your hand along countertop seams to feel for smoothness, and inspect the edges closely for any chips or rough spots that may have occurred during installation. Southern Indiana and Central Kentucky homeowners should also run the sink water for several minutes while checking the cabinet below for any signs of leaking at the supply lines or drain trap.
Finally, review all exposed panels, trim, and filler pieces for consistent color and finish, and confirm backsplash grout lines are clean and evenly spaced throughout. Documenting any issues found during this walkthrough with photos helps communicate clearly with your installer if follow-up work is needed. Learn more about our kitchen design consultation service.
What Most People Get Wrong
Homeowners sometimes do a quick visual scan rather than physically testing every door, drawer, and connection, missing issues that only become apparent through actual use.
