Before installation begins, check that walls and floors are level, plumbing and electrical are in their final positions, and all cabinet boxes have been inspected for shipping damage. Addressing these items ahead of time keeps the installation schedule on track and avoids costly delays once installers arrive.

Wall and floor levelness matters significantly for a clean installation, and older Louisville homes throughout Portland and Shively often have settling that creates uneven surfaces. Installers can work around minor irregularities, but knowing about them in advance helps avoid surprises during the install day.
Plumbing and electrical should be roughed in at their final locations before cabinets go in, since moving a sink or outlet after cabinets are installed is far more disruptive and costly. Southern Indiana and Central Kentucky homeowners doing a layout change should confirm all rough-in work is complete before scheduling cabinet installation.
Inspecting cabinet boxes for shipping damage as soon as they arrive, rather than waiting until installation day, gives enough time to request replacement parts without delaying the overall project timeline. Learn more about our professional cabinet installation service.
What Most People Get Wrong
Homeowners sometimes schedule installation before confirming that all rough plumbing and electrical work is truly finished, which can bring the installation to a halt mid-project while trades coordinate additional work.
