Expert Installation for Every Cabinet Line
Cabinet installation is the technical heart of any kitchen renovation. Even the highest-quality cabinet line will look wrong and perform poorly if the installation is rushed, out of plumb, or poorly detailed. Our cabinetry installation crews have specialized in kitchen cabinet installation for decades and take pride in the precision of their work — from the flatness of the runs to the consistency of the reveals.
Phase 1 — Delivery and Inspection: When cabinets arrive at our warehouse, we conduct a complete inspection of every box and door before the material ever reaches your home. Damaged or defective components are identified and replacement orders are placed before installation begins, preventing schedule delays. Phase 2 — Layout and Reference Line Establishment: On day one of installation, our lead installer establishes a level reference line across all walls and marks every cabinet position precisely. In older Westchester homes, floors and walls are rarely plumb or level — our reference line ensures that the cabinetry installation is perfect regardless of the conditions beneath and behind it. Phase 3 — Upper Cabinet Installation: Upper cabinets are installed first, before base cabinets, to allow unobstructed access to the upper wall. Each cabinet is screwed directly into wall studs through the backing frame with #10 wood screws — never adhesive-only installation. Phase 4 — Base Cabinet Installation: Base cabinets are shimmed and leveled to the reference line, then screwed together through the stile faces and into studs. Toe kicks are measured and cut precisely to close the gap between cabinets and floor. Phase 5 — Trim and Detail Work: Crown molding, light rail, scribe moldings, valances, and all trim components are measured, cut, and installed. This phase is what separates a professional installation from a rough one — the trim work is where the kitchen becomes a piece of finished furniture.
Inset cabinetry — where the door sits inside the cabinet frame rather than overlapping it — is significantly more demanding to install than standard overlay cabinetry. The tolerances are tight: the gap between door and frame must be consistent (typically 3/32 to 1/8 inch) across every door on every cabinet. Achieving this requires perfectly square, plumb, and flat cabinet installation — there is no margin for error. Our installation teams have specific experience with inset cabinetry and understand the fitting adjustments required to achieve a furniture-quality reveal. We install more inset cabinetry in Westchester than any other style, particularly for Scarsdale, Bronxville, and Rye projects.
Yes. We are authorized dealers for Fabuwood, Wellborn, and KraftMaid and supply the cabinetry directly. We do not install customer-supplied cabinets from other sources, as we cannot warranty the product quality or construction.
Yes — this is extremely common in Westchester's older housing stock. We use shims and reference lines to ensure perfect cabinet installation regardless of wall and floor conditions. The finished result will look as though the house was built around the cabinetry.
A standard full kitchen cabinet installation (perimeter upper and base cabinets plus an island) takes 3 to 5 days for the installation phase, plus 1 to 2 additional days for trim work, hardware installation, and adjustment.
