Working with Cabinet Installers
What's the key to smooth cabinet installation?
Preparation. When hiring a professional cabinet installer, start asking friends and colleagues for referrals early in the planning stages. Your kitchen designer may have a short-list of recommended firms to offer as well. In addition to asking for bids, interview each cabinet installation firm asking questions like:
-
What's the size of their crew?
-
How many jobs will they manage simultaneously?
-
What's their process for working in an occupied residence?
-
Are they insured and properly licensed?
-
Will they employ any subcontractors? If yes, these should be approved by you.
Once a cabinet installer is selected, schedule a meeting between you, your designer and the installer to be sure that everyone is on the same page with regard to the project scope, dates, timelines and responsibilities.
