Cabinet installation looks like hanging boxes, but it is precision carpentry that the entire kitchen depends on. The boxes have to be set perfectly level and plumb — across floors that are rarely flat and walls that are rarely square — because the countertop is templated to them, the doors and drawers align to them, and any gap or rack telegraphs through the whole room. A great set of cabinets installed poorly will have doors that do not line up and a counter that gaps at the wall; a modest set installed well looks crisp and works smoothly for decades.

The installers in our network shim, scribe, and fasten cabinets correctly, hang and adjust doors and drawer fronts to even reveals, and handle stock, semi-custom, and custom lines — framed and frameless alike. Whether you bought RTA kitchen cabinets that need expert assembly and hanging, or a custom run for a Bloomfield Hills kitchen, we connect you with a licensed, insured pro who gets the foundation right so the counters and finishes that follow go in clean.

What’s included

Layout verification and locating high points and studs
Assembly of flat-pack / RTA cabinets if needed
Setting base and wall cabinets level and plumb
Shimming and scribing to uneven floors and walls
Securing to studs and joining boxes tightly
Door, drawer-front, and hardware alignment to even reveals
Toe-kick, filler, crown, and trim installation

Crooked cabinets ruin everything that follows — misaligned doors, a gapping countertop, drawers that rub. The installers we match you with set boxes dead-level and plumb on imperfect floors and walls, dial in the reveals, and carry insurance for work inside your home.

How it works

Verify & mark

The installer confirms the layout against the room, finds the floor’s high point and the wall studs, and marks level reference lines to set everything to.

Assemble if needed

Flat-pack or RTA cabinets are assembled squarely and solidly so the boxes that get hung are true before they ever touch the wall.

Set & level boxes

Base and wall cabinets are set, shimmed, and scribed level and plumb across uneven floors and walls, then fastened to studs and joined tightly.

Align doors & drawers

Doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are hung and adjusted to consistent reveals and smooth operation — the detail the eye reads instantly.

Trim & finish

Toe-kicks, fillers, crown molding, and trim are installed and the cabinets are cleaned, leaving a tight, finished run ready for countertops.

Cabinet Installation: common questions

How long does cabinet installation take?

A typical kitchen is installed in 1–3 days, depending on size, whether the cabinets need assembly, and how out-of-square the room is. Custom runs, intricate trim, and lots of fillers and scribing add time. Setting boxes level and plumb is the slow, careful part — and the part you never want a crew to rush.

Can you install cabinets I bought myself?

Yes. The installers we match you with regularly set homeowner-supplied cabinets, including RTA and flat-pack lines that need assembly first. Just have all boxes, hardware, fillers, and trim on hand before install day. A pro installer will flag any damaged or missing pieces during assembly so you can resolve them before they hold up the job.

Do my floors need to be done before cabinets?

It depends on the plan. Often cabinets go in first and flooring runs up to them, but with some floating floors or specific designs the floor goes first. The key is that the floor is at its final height where it matters, so the cabinet heights and toe-kicks are correct. Your installer and contractor coordinate the sequence so counters and appliances fit.

What if my walls and floors are not level?

They almost never are, especially in older Metro Detroit homes — and handling that is exactly the installer’s job. Boxes are shimmed and scribed to compensate so the cabinets end up level and plumb regardless of the surfaces behind them. This is the core skill that separates a clean install from a wavy run with gaps; it is why how cabinets are hung matters as much as the cabinets themselves.
