Coordinate the cabinets and countertops
Choose the two main surfaces together. Cabinet finish, stone pattern, hardware and room lighting affect how a kitchen feels. Bring photos of the existing space and examples of what you like.
A practical sequence for your project
Begin with a layout and estimate, confirm materials, then coordinate cabinet installation, countertop templating, fabrication and fitting. Ask which removal, preparation and trade work is included in the written scope.
Prepare for everyday life during installation
Discuss access to the room, protection of nearby areas and when water or appliances may be unavailable. Timing depends on material availability, measurements and site readiness; confirm the schedule with your project team.
