What this covers.
Installation is where a good cabinet can still end up looking wrong. Floors and walls in Dallas houses are rarely level or square, and a base cabinet set on an uneven floor pulls the countertop, the doors and the drawer fronts out of line with it. We install the J&K cabinets in the kitchens we design, so the plan and the install come from the same place.
Cabinets go in after demolition and after any plumbing or electrical changes, and before the countertops. Wall cabinets are often hung first so the bases are not in the way. The bases are then leveled, shimmed and fastened to the wall studs and to each other, and the stone is templated once they are set, because the fabricator measures what is there.
How It Works
Get in touch
Call, send the form, or come by the showroom on Stemmons Freeway. We are open weekdays from 7 to 5, and on weekends by appointment.
Design and measure
We design the new kitchen with you, then measure the room ourselves so the cabinet order fits what is there.
Demolition
We take out the old cabinets, counters and backsplash so the room is ready.
Installation
We install the new J&K cabinets, followed by the countertops, paint and flooring that are part of the job.
The Difference
What to know before you choose.
North Texas clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries, and plenty of slabs here have moved over the years. In a kitchen that shows up as a floor that falls half an inch or more across a run of cabinets. It has to be taken up at the base cabinets, since a countertop cannot hide it.
Fillers close the gap where a cabinet meets a wall that is out of plumb, end panels finish an exposed cabinet side, and crown molding or light rail finishes the top and bottom of the wall cabinets. These pieces are what make stock cabinets look built in.
J&K cabinets ship without knobs or pulls, so choose hardware during the design. Pulls on drawers and knobs on doors is the traditional split, and long bar pulls suit a Shaker door.
Plan for the countertop wait. Granite, quartz and quartzite are templated after the cabinets are set and then fabricated, which commonly takes one to two weeks. The sink and cooktop go in when the stone does.

Installation, answered.
How long does kitchen cabinet installation take?
Setting the cabinets in an average kitchen commonly takes a few days. The whole job runs longer, since demolition comes before it and stone countertops are fabricated after it.
Do I need to empty my kitchen first?
Yes. Empty the cabinets and counters being replaced before demolition, and move anything you want kept clean out of the room.
Are countertops installed the same day as the cabinets?
Usually not. Stone is templated from the installed cabinets and then fabricated, which commonly takes one to two weeks.
What if my floor is not level?
Most are not. The base cabinets are shimmed to level so the countertop sits flat and the doors line up.
