Cabinet Installation Starts With a Complete Package

Cabinet Installation project photo

Cabinet work can be an installation-only job, a coordinated supplier package, or one part of a full Bellevue kitchen remodel. Those scopes should not be priced as though they are interchangeable. The written scope needs to identify who supplies the boxes, panels, fillers, trim and hardware; who checks the order; and what must be on site before installation begins.

Room measurements also have to agree with the cabinet drawings and appliance specifications. Refrigerator depth, range width, hood location, sink base size and finished wall conditions can all change the fit. Once the boxes are set, they need to provide a stable starting point for countertop templating and installation.

A useful cabinet installation plan therefore covers more than hanging boxes. It includes delivery and inventory, room readiness, leveling, anchoring, finished panels, toe kicks, trim, hardware and final adjustments. If electrical or plumbing work changes with the layout, that coordination belongs in the remodel scope before the cabinets close access to the walls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about scope, estimates, scheduling, and project coordination

What is the difference between custom cabinets and prefab from places like Pius or Luban

Prefab cabinet lines come in manufacturer-specific standard widths, depths and increments, with fillers and panels used to resolve field dimensions. Available sizes vary by line, so we check the actual cabinet schedule instead of assuming every brand follows one universal 3-inch system. Custom cabinets are made for the specific space and allow more control over dimensions and details, but usually cost more and take longer.

Should I just paint my old cabinets instead of replacing them

If your current cabinet boxes are solid wood and structurally sound, professional painting can save money. If the boxes are old particle board, peeling, water damaged or stripped at the hinges, repainting may not be worth the labor. In that case a new cabinet package can be the cleaner long-term choice.

How long does it take to get cabinets right now

Lead time depends on the selected cabinet line, finish, modifications and current production schedule. Ready-to-assemble packages may be available sooner, semi-custom orders often take several weeks, and fully custom millwork can take longer. We confirm the supplier's current written ETA before tying demolition or templating to that delivery.

Do you assemble the RTA cabinets or do I have to do it

When cabinet assembly is part of the scope, the required fasteners, adhesive, clamping and squaring method should follow the selected manufacturer's instructions. We also check the completed boxes, panels and hardware before they are installed so missing or damaged parts do not quietly move into the next phase.

Why do contractors complain about unlevel floors with cabinets

Cabinets need to be set on one level plane even when the floor is not level. The installation may require shimming, scribing and careful adjustment so cabinet runs align and the countertop has consistent support. The amount of correction depends on the field measurements and the selected cabinet and countertop systems.

Are soft close hinges and drawers extra

Not with us. Almost all the high quality lines we source from Procraft Luban and Pius come standard with full extension undermount drawer glides and soft close door hinges. It is basically the standard for any decent Bellevue remodel now.

Can I mix cabinet colors in my kitchen

Yes two tone kitchens are incredibly popular. We constantly do white Procraft perimeter cabinets paired with a custom stained wood island. It breaks up the room and makes it feel much more custom.

How much do cabinets cost in Bellevue?

A smaller cabinet install may run $14,000 to $32,000. Full semi-custom kitchens often land between $35,000 and $75,000, while custom or whole-home millwork packages can exceed $100,000.

Do cabinet projects need permits in Bellevue?

Cabinet replacement alone often does not, but moving plumbing, adding electrical, changing walls, altering ventilation or modifying structure can trigger permits through MyBuildingPermit. We verify scope before ordering.

Bellevue Cabinetry Cost Guide

Bellevue cabinet pricing depends on the size of the package, construction type, finish, panels, trim, organizers, appliance integration, field conditions and installation scope. Stock or ready-to-assemble cabinets, semi-custom lines and fully custom millwork solve different problems and should not be presented as one price tier.

Ready-to-assemble packages can reduce material cost but add assembly labor. Semi-custom lines offer more sizes and finishes, while custom work can address unusual dimensions, detailed finishes and integrated appliance panels. Brand construction and specifications need to be checked on the selected product rather than assumed from the category.

The quote should identify supply, delivery, assembly, installation, fillers, finished panels, toe kick, hardware, scribing, appliance openings and countertop coordination. A lower material allowance can be useful, but only when the expected product and all installation work are written clearly.

1

Laser Measurement & 3D Design

Exact DimensionsWe map out your space with laser measures because being off by half an inch means a cabinet will not fit next to your fridge
Supplier SelectionWe walk you through the catalogs for Luban Procraft Parr and Pius to find the exact door style and finish for your budget
3D RenderingsWe generate a full 3D model of your new layout so you can see exactly how the uppers and base cabinets line up before we order
2

Ordering & Wall Prep

ProcurementWe place the order once the cabinet package is confirmed. Prefab can arrive in days while custom builds from Parr or local shops take weeks
Structural BlockingIf the walls are open we install 2x6 wood blocking across the studs so your heavy upper cabinets have solid wood to anchor into everywhere
Electrical Rough InUnder-cabinet lighting and island power are coordinated with the properly licensed electrical contractor before cabinets are permanently installed
3

Assembly & Installation

On Site AssemblyIf we are using flat pack lines from Pius or Luban our crews carefully glue and brad nail the boxes together on site
Setting the BasesWe establish a level reference line across the room and shim base cabinets carefully so stone counters have a better substrate before templating
Hanging the UppersWe fasten upper cabinets into verified studs or blocking, then check plumb, level, alignment and the selected manufacturer’s fastening requirements before the cabinets are loaded.
4

Trim & Final Details

Crown & Toe KicksOur finish carpenters cut and install the crown molding at the ceiling and the toe kicks at the floor to hide all the shims and gaps
Hardware DrillingWe use precision jigs to drill the holes for your expensive handles and knobs so every single one is carefully centered
Door AdjustmentsWe spend hours tweaking the 6 way adjustable hinges so all your doors are flush and the soft close features work smoothly

    We decided to renovate our kitchen. Michael and Dmitriy gave as the best quote. They demolished the old kitchen and built a new one from the ceiling to the floor. They did an excellent job and finished ahead of schedule. We are so happy that we found them! Renova is a great reliable company. Would highly recommend!

    Nick and his team had our old kitchen ripped out, and the new cabinets installed in less than 4 days. Then, in just a couple days, the new quartz countertops were in. As soon as the demo was done, the cabinets were up—no waiting around for days or weeks. We really can’t say enough about their speed and craftsmanship. Very professional! We’d definitely do it again. And we’ll for sure be calling Nick when it's time to remodel the bathroom. Thanks again, Nick! We really appreciate you and your team.

    West Seattle Renovation - Cabinet Review Renova hired Vladimir, a cabinetry subcontractor, for our project. He did exceptional work on our kitchen and hallway closet. What was scoped as a straightforward RTA cabinet installation turned into something closer to a semi-custom job. We discovered that our cabinet supplier provides boxes and cabinet fronts from different manufacturers, and did not provide any instruction to ensure they properly fit together. It required problem-solving and great communication throughout the install to ensure a good outcome. Vladimir was meticulous, patient, and genuinely invested in the result. The kitchen in particular was a massive job: new kitchen island, new pantry, and double-stacked upper cabinets. He accommodated last-minute changes without complaint, including flipping a panel to hide a seam and raising the hallway closet off the floor to address a supplier issue. The finished cabinets are beautiful and tight. He is a true craftsman.

    I worked with Nick and Alex (their architect) on an investment property I'm remodeling in Ballard. They were able to pull all necessary permits, source materials with a great discount, deliver everything and do the actual work. We turned the kitchen into an "open concept" so we had to remove one of the load bearing walls. Alex and his engineer drew all the required plans and calculated the beam size for that. Nick and Mike installed cabinets, flooring and their crew installed countertops. Very good work quality and materials they helped me source. Will use them next time 👍🏽

    I had a positive experience working with the Renova team for a kitchen restoration project requiring drywall replacement work, resetting cabinetry, counter top setting, sink and dishwasher placement / connection, tile and finishing. They delivered quickly and effectively on a kitchen restoration which included kitchen cabinet installation of existing cabinets which were present onsite and temporarily removed. The team communicates consistently, and follows through on their word. I would trust them to work on future projects.

Separate the Cabinet Product From the Installation Scope

Cabinet projects often mix product selection with installation, but a Bellevue cabinet project needs a clear line between the two. Buying boxes is one decision. Confirming that the package fits the room, arrives complete and can be installed around the appliances and finished surfaces is another. A useful proposal states whether Renova is coordinating the cabinet package, installing owner-supplied cabinets, or handling the cabinets within a larger remodel.

Resolve the layout before the order

The cabinet plan should use field measurements rather than assumptions from an old drawing. Walls may not be straight, floors may not be level, and the finished dimensions can change when drywall, flooring or wall tile is replaced. Appliance specifications matter at the same time: refrigerator depth, range clearances, dishwasher position, hood location and panel-ready units can affect cabinet widths, fillers and finished ends.

This is why cabinets should be coordinated with the full Bellevue kitchen remodeling scope, even when the cabinet installation is quoted separately. A layout is not ready to order until door swings, drawer clearances, corner access, island dimensions and the visible sides of each run have been considered.

Check the package before installation day

Delivery is not the same as readiness. Boxes, doors, drawers, fillers, skins, end panels, toe kicks, crown, hardware and specialty organizers should be checked against the approved list. Damaged or missing parts can stop a run even when most of the order is present. The installation schedule should also account for where the package will be stored and whether the room is ready to receive it.

Before cabinets are set, demolition and wall repairs need to be complete enough to establish the finished plane. Rough plumbing and electrical locations should match the approved layout. Related work can be reviewed through Bellevue remodel plumbing and Bellevue electrical services when those systems are changing.

Build a reliable handoff to countertops

Base cabinets establish the surface that the countertop fabricator will measure. They need to be set consistently, secured and checked at the sink, dishwasher, range and island. Overhangs, support conditions and exposed ends should be decided before the template appointment. The Bellevue countertop installation page explains the information the fabricator needs at that handoff.

Upper cabinets and tall units bring a different set of checks: ceiling variation, trim returns, adjacent door casing and the height relationship to counters and appliances. Final work includes panels, molding, toe kicks, pulls and hinge or drawer adjustments. These details are part of the installation scope, not evidence that the homeowner bought the wrong product.

Compare cabinet proposals by responsibility

A lower cabinet number may exclude design revisions, delivery, assembly, trim, hardware drilling, appliance panels or countertop coordination. The most useful comparison is not a single total; it is a responsibility list. Homeowners should be able to see what is supplied, what is installed, what remains an allowance and what happens if the room or shipment differs from the approved plan. That keeps product decisions and construction work connected without leaving installation responsibilities vague.
