"Take your time and do it correctly"

 Preparation:  (This is either your responsibility or you hire someone to do it).

1. Measure accurately.
2. Measure 3 times.
3. It is essential before ordering ANYTHING.
4. Write down all measurements.
5. Sharp pencil, print paper and a ruler.
6. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but you want it to be accurate.
7. Take a 25 ft. tape measure.
8. Make sure the end of the tape is on the drywall and not on the tile. 
9. Have someone hold it for you and pull tight.
10. If you are able to put the measuring tape on the floor, do so.

 Measuring:  (These steps MUST be done accurately and correctly to avoid a tornado of problems).

1. Measure- The height from floor to ceiling.
2. Measure- The length from the inside corner wall to the longest end wall.
3. Measure- The width from the inside opposing wall.
4. Measure- The width of your window above the sink. (Put a piece of blue tape on the bottom of the glass and mark the center of the window glass).
5. Measure- The center point from the inside corner wall to the center of the window. (this is the most important measurement, so that the sink is centered in the window)
6. Measure- The window casing from inside corner wall to the edge of the casing.
7. Measure everything 3 times.

Design and Drawings:

1. Confirm the measurements that your math is triple checked and accurate.
2. Make a final decision on cabinet style, color, hardware, sink, faucet, and all appliances. (This when you’ll know what your budget will be).
3. Sit down with the designer where you plan to purchase your cabinets.
4. Give them your measurements copy.
5. They will print out 3D drawings and overhead layouts showing all dimensions of the room. (See examples below).
6. Ask them to email the 2020 drawings to you and to me. Make sure that the designer includes the detailed item list that shows every part # that is to be purchased and delivered. (missing parts happen 8 out of 10 times, too often, so to prevent delay in the installation, it is crucial that nothing is missed).
7. As soon as I receive the correct drawings, an estimate will be emailed for your review through the Square App showing every detail and cost, followed with a service contract.
8. Make a full size 3 ring binder to keep all your paper work and receipts throughout  your project.
