For smaller to average size kitchens, bringing in dimensions is good for
getting an initial price for cabinetry. Realize though that this is not a
necessity and that we will be glad to come out and do it for you.
Certainly we would verify all dimensions before ordering anyway.
Your bringing in the measurements just speeds up the process. Follow
these simple guidelines.
First, remember that when we start to install your kitchen cabinetry,
the room will be empty, so that is how you should approach taking the
measurements, like the room is empty. Ignore any existing cabinets,
countertops, sinks, etc. All measurements should be in inches. What
you are measuring is the available wall space and the obstacles like
doors, windows, pipes, etc. Try to measure exactly. Cabinets get
installed from the corners outward so start in the corners and measure
outward. Measure from the corner where the two walls meet, to the
closest edge of the first obstruction, say a window (Dim A) and then to
the farthest edge of the obstruction (Dim B) and then to the next
obstruction like a door or wall (Dim C). Having dimensions to each
side of a window allows you to find the center of the window so you
can center the sink base cabinet. Also measure from the floor to the
lowest point on the window trim and to the highest point, also.
Basically, do the same for each wall. Measure the distance from the
floor to the ceiling. Measurements to any pipes (besides the ones for
the sink) or any electrical switches or outlets in odd locations can be
helpful. Overall room measurements help in calculating walkway
clearances around islands, penninsulas, etc. Note if you have an idea
about a specific location for an appliance or other feature. Refer to the
"Needed Info." page also. If you're not sure, call.
