Precision Fitting a Cabinet for Your Kitchen or Vanity

The single-cabinet installation service is just the ticket when you need to install a single cabinet to put the finishing touches on a kitchen remodel, replace a dented unit, or add a cabinet for extra storage. Whether you need a secure wall cabinet mount above the stove or a new base cabinet installation for a new sink, our crew knows how to get the job done with precision, ensuring the unit is perfectly level, plumb, and in line with your existing cabinetry. We specialize in single-unit cabinet installations for homeowners who don't need a full kitchen cabinet installation service - that's us.

Installing a single cabinet requires the right tools and careful measurements to make sure it's secure and looks seamless. And let's be real, improperly secured cabinets can be a hazard and ruin the whole look of the room. Our cabinet replacement service guarantees your new unit - whether it's a stock cabinet that fits or a bespoke cabinet - is mounted directly into the wall studs, giving you maximum stability. We handle all the fiddly bits of upper cabinet installation and base cabinet installation with extra care, ensuring the precision and care of pros.

Suppose you're focusing on one piece of a larger project, or performing a simple cabinet replacement. In that case, the process remains the same: accurate measurement, careful marking of stud locations, drilling pilot holes, and secure mounting. We ensure that your new cabinet integrates beautifully with the remaining cabinets and surrounding cabinetry. Our priority is delivering quality installation that makes your new cabinet indistinguishable from the rest of your cabinets.

Product Benefits and Features

Our Single Cabinet Installation Service offers numerous benefits, focusing on the key steps required for kitchen cabinet installation to install a single cabinet securely and effectively. We guarantee stability, seamless alignment, and precise positioning.

Mounting a Cabinet Securely to Wall Studs

The safety and longevity of your cabinets depend on secure cabinet mounting into the drywall and wall studs - it's a no-brainer for both wall cabinets and any tall base cabinets.

1. Locating Studs: We start by using a top-notch stud finder to locate wall studs behind the drywall. Then we measure and mark the precise stud locations that fall behind the back of the cabinet box - we're talking at least one stud here. We also slap a reference line on the wall to indicate the cabinet height or the top edge of the lower cabinets.

2. Drilling Pilot Holes and Mounting: Now we drill pilot holes through the back panel or rails of the cabinet box at the marked stud locations. These holes are slightly smaller than the shank of the mounting screws. We then slip the cabinet onto the wall (often using a long level or laser level for upper cabinets) and drive long screws through the pre-drilled holes and deep into the studs. We use screws long enough to fasten the cabinet to the structural studs securely.

3. Level and Plumb Check: After the first cabinet is mounted, we use a long level and a square to double-check that the cabinet is perfectly plumb (upright) and level (straight). If not, we can adjust the screws slightly or use shims to get it just right against the often-uneven wall and floor of your house.

This level of secure cabinet mounting means your new cabinet can hold heavy items, including the doors, without a struggle.

Achieving a Seamless Position and Fit

When the cabinet is being installed next to existing cabinetry, getting a seamless position and fit is crucial. That's why our cabinet replacement service is in such high demand for those who want to hang their cabinets securely .

• Corner Cabinet Mounting: When installing a corner unit, we mount the corner cabinet first before any other cabinets to establish a correct reference line; that way, the adjacent cabinets line up perfectly.

• Face Frame Alignment: For cabinets with face frames, we use clamps to tightly secure the face frames of the first and second cabinets, ensuring they're perfectly flush and level. Then we attach the cabinets with short screws driven through the face frames near the hinges - where they'll be concealed when the doors are in place. This technique is used whether installing base cabinets or wall cabinets.

• Filler Strips: Not many walls are perfectly plumb or square. To fill any small gaps between the new cabinet and the wall, we install filler strips. We take extra care when measuring and cutting these filler strips so they run perfectly plumb down the wall line, making the cabinet installation look custom.

This super-precise process ensures your single cabinet installation is perfect for installing cabinets that blend seamlessly with the rest.

Base Cabinet and Vanity Installation

Installing a new base cabinet or lower cabinets has specific requirements - mainly dealing with the floor and preparing the way for countertops.

1. Floor Preparation: The room's floor often has a few high points. We measure the floor to find the highest spot and use that as our reference line for installing base cabinets. This way, all the lower cabinets will be level and the countertops will sit flush and level.

2. Leveling Base Units: We position the base cabinets and use shims beneath the cabinet boxes to adjust them to be perfectly level and plumb before permanently securing them to the wall studs. We use screws driven through the cabinet rails into the studs. This little extra step protects the floor and cabinet from movement.

3. Making the Most of Your Vanity Cabinet Hookup: We don't just slap your new vanity cabinet in there - we take the time to get it right, positioning it perfectly for plumbing connections and your new sink and countertops. We usually mount these the same way we mount base cabinets, making sure they're securely attached to the wall studs.

We put the same level of care into every cabinet assembly and installation we do - whether that's one corner unit or a full kitchen - so you can be sure you're getting the best.

Getting the Job Done Right

Before we begin installation, our process is guaranteed to get your single cabinet up and running correctly, safely, and effectively from day one.

The Art of Installation

We put a lot of elbow grease into making sure your new cabinet model, including the drawers, is working perfectly from the get-go.

1. Measuring and Marking: We use accurate measurements to mark the reference line on the wall, locate the studs, and identify the high spot on the floor - that way, we can plan for shims and get it done right.

2. Drilling and Positioning: We drill pilot holes, hang the first cabinet with some serious screws, and double-check that it's level and plumb before we move on.

3. Joining and Securing: If we're installing two adjacent cabinets, we use clamps to hold the face frames flush, then tie them together with short screws, and make sure they're all securely attached to the wall studs.

4. Finishing Touches: We add filler strips as needed to give it a custom look, attach the doors and drawers, and fine-tune the hinges for a smooth finish.
