What this checklist covers

Countertops show every cabinet that is out of level, and doors show every box that is out of plumb. Start from the high point of the floor and fasten into framing or blocking, not just drywall.

Framing or blocking, and to each other.

When can countertops be templated?

When the bases are level, in plane and secured.

Why check the order on delivery?

Damaged or wrong cabinets are easier to replace before they are installed.
