Kitchen Cabinet Installation in Bonita Springs, FL

Bonita Springs Elite Cabinets installs kitchen cabinets for homeowners in Bonita Springs, FL, on new builds and remodels. Install day is where good cabinets succeed or fail. A box that is out of level shows up later as doors that hang crooked and drawers that drift open.

This page covers the install: prep, setting, aligning and finishing. For layout and building, see custom kitchen cabinets. For planning, see cabinet consultation.

What installation includes

• Room check. We confirm measurements and check the walls and floor for level, plumb and square.
• Layout marks. We mark a level reference line and the spots for studs, plumbing and outlets.
• Setting the cabinets. We set the first cabinet level and plumb, join the rest to it and secure them to the wall.
• Alignment. We adjust doors and drawers so gaps are even and everything closes cleanly.
• Trim and fillers. We fit toe kicks, filler strips, end panels and crown so the run looks built in.
• Hardware and final check. We install pulls and knobs, then walk the kitchen with you.

Why walls and floors matter

Few walls are truly straight, and floors often slope. If cabinets follow a crooked wall, the doors follow it too. Installers shim the boxes level and use scribe trim or filler strips to close the gap at the wall. That is how a careful install looks tight even in an older home.

Plan around the rest of the kitchen

• Appliances. Have spec sheets for the range, refrigerator and dishwasher. The openings must match them.
• Countertops. Counters are usually measured after the base cabinets are set. Book that visit early.
• Plumbing and electric. Sink bases and outlets need to line up with the plan. Changes are easier before the cabinets go in.
• Flooring and backsplash. Ask which goes first on your job. We confirm the order with you.

Florida humidity and install day

Store cabinet boxes in a dry, cooled space before install, not in a damp garage. Around sinks and dishwashers, seal cut edges so water cannot soak in. Pay extra attention to the toe kick area, which sits closest to the floor. For more on materials, read our guide to cabinet materials for Southwest Florida humidity.

Before install day

1. Clear the kitchen and the path to it.
2. Confirm delivery access and where boxes can be stored.
3. Have appliance sheets and hardware choices ready.
4. Plan where you will cook and eat for a few days.
5. Line up your countertop installer.

Other options

If your boxes are sound and you only want a new look, consider cabinet resurfacing instead. If you are still choosing a layout, start with cabinet design. Want an island or pantry added to the plan? See custom cabinet islands and pantry cabinets.

Common questions

How long does kitchen cabinet installation take?

It depends on kitchen size, layout and whether old cabinets must come out. We review the schedule with you before work starts.

Can you install cabinets I bought elsewhere?

Yes. Kitchen cabinet installation is available as its own service. We inspect what was delivered before we start.

Why are there gaps between my cabinets and the wall?

Walls are rarely straight. Installers close those gaps with filler strips and scribe trim. A careful install keeps them small and even.

Do cabinets go in before or after the floor?

It depends on the floor type and the plan. Some jobs set cabinets first. Others finish the floor first. We confirm the order with you.

Is installation included with custom cabinets?

Yes. We handle design and installation, so one team takes the project from consultation to final walkthrough.
