Measuring Your Kitchen:
IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND: When measuring always try to imagine yourself as if you are looking down at the room from the ceiling. always start measuring at a corner and work your way out to an opening.
Measure the whole room wall to wall, indicate all breaks in walls (windows, doors, openings) by measuring from the corner to the outside edge of the molding or opening. Mark where the wall end is and where the cabinets will be exposed AS “FE” (Finished End). Indicate any appliances and sinks and exactly where they go, openings for air vents, offsets, etc.
From the corner, measure to center line of sink. If the sink has an offset look, measure to the center line of the window. Measure to the center of the oven or stove top. Indicate where the outlets and/or gas lines are behind the oven. Mark down any ducting and outlets. KEEP IN MIND, plumbing and outlets can be moved to accommodate a design.
Measure the height of the room and indicate if and where are there any sofets. get all of your appliance specifications that you may have, and submit everything
Measuring your bathroom:
Measure the width of the available space. Take into account the room necessary for cabinet doors and drawers to open. Consider door clearance and toilet location when designing your bath. Cabinet end should be 16″ to the center of the toilet, otherwise it might be too cramped. Again measure to the center of the plumbing and mark any outlets that might be there.
Bathroom vanities are usually 21″ deep, make sure it will work in your available space. If your space is limited, we can make 18″ deep bath vanities. Confirm that a 32″ Height vanity will work in your available space. Our vanities can be up to any height but standard is 32″.
