Cabinet Installation: Eastex-Jensen, Harris County
Anchored to framing, set level — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches cabinet installation, and it does not change between the Eastex-Jensen area of Houston and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: out-of-level slabs in this area mean nearly every run needs shimming, so the scope gets set on site.
Our Cabinet Installation scope in Eastex-Jensen
- Boxes shimmed, leveled and anchored to studs
- Runs joined so face frames sit flush
- Doors and drawer fronts aligned across the whole run
- Filler and toe kick cut to fit the room
- Layout marked from a level reference line, not the floor
Homes in Eastex-Jensen share the conditions of the surrounding Harris County communities: the same soils, the same weather load, the same building eras. Countertops get templated after cabinets are set, never before.
We do not quote cabinet installation sight unseen. Someone comes out to Eastex-Jensen, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
