Your Greater Uptown Cabinet Installation Crew
Anchored to framing, set level — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches cabinet installation, and it does not change between the Greater Uptown 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 Greater Uptown
- Filler and toe kick cut to fit the room
- Layout marked from a level reference line, not the floor
- Boxes shimmed, leveled and anchored to studs
- Runs joined so face frames sit flush
- Doors and drawer fronts aligned across the whole run
Greater Uptown is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.
Four stages, every time: a free on-site look at your Greater Uptown home, a written quote you can hold us to, the work itself done in sequence, and a final walkthrough where you sign off before we do.

What cabinet installation costs in Greater Uptown
If three Harris County contractors quote your cabinet installation and the numbers are far apart, these variables are almost always why. Knowing them helps you compare quotes like a pro — including ours.
- Anchoring into studs and joining face frames flush
- Box count and layout complexity: islands, corners, tall units
- Slab condition: out-of-level floors mean shimming every run
- Fillers, panels, toe kicks and crown that finish the run
Why Greater Uptown homeowners call JM Painting
Homeowners in Greater Uptown mostly hire us twice: once to see if we are who we say we are, and again for everything after. 20+ years in, that is still the model — earn the small job, keep the standards identical on the big one.
Because we run regular routes through Harris County, a Greater Uptown job is local work for us. That means realistic scheduling, and a crew that comes back quickly if anything needs a touch-up.

- Call (281) 935-7012 and we will get a walkthrough on the calendar, typically inside the week. Start dates depend on the current schedule and, for exterior work, the weather, and we tell you both straight.
- Do you take on small cabinet installation jobs?
- We do, gladly. A day of cabinet installation in Greater Uptown slots into an existing route, and small jobs are where most of our repeat customers started.
