As you get the ball rolling on your kitchen renovation project, you have to know how much space you’re working with. Luckily, measuring your kitchen is easy for you to handle yourself! We’ve created this page to give you all the information you need to get started.
Of course, if you have any specific questions about measuring for new kitchen cabinets, the knowledgeable and experienced team at LPS Kitchen Cabinets is standing by to assist. We’ve helped many Long Island homeowners get their kitchens measured so we can start designing properly. Please read over the information on this page, and contact us if there is any other information you need.
When measuring for new cabinets, countertops or any other areas of the kitchen, we ask that you measure in inches to make things as easy as possible. If you are measuring for new cabinets, you will need to know the following:
- Finished floor to ceiling height
- Finished floor to top of wall cabinet
- Soffit/open area height
- Wall cabinet height
- Lower cabinet height
- Length and width of the existing kitchen
With these measurements, we will have what we need to make your new cabinets. At LPS Kitchen Cabinets, we will not only provide quality cabinets, but we will be happy to deliver and install them as well. No matter what your needs may be, we are the team to call on Long Island.
When measuring kitchen cabinets and other areas of your kitchen, it is important to do things properly. That’s why the design experts at LPS Kitchen Cabinets have come up with these tips to get you started:
- Use the proper tools: tape measure, straight edge and graph paper.
- Always measure both the height and width.
- Include trim in all measurements of things like windows and doors.
- Measure in an orderly fashion so you don’t get confused about what you have and have not measured.
- Measuring clockwise (working to your right around the room) is usually a good rule of thumb.
- Label everything you have measured with a number.
- Find a centerline for all permanent features in your kitchen to help you make exact measurements.
- While you’re measuring everything else in your kitchen, measure your pots and pans so you can select the right drawer height and width
These measurements are great to get you started, but rest assured that the team at LPS Kitchen Cabinets will be happy to handle the measuring needs that are required for your new cabinets. We understand that some people may not feel comfortable doing this themselves or would rather have professional measurements made. We promise to provide accurate measurements that will have your kitchen cabinets looking their best.
It will be a pleasure to assist with your kitchen cabinet needs whenever you are ready to get started. We ask that you give our friendly team a call to go over your needs in further detail, and we will provide you with a free design.
