What to bring to a cabinet consultation

Measurements, appliance specs, and inspiration photos.

January 14, 20264 min readDeWitt Lumber

A cabinet appointment goes from browsing to designing the moment we have real numbers. Here is what turns one visit into a workable layout.

Bring this with you

None of it has to be perfect. Rough and written down beats precise and remembered.

  • A sketch of the room with wall lengths and ceiling height
  • Window and door locations, with sizes and heights off the floor
  • Locations of plumbing, gas, HVAC registers, and the electrical panel
  • Appliance model numbers, especially the range and refrigerator
  • Five or six photos of kitchens you like — and one you do not
  • Your realistic budget range and timeline

Then come see the doors

Finish decisions get much easier standing in front of full-size door samples under real light. Our selection centers have the displays set up for exactly that.

Talk it through with us

Bring your plans, sketches, or photos to any of our four Central Michigan yards. We will walk the options with you, pull real samples, and put together a material list you can build from. Estimating is free for any project.
