Do you set modular and stock cabinets, or only custom?

Both. We install modular, stock, and custom cabinets — pre-built boxes, set the same way no matter where they came from. We level and shim every run to the line, scribe the fillers to the wall, and detail the crown, light rail, and toe-kick the same way on all of it. Cabinetry that has to be built on site is a built-in, which we also do.

Will the cabinets be ready for countertop template day?

That's the point of how we set them. We level and scribe the runs counter-ready so the fabricator templates off a flat, square job on the day you booked. Get that part right and you don't get a re-template a week later.

Hand us the cabinet package and we'll set it. Dunn Trim Co. installs modular and custom cabinetry for builders across East Tennessee: kitchens, baths, laundry, butler's pantries, and mudroom lockers. We cast a level line around each room, set the runs to it, and scribe the fillers and panels tight to walls that are never quite straight, so the doors and drawers line up when we're done.

In Detail

What goes into cabinets.

Cabinet setting is the heavy part of finish carpentry, and we install the whole package, modular and custom, in every room that takes a cabinet.

Kitchens & islands

Perimeter runs and islands set to the level line, shimmed plumb, and scribed counter-ready, with the crown, light rail, and toe-kick detailed so template day goes clean. Most of the look comes down to the door style and overlay. See cabinet door styles & overlays.

Vanities & baths

Powder-room and primary-bath vanities set flush to walls that are never quite square, with filler and panel work scribed tight.

Pantries, laundry & mudrooms

Full-height pantry runs, laundry cabinetry, and mudroom lockers and benches built to take daily use. (See mudroom built-ins.)

Stock, modular & custom

We set modular, stock, and custom cabinetry the same way. The box is different from one job to the next; the install runs the same. (More in RTA vs. semi-custom vs. custom and cabinet install day prep.)

Why it matters to your schedule

The cabinets are what a client opens every day, so a run that's out of level or a door that doesn't sit right gets noticed fast. We set them plumb and flush and leave them counter-ready, so when the fabricator shows up to template, he's measuring off a flat, square job and the schedule holds.

Questions

Cabinets questions, answered.

Install only. You or your builder order the cabinets and we set them — we don't supply the boxes, so there's no product markup coming from us. Hand us the package and the plans and we'll bid the labor line by line.
