A great kitchen remodel isn’t just new cabinets—it’s a chain of details that keeps the space functional, durable, and “tight” visually. In many Philly homes, floors aren’t level and walls aren’t square, so planning matters.
The 3 priorities that protect the final look
1) Layout that works daily
- Clearances for appliances and landing zones
- Storage zones that match how you cook
- Lighting that reduces shadows (task + ambient + accent)
2) Cabinet leveling + substrate prep
- Leveling is what prevents countertop gaps and uneven reveals
- Flat walls = clean scribe lines and smoother backsplash installs
3) Waterproofing + ventilation
- Kitchens need moisture control too—especially near sinks and dishwashers
- Venting planning prevents long-term cabinet and drywall damage
- Modern kitchen interior with wooden cabinets, marble countertops, and an island with bar stools.
