So you're planning a kitchen remodel...

Although some supply chains are improving, there are lingering factors that affect construction. How can you keep your project on schedule? Use this guide to help.

The type of cabinet and countertop you select dictates availability and lead time. Wood species, door style, dimensions, color, finishes, hardware and accessories are the variables. Here are our current rules of thumb for three types of cabinets. All lead times are from order date to job site delivery. Add additional time for the design process (pre-order) and countertop measurement/fabrication/installation after cabinets are installed.

Cabinetry

• Stock 2-4 week lead times

• Semi-Custom 8-18 week lead times

• Custom 18-26 week lead times

Countertops

Preston Feather has quality local fabrication partners who are reliable and do a great job for us. Countertops cannot be measured accurately until cabinets are installed, and the tops cannot be fabricated until templated. We accompany our fabricators both to the template and installation.

Things you can do to help your project go smoothly

• Be decisive

• Ask questions

• Do not make assumptions

• To order, use physical measurements, not blueprint dimensions

• Have alternate selections

• Have contingent storage

• Inspect shipments
