      "text": "Measure your kitchen walls against your cabinet drawings, and take time to find the highest spot on the finished floor using a long level. Measure up from that high spot to mark the reference line for the top of your base cabinets and the bottom of your upper cabinets. Having your level lines clearly marked on the drywall prevents wavy sightlines later on.",

      "name": "Step 2: Locate wall studs and map out concealed utilities",
      "text": "Use a stud finder to identify every wall stud along the layout, marking stud centers with a pencil so you know exactly where cabinet screws must bite. Make sure you know where electrical wires, water pipes, or gas lines run behind the drywall before you run fasteners into the wall. Shut off power and water to the room before work gets underway to avoid dangerous accidents.",

      "name": "Step 3: Hang a temporary ledger board and install corner wall cabinets first",
      "text": "Remove all doors, drawers, and shelving from the cabinet boxes so the units are light and easy to maneuver. Fasten a temporary wooden ledger board along your upper reference line to support the weight of the wall cabinets while you work. Begin with your corner wall unit, shim it plumb and level, and drive screws through the cabinet hanging strips directly into the studs.",

      "name": "Step 4: Secure adjacent upper cabinets together and to the wall",
      "text": "Slide the next wall cabinet against the first, clamping their face frames flush before drilling pilot holes and screwing the frames together. Once joined, drive mounting screws through the cabinet back into the wall studs, checking alignment continuously across the run. Never rely on drywall anchors alone, because loaded wall cabinets require full structural support.",

    {
      "name": "Step 5: Install base cabinets starting from the highest floor spot",
      "text": "Position your corner or end base cabinet at the highest point of the floor and use shims underneath to bring it perfectly level. Fasten adjacent base units together through their face frames, secure the boxes into the wall studs, and check that the front edge stays straight. Once the boxes are secured, take down the upper ledger board, patch any screw holes, and reinstall your doors, drawers, and hardware. When your walls are uneven or you want seamless finish carpentry, working with Abraham Becerra and the team at HH Remodeling LLC ensures a clean build.
