  "articleBody": "Before signing off on kitchen finish carpentry or releasing final payment, walk the room with your installer and review this practical punch-list:\n\n- [ ] Base cabinet tops are completely level across all runs — Countertop templating requires flat surfaces to prevent gaps and broken stone.\n- [ ] Wall cabinets are securely fastened into framing studs — Heavy dishware requires structural anchoring rather than drywall anchors.\n- [ ] Fillers and end panels are scribed tight against the walls — Gaps along uneven drywall look sloppy and collect dirt.\n- [ ] Crown molding and light rail joints meet tightly at all corners — Miters should be tight, aligned, and properly pinned.\n- [ ] Cabinet doors and drawer fronts show consistent reveal gaps — Hinges and glides need final adjustment so faces sit evenly.\n- [ ] Hardware pulls and knobs are installed level and uniform — Inconsistent drill locations are immediately visible once pulls are mounted.\n- [ ] Toe kicks are secured flush without loose edges — Base trim must withstand daily foot contact without shifting.\n- [ ] Trim joints are caulked and nail holes are filled neatly — Finish details should be ready for painter touch-ups.\n\nHow to use this checklist\nTake natural light and a handheld level to inspect each run systematically. Mark any misalignments with painter's tape so your installer can make minor hinge tweaks or caulk touch-ups in one visit.\n\nIf you want hands-on finish carpentry done right the first time in Aurora or Denver, call Abraham Becerra at HH Remodeling LLC at 303-505-0866.",
