Kitchen Measurement Checklist: What to Have Ready for Your In-Home Visit

Kitchen measurement checklist: before your in-home kitchen measurement, have ready the specs of your appliances, a few photos of kitchens you like, a short list of must-haves, your budget range and any changes you are considering, such as moving the sink or adding an island. We take the measurements; your preparation makes the 3D design right the first time.

Prepare the Room

  • Clear the counters so walls and corners are visible.
  • Empty the space under the sink so we can see the plumbing location.
  • Make sure we can reach windows, outlets and the area around the range.

What We Measure on Site

Wall lengths, ceiling height, window and door positions, outlets, vents, plumbing and gas locations, and how square the corners are. These details turn into a buildable 3D design. Read free 3d kitchen design vs apps to see why on-site measurements matter.

After the Visit

We prepare your 3D design and quote, and you adjust it until it is right. To think about workflow before the visit, read kitchen work triangle. Book your free 3D kitchen design, or browse kitchen cabinet guides.
