The walls are a full inch out of plumb. The client wants to swap upper cabinet heights after the lowers are set. The filler pieces you ordered don't match. SealedScope makes sure every wall prep issue and layout change is signed before you drill the first screw.

Every cabinet installer has been burned by this

📐

Walls are out of plumb, floors aren't level, and corners aren't square. Shimming, scribing, and custom fillers add hours of labor the client didn't expect to pay for.

🔄

Client changes the layout after cabinets are ordered. Moves the sink, adds a lazy Susan, or swaps door styles. Restocking fees and re-orders destroy your timeline.

🔌

Electrical and plumbing rough-ins don't match the cabinet plan. Outlets need to be moved, water lines rerouted, or hood vent ducting reworked before install can proceed.

Change orders cabinet installers deal with on every kitchen

Wall Prep & Leveling

$400 - $2,500

Out-of-square walls requiring furring strips, shimming, or drywall patches. Crown molding reveals gaps that need scribe molding or custom fillers to look right.

Layout Changes & Re-Orders

$800 - $4,000

Client swaps cabinet sizes, adds glass-front doors, or changes hardware after the order ships. Restocking fees, rush shipping, and re-installation labor add up fast.

Appliance Coordination

$300 - $1,800

New appliances don't match the cabinet openings. Dishwasher is wider, fridge is deeper, or the range hood requires a custom surround. Modifications cost extra.

Crown Molding & Trim

$500 - $2,000

Client adds crown molding, light rail, or decorative end panels after the boxes are set. Each piece requires custom cutting, coping, and finishing on uneven ceilings.

Soft-Close & Hardware Upgrades

$400 - $1,500

Client upgrades all hinges to soft-close, adds pull-out organizers, or wants under-cabinet lighting installed. Retrofitting 30+ doors and drawers takes a full day.

Electrical & Plumbing Relocation

$600 - $2,500

Outlets behind the new cabinet layout need to be moved, USB outlets added, or under-cabinet outlets installed. Plumbing rough-ins need adjusting for the new sink position.
