This is so far the best kitchen installation video I've seen on YouTube. I'm a pro installer
-
Finally, a video that actually shows how to do the install, step by step, and does not just gloss over the fine details! I truly appreciate your showing the actual process step by step, with your thorough explanation, instead of just a quick cut to an "after" photo. You are obviously very intelligent and are a great teacher! I am a kitchen & bath designer. I always consult on the installations when needed, but I am no carpenter. I can't tell you how many times clients or their contractors ask me how to install something. I can tell them what I know about properly installing a kitchen, and how to put together what I've designed, but that's where my involvement ends. From now on I'll be directing my DIY clients to your fabulous video. Thank you for the time you spent in making this video!!! It's the best one I've ever seen on the subject.

Josh, you are extremely articulate and able to communicate with great clarity and intricate speech

2 things when framing in kitchens always block for your cabinets 2x6 at 34.5” along all stud bays that get cabinets and then same for your uppers, then no matter where your cabinets land your hitting solid backing. 2nd thing is we always install uppers first, this way your not leaning over the lowers risking damaging them. Also we install cleat at the pre determined height all around to set uppers on to keep them perfectly level and at the right height

I've saved so much money from watching videos like this one. Very clear and detailed info to get the job done right.
-
I am about to do this very project and this was an incredible and helpful video. Thanks for all the details.
-
This was the best instructional video I have ever seen on this topic. We just fired the company (no names mentioned) who was supposed to install our kitchen cabinets. I was fairly confident that I could do it myself, but after watching this I feel even better. I bet I will go back and watch it several more times before I'm done. Thanks so much for putting this out.

Josh, you are excellent at going over the small details in this video. Just in time for my install.
-
Your video is awesome! I especially love your tape measure is as experienced and seasoned as you are.

Best cabinet installation video I've seen. Very instructive and easy to understand

This video is perfect, I am installing cabinets my wife and I ordered from Lowes and have the same kind of plans. Awesome instructional video
-
@theexcellentlaborer THANK YOU 🙏 An actual detailed video on the how and not just a sped up voice over. Really genuinely appreciate your video.
-
I love the box idea. I have seen cabinet jacks, but they dont work well without the counter top. The box will also enable perfect leveling more so than just a board on the wall!

So happy to have found your Video of Cabinet installation ! I learned more in the first five minutes than other videos . My Kitchen Remodel is much harder than most , recycling nicer Kitchen Cabinet's to an Old Kitchen ! I realize it isn't going to fit perfectly , an will have to build cabinets to fill in to be complete ! Thank You for a wonderful Professional Installation Video !!?
