Outlet placement and appliance garages

Kitchen outlets can be integrated beneath cabinets or inside appliance garages where permitted, keeping power useful and backsplashes cleaner.

Lighting and power on one of our Chicago jobs

What decides it

The cleanest location is not useful if a cord cannot reach it or a drawer collides behind it. We coordinate appliance positions, cabinet interiors and required accessibility before placing each outlet.

Why this is worth doing properly

Good lighting reaches the counters instead of the back of your head, and good power planning gives modern appliances the circuits they require. A licensed electrical contractor performs the electrical work on our schedule.

What you get from us

  • 01

    Solve the layout before ordering

    Aisles, appliance doors, the distance from sink to range and clearance behind the stools are drawn to scale first. Correcting the layout after cabinets arrive is no longer a design change.

  • 02

    Specify appliances before cabinets

    Every appliance comes with exact opening, ventilation and clearance requirements. Reading them before the cabinet order prevents permanent gaps, blocked doors and improvised fillers.

  • 03

    One crew throughout

    The same crew carries the job from demolition through final trim. Separately licensed plumbing, electrical and gas contractors work within the same coordinated schedule.

  • 04

    Nothing hidden without approval

    If demolition reveals structural load, a blocked drain route or old wiring, you receive photographs and a written price before the condition is covered.
