Refrigerator and panel-ready fitting

Counter-depth, built-in and panel-ready refrigerators are fitted around precise openings, ventilation, water lines, hinges and full door swing.

Appliances and venting on one of our Chicago jobs

What decides it

Panel-ready models require more than a matching door front. Toe-kick depth, ventilation, hinge projection and adjacent handles all affect whether the refrigerator can open fully and align with the run.

Why this is worth doing properly

Appliance specifications control cabinet openings, ventilation, gas placement and electrical circuits. We coordinate those requirements before the cabinet order, with gas and electrical connections performed by separately licensed contractors 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.
