New Cabinets:

Countertop measurements for new cabinets and for the replacement of stragiht-edge countertops are done in the same manner. Straight-edged tops often have non-standard depths. For this reason, your countertop supplier must know the exact dimensions of the cabinets.

1.	Measure the total length for each cabinet segment along the back wall.

2.	Measure the depth of each cabinet segment. Be sure to give the exterior dimension, excluding the thickness of the door.

3.	Verify if the angle is a true 90 degrees. Measure three feet on the wall from the corner and four feet on the other side and mark both measurements. Measure the cross distance between the two wall points. A perfect 90 degree wall corner should indicate five feet.

4.	Indicate the location of walls and appliances.

5.	Complete the finishing instructions
