Tips for a Happy Kitchen Remodel - Order countertops after the cabinets are in

From TheFamilyHandyman.com


Measure installed cabinets before ordering


Measure your installed cabinets to determine the countertop dimensions—don’t use the ones on your plans. The row of cabinets may have a different dimension after installation due to out-of-square walls. Place a carpenter’s square in the corner over the end cabinet. The corner might be narrower than the rest of the wall because of layers of joint compound. Measure to the farthest point on the wall over the cabinets to avoid an ugly gap between the countertop and the wall after the countertops are installed.
