It’s not their fault, really.  Because homeowners often misrepresent the project, saying that it’s a simple, level, unencumbered install–when in reality, the contractor has a warped floor to deal with.

So, what I’m giving you is a best-case scenario, and it does not include countertop installation because counters are a completely separate thing.  Also, does not include removing any existing cabinets.
