Appliance clearances from the spec
Fridge, ice maker and AV openings are built to the manufacturer's ventilation figures rather than to a tidy round number.

Custom cabinets in Hurstbourne are usually built around entertaining, so the brief tends to start somewhere other than the kitchen.
Custom cabinets in Hurstbourne are more often a bar, a media wall or a butler's pantry than a straightforward kitchen. The houses are large and the scope follows how they get used.
That makes appliances and cabling the technical core of most jobs here. Undercounter fridges, ice makers, receivers and displays all have clearance and access requirements, and joinery built without them fails quietly and early.
The pantry is usually where the kitchen's real work moves. Once preparation and small appliances live behind a door, the main run can be laid out for how the room looks with people in it.
Fridge, ice maker and AV openings are built to the manufacturer's ventilation figures rather than to a tidy round number.
Power and data routes go in as the joinery is built, so nothing is chased into a finished wall afterwards.
Bar, media wall and pantry are specified as one scheme, so the detailing carries across rooms people move between.
Each stage is signed off before the next one starts.
We measure the room itself rather than working from the plan, because walls are rarely square and the plan is rarely what got built. Every opening gets checked.
You get a layout and a written estimate broken down by stage, so you can see what the doors cost against the boxes against the install. Free, nothing to sign.
Cabinetry is built to the measurements we took, in the wood, door style and finish you picked. Lead time depends on the scope and we tell you before you commit.
Scribed to the walls, levelled, and fixed properly. Hardware adjusted so every door and drawer sits straight before we leave.
Sealed openings kill fridges and receivers. The spec sheet gives the number.
Larger houses mean several rooms in scope at once, often built in stages. Keeping materials and detailing consistent across those stages takes planning at the start rather than matching later.
Open plans also mean the joinery is seen from further away and from more angles. Runs that meet at a corner or across a sightline have to line up, which is a drawing problem before it is a fitting one.
Finished basements are common in this housing, and that is where most of the bar work goes. Building into a room that has only just been finished brings its own constraint, since running waste or supply for a wet bar means opening up work somebody has recently paid for.
We collect the equipment list first: appliances, their spec sheets, the display size, and what has to be reachable. Those set the openings before anything else is decided.
Then the rooms are drawn together, with cable routes and ventilation built into the carcasses rather than added afterwards.
Build and finish happen in the shop in planned batches, so the bar and the media wall come out of the same finish rather than being matched across months.
Bar and media work is built-ins & bookcases in Louisville, and the primary suite in these houses usually justifies custom closets in Louisville.
Where cabinets are already bought and only need fitting, that is cabinet installation in Louisville. Secondary rooms take laundry room cabinets in Louisville and mudroom cabinets in Louisville.
We also work in cabinets in The Highlands and cabinets in Lyndon, and you can see every area we cover around Louisville.

Yes, and the drainage is the constraint rather than the joinery. Running waste and supply means opening up work that has often only just been finished, so it is worth pricing early.
The spec sheets. Fridges, ice makers and AV equipment all have ventilation clearances, and joinery built to a tidy round number instead of the real figure kills them early.
If they are in the same space or in sight of each other, yes. Specifying them together means one finish batch and detailing that carries across the rooms.
Before the carcasses are built. Routes go in as the joinery is made, which avoids chasing anything into a finished wall afterwards.
We stay inside about 20 miles of Louisville, close enough to measure, template and install without the schedule slipping. These are the areas we cover most often.
