Clients inspect kitchens at two heights: eye level for lines, hand level for feel. Walk both before they do.
Lines and light
Sight down every run for reveal consistency; rake a work light across faces to catch handling marks or dust nibs — daylight will find them later otherwise. Adjust hinges now, note any finish flaw for touch-up before furniture arrives.
Feel and function
Cycle every door and drawer: damper catch, no rub, latch engagement on handleless. Torque handles (loose handles read as cheap), peel protective films fully — edges left behind bake on.
The handover artefacts
Care card on the counter, touch-up kit in the sink cabinet, hinge screwdriver gifted, batch colour noted in the client email. This paragraph is why our contractors' review scores mention 'thorough'.
