In the world of premium kitchen remodeling, success is measured in millimeters. At GG Kitchen & Bath, we’ve perfected a proprietary measurement methodology that eliminates the guesswork from cabinet installations, ensuring every component fits with surgical precision. Our laser-focused approach to spatial analysis goes far beyond basic tape measurements, incorporating advanced technologies and decades of field experience to create kitchens where every millimeter performs flawlessly.
The difference between good and exceptional cabinetry lies in the invisible details – the perfect reveal between doors, the effortless glide of drawers, the seamless integration of appliances. These triumphs of craftsmanship all begin with one critical step: exacting measurements that account for your home’s unique architecture, seasonal material movements, and functional requirements.
Why Standard Measurements Fail Custom Cabinetry
Traditional measurement techniques using tape measures and basic leveling tools often miss critical nuances that can derail a kitchen installation:
- Structural variations: Few walls are perfectly plumb or floors completely level
- Material behavior: Wood expands and contracts with humidity changes
- Hidden obstacles: Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC elements that impact design
- Functional clearances: The precise space needed for appliance doors and pull-outs
Our 7-point measurement protocol addresses these challenges through:
- Laser scanning that captures 300,000 data points per minute
- Climate assessment to predict material movement
- Load analysis for heavy countertop support
- 3-axis leveling that reveals true vertical and horizontal planes
This scientific approach prevents common installation issues like binding drawers, misaligned doors, or countertops that require shimming – problems that often don’t surface until the final installation phase with conventional measuring methods.
The GG Kitchen & Bath Precision Measurement Process
Phase 1: Digital Capture
Using industrial-grade laser scanners, we create a millimeter-accurate 3D point cloud of your existing kitchen space. This captures:
- Wall irregularities (often varying ±15mm in older homes)
- Ceiling height fluctuations
- Out-of-square corners (a frequent challenge in Atlanta’s historic properties)
Phase 2: Environmental Analysis
We document:
- Current humidity levels
- Sun exposure patterns
- Seasonal movement history of flooring
This data informs our material recommendations and installation timing to minimize post-installation adjustments.
Phase 3: Functional Mapping
By analyzing:
- Primary cook’s workflow patterns
- Appliance access requirements
- Traffic flow needs
We ensure the final design accommodates how you actually use your kitchen, not just how it looks on paper.
Measurement Technologies That Set Us Apart
Laser Plane Projection
Projects perfectly level and plumb reference lines throughout your space, revealing deviations invisible to the naked eye. Essential for:
- Cabinet alignment
- Backsplash installation
- Appliance integration
Infrared Moisture Detection
Identifies hidden moisture in walls and subfloors that could impact material stability over time. Critical for:
- Warp-prone solid wood cabinetry
- Moisture-sensitive MDF components
- Under-cabinet lighting installations
Load-Bearing Analysis
Uses pressure-sensitive mapping to:
- Calculate optimal support points for stone countertops
- Determine weight distribution for pull-out systems
- Plan for heavy appliance placements
Solving Common Measurement Challenges
Historic Home Irregularities
Atlanta’s charming older homes present unique measurement hurdles we routinely overcome:
- Settled foundations: Compensated through custom cabinet shimming systems
- Plaster wall variations: Addressed with adjustable mounting solutions
- Non-standard spacing: Resolved through made-to-measure cabinetry
Modern Construction Complexities
Even new builds require our expertise for:
- Tolerance stacking: When multiple slight deviations combine to create major issues
- Manufacturer discrepancies: Where “standard” sizes vary between brands
- Design intent vs. reality: Ensuring the built space matches architectural plans
The Cost of Inaccurate Measurements
While some contractors cut corners on measurements to save time, the consequences quickly erase any perceived savings:
Material Waste
Even 5mm errors in cabinet measurements can require:
- Complete refabrication of custom components
- Costly expedited shipping for replacements
- Storage fees for incorrect pieces
Labor Overruns
Installation delays from measurement errors typically add:
- 15-30% to project timelines
- 20-40% to labor costs
- Countless homeowner frustrations
Compromised Functionality
Settling for “close enough” measurements leads to:
- Doors that rub or won’t close properly
- Drawers that stick in humid weather
- Countertops with visible gaps
