Before
Fillers that gap, appliance panels that never sit flush, and drawers that hit the trim — all signs that the room was measured after the cabinets were ordered.

Cabinet Installation in Houston
Service — Cabinetry
Shop-drawn. Box-jointed. Signed inside.
We do not install flat-pack cabinets. Every cabinet we produce is shop-drawn from on-site measurements, box-jointed or dovetailed at the corners, and fitted with inset or overlay doors cut to the opening — not to a standard dimension. The difference is apparent the first time you close the door.
Installation begins with a level line, regardless of whether the floor or ceiling is level. Cabinets shimmed to plumb and level read as intentional. Cabinets racked to follow an out-of-level floor look like they were installed by someone working quickly. The scribe molding where the cabinet meets the wall is cut, not caulked.
Cabinetry concerns
Cabinetry has to work in inches, not intentions.
Cabinet problems show up in everyday annoyance: a drawer that hits trim, filler that looks accidental, a refrigerator panel that never sits right, or storage that misses the way the room is used.
Nova treats cabinetry as part of the architecture. We verify measurements, clearances, hardware, appliance specs, trim, crown, and surrounding finishes before installation begins.
What the room becomes
From cabinets that almost fit to storage that was made for the room.

How we approach it
Three things that set this work apart.
Not every remodeler thinks this way. These are the commitments that separate a careful project from a forgettable one.
- 01
Every box drawn on site, not from plans.
We measure the actual room, produce shop drawings from those measurements, and build to the drawing. Variations between plan dimensions and field dimensions are resolved before production, not during installation.
- 02
Scribe molding cut to fit. Never caulked.
The scribe at a wall is a thin piece of material cut to the exact profile of the wall — every bump, every wave. A caulked gap is a gap. A scribed fit is a joint.
- 03
We sign the inside of every drawer face.
Initials and date, in ink, on the inside of a drawer face when the job is complete. You have our number for the rest of the cabinet's life. It is a small thing that means something to us.
How the work looks
The build process behind this work.
Prepare
The page shows the condition, protection, and layout work that happens before finish materials appear.
Install
Mid-project imagery makes the company feel real and communicates skill without overexplaining it.
Finish
Finish-stage visuals connect the technical work to the polished result homeowners are buying.
Materials and craft
The finish only works when the layers beneath it are correct.
Interior remodeling is won in prep: substrate repair, trim alignment, layout marks, acclimation, and the order in which each trade touches the room.
Surface preparation
Walls, floors, and openings are assessed before finish work so uneven framing or damaged substrate does not telegraph through the final product.
Finish coordination
Paint, millwork, tile, flooring, and lighting are sequenced together so one beautiful decision does not create a problem for the next trade.
Protection standards
Floors, HVAC returns, adjacent rooms, and furniture paths are protected with the same seriousness as the work area itself.

Consultation
A measured conversation before a measured scope.
We start by understanding the room, the frustrations, the desired finish level, and the constraints. From there, we can recommend the right scope rather than fitting a standard package onto a house that deserves better.
- Walk the room and document concerns
- Discuss material direction and timeline
- Define a realistic scope before pricing
