Remodeling Kitchens is a very detail oriented business. A fraction of an inch can potentially send the installation into a tailspin.  In the design phase, a good designer will know that every home has quirks no matter how well built, and how to make allowances for those quirks.  In Kitchen design, function takes precedence over form, but a good Designer can always make function beautiful.  In the end, your new Kitchen will increase the value of your Home.
