Cabinet Installer Recommendation?

Does anyone recommend a good carpenter/cabinet installer in the Baton Rouge area? I already have the cabinets, I’d like someone who knows what they’re doing, good at it, to install them.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Are these premade cabinets that you purchased?

May have to get a handyman because some cabinet guys might not want to fool with stuff they didn't build.

Anyone w carpenter skills should suffice. Hire a handy man.

Check youtube out to do it yourself. Not hard to do at all.

I’m learning real quick that’s true. I get it for sure. I do, however, want whoever installs them to have experience with them. We’ve done a lot of work ourselves to save money and it looks good right now. Because we’ve saved, I might be able to afford a good handyman with experience to get high quality finish work.
Thanks for the input.

Ha! Oh it’s “easy” no doubt. I just need to make sure they lean backwards so nothing slides out right?? Ha!
Nah, I don’t want it to look like I installed them.

Using a 6' level and door shims for that bases is the trick.
Tops, one just pops a level line, install a 1x2 along the bottom. Mark wall studs and just lift and rest the cabinet and screw in.

quote:a ledger board makes it simple. It takes a little patience to get all the cabinets completely level since they are not always square, but it’s not difficult at all. But if you are installing crown mounding, that may be beyond some people’s skills.

Brett Conrad 225-247-1380 did mine after the flood. He is meticulous! But he does seem to like to work from 6:00pm to 6:00am. So if you are in the house at that time, it could be weird.

In new construction, usually the trim carpenters hang them. Look at some new houses and ask around for trim carpenters numbers. Inn nola the going rate is around $50 per box.

You get them from DL? I have a couple of carpenters that work for me and install the cabinets we get from DL all the time. There are a few tricks to making them look really good, other than that pretty straight forward for someone that knows what they are doing
