🛠 Kitchen Renovation Tip — Brooklyn, NY

If you’re renovating a **kitchen in Brooklyn** , especially in older brownstones or pre-war apartments, **cabinet sizing and wall unevenness** are things you _must_ plan for early.

One mistake I see often: people ordering stock cabinets without accounting for **out-of-square walls**. In Park Slope and Bed-Stuy homes, walls are rarely perfectly straight, which leads to gaps, filler nightmares, or last-minute carpentry costs.

**What worked well for us:**

- Using **semi-custom cabinets** for flexibility

- Leaving **1–1.5 inches of buffer** on each run

- Scribing fillers on-site instead of forcing cabinets to fit

**Material tip (local):**  
We sourced plywood and trim from **Dykes Lumber (Brooklyn)** — more expensive than big box stores, but straighter stock and fewer delays.

**Takeaway:**  
If you’re renovating in Brooklyn, budget time and money for wall corrections or flexible cabinetry. It’ll save you stress _and_ money later.
