I know there's full service guys like Prestique, but we were hoping to shave some of the costs by doing the install work our selves (did one before with Ikea so we're familar with the process). We won't do the countertops ourselves though.
Thanks!

I would actually recommend Home Depot but the only word of advice I would give you is to check, re-check and then check again when it comes to your measurements.
After you do that make sure you print off all of your measurements on a page with a signature space (including a space to print the name as well) for the Home Depot associate to sign off on when you give them the measurements. Be sure to include the date as well.
While this may not necessarily insure against errors in the manufacturing process I have found this ploy effective in getting the person placing the order to pay extra attention to the details. For some reason when people know you know who they are, have their signature and their agreement as to the correctness of the numbers they tend to try harder to get things right as they don't want to be held accountable for something that could cost their company money.
