About our kitchen cabinets

Relocating the sink, adding an outlet for a new island, or opening the kitchen to an adjacent room each bring a permit application through Build Sandy Springs into the project plan. Call today to schedule a design visit and get a written quote that maps the full scope, including any permit work, before the first box is ordered.
Why Sandy Springs Cabinet Co
How We Work
One conversation in your home, one measure, one written quote, then an install date.
The no-permit cabinet swap
Sandy Springs defines cosmetic work, including surface upgrades that do not involve licensed trades and do not change the property footprint, as outside the permit requirement. A like-for-like cabinet replacement, where the old boxes come out and new ones go back in the same positions without moving plumbing or adding electrical circuits, typically fits that definition by the city's own test. The city does not enumerate cabinets specifically on its permit pages, so the work generally falls in the cosmetic category by that standard. Confirm the specific scope with the city before starting, as the city makes the final call on what requires a permit.
In practice, a scoped like-for-like replacement means no plan-review wait and no inspection schedule. The design visit establishes the layout, the measure confirms box sizes and run dimensions, and the factory order follows once the design is signed off. Request a scope-based schedule for kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs, including countertop work, service connections and any return visits rather than assuming a standard duration.
What moves a kitchen into permit territory
Three categories of work each cross from cosmetic to permitted, and all three appear regularly in kitchen renovations.
- Plumbing relocation: Moving the sink, whether to a new wall position or to an island, requires a Plumbing trade permit filed through Build Sandy Springs. The permit covers the rough-in work and requires an inspection before any wall is closed over the new pipe run.
- Electrical additions: Adding an outlet, moving a circuit to a new position, installing a new range circuit, or running a dedicated circuit for under-cabinet lighting each require an Electrical trade permit. The electrical rough-in is inspected before drywall closes.
- Wall removal: Taking down a wall to open the kitchen to an adjacent dining or living space requires an Interior Remodel permit. The Interior Remodel type covers floorplan alterations within the existing building footprint. If the wall is load-bearing, the drawings must show the structural solution replacing its function.
A kitchen project can trigger one category, two, or all three at once. An open-concept conversion with a new island, a repositioned sink and new island outlets requires all three permit types simultaneously. Each is filed separately through Build Sandy Springs and carries its own inspection requirements.
The permit path: apply, review, inspect, complete
Sandy Springs processes residential permits through Build Sandy Springs at sandyspringsga.portal.opengov.com. After an application is submitted, the review team examines the plans. Resubmittal review, if changes are needed, runs approximately three to ten business days depending on project complexity. The permit card is issued after approval and may take up to five business days. For kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs, confirm current product availability and the proposed delivery and installation sequence before committing to dates.
Inspections happen at defined stages. The plumbing rough-in is inspected before the wall is closed. The electrical rough-in is inspected before drywall. The final inspection covers the completed work. Failing an inspection requires corrections and a re-inspection before the project can advance.
A Certificate of Completion is required for alterations to an occupied residence where the property stayed occupied during construction. Compare the Sandy Springs proposal for kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs by scope: retained components, new boxes, hardware, delivery, removal and any separate trade work should be identified before you judge the total. The city issues it after the final inspection passes. That record closes the permit on the property address and travels with the house if the property is sold. A permitted alteration with a Certificate of Completion protects the homeowner in a way that unpermitted work in the same scope does not.
Kitchen cabinet cost in Sandy Springs
The grade of cabinet chosen determines the largest share of cost in a kitchen replacement. Ask how the quoted kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs option changes with cabinet construction, drawer count, specialty fittings and site preparation; confirm which materials and work are actually included. For kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs, request an itemized quote showing box sizes, door and drawer choices, fittings, finish and installation scope rather than relying on a general price range.
What moves the estimate within a grade is door style, species and box construction. A slab door costs less to produce than a shaker profile; raised-panel and full inset cost more. Painted maple and painted MDF sit in the mid-range on species and finish; stained white oak, rift-sawn oak and walnut carry a higher material cost. Plywood box options generally cost more per box than standard particleboard, making it helpful to verify manufacturer core ratings and sealed edges for seasonal humidity.
Specialty units each carry their own line-item estimate: a tall pantry box, a range hood cabinet, an appliance garage, a pull-out trash unit, a corner Lazy Susan. Hardware, pulls and knobs on each door and drawer, is priced per unit. Request a current list of available kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs sizes, finishes and hardware options, and verify the chosen products before reserving an installation date.
A kitchen that triggered a permit carries additional costs beyond the cabinet price. The licensed trade work for plumbing relocation or electrical changes is a separate contract from the cabinet installation.
It is an option when the boxes are structurally sound and the layout is not changing.

Questions
Kitchen Cabinets: Common Questions
Does a like-for-like kitchen cabinet swap usually need a permit in Sandy Springs?
By the city's definition, cosmetic work that does not involve licensed trades and does not alter the property footprint typically sits outside the permit requirement. A replacement where the new boxes go back in the same positions as the old ones, with no plumbing relocated and no electrical changed, generally fits that category. Confirm the specific scope with the city before starting, as the city makes the final call on whether a permit is required for your project.
What work specifically triggers a permit in a Sandy Springs kitchen renovation?
Three categories each require a permit through Build Sandy Springs: relocating the sink or any supply or drain line (Plumbing trade permit), adding or moving an electrical circuit or outlet (Electrical trade permit), and removing or altering a wall (Interior Remodel permit). Any one of the three, or any combination, requires an application before work begins. The design visit maps the full scope so any permit requirements are known before the order is placed.
What is a Certificate of Completion and what does it cost?
A Certificate of Completion is the city's sign-off that a permitted alteration was inspected and met the building code as reviewed. It is required for alterations to an occupied residence where the property stayed occupied during construction. Ask how the quoted kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs option changes with cabinet construction, drawer count, specialty fittings and site preparation; confirm which materials and work are actually included. The certificate closes the permit record on the property address.
When is retaining existing boxes a practical choice for the kitchen replacement in Sandy Springs?
Refacing keeps the existing box carcasses in place and replaces the door fronts, drawer fronts and visible surfaces. It makes sense when the boxes are structurally sound, plumb and free of water damage, and the layout is not changing. If the boxes are damaged, the layout needs to shift, or the appliance spec has changed, a full replacement is the right scope. The design visit evaluates the existing boxes and confirms which path fits the condition of the kitchen.
What does the written quote include?
The written quote itemizes every box by size and type, lists door style, finish and interior fittings, and identifies specialty units as separate line items. Demolition and disposal of the existing cabinets are part of the full-replacement scope. Any permit work identified at the design visit is noted in the quote so the full project cost, including permit fees and trade work, is known before the order is placed.
How long does a kitchen project take from design to install?
For kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs, confirm current product availability and the proposed delivery and installation sequence before committing to dates. Ask the selected Sandy Springs supplier for kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs to distinguish manufacturing, delivery, site preparation and installation stages, and record any dependencies in the project schedule. Request a scope-based schedule for kitchen Cabinets in Sandy Springs, including countertop work, service connections and any return visits rather than assuming a standard duration. The permit process, if required, can often run concurrently with the factory order lead time.
