Is this standard?

| My cabinets are installed, the trim and light rail are in. However, they did not fill the nail holes. My KD/cab salesperson said that was up to me. Really? 16k on cabinets and I need to fill nail holes? I am just wondering if that is SOP. |

| No it's not standard! I would screaming bloody murder if I spent 16 grand on cabinets and they didn't fill -- or cover -- the nail/screw holes. In our case they covered the screw holes with the colored dot things inside the cabinets, which was totally fine by me. I wouldn't expect them to fill and stain the holes, I just wouldn't want to see screw heads in my cabs after spending all that dough. |

| No way is that the responsibility of the owner. That is part of the install. |

| *spits water on monitor* Tell that KD to get his/her can over there with the appropriate filler! Good LORD the nerve of some of these people. Your responsibility? Yeesh. |

| Yes, it really rubs me the wrong way too. The hardware is not on yet and I have not paid the remainder of the balance (30%) so we will have a little chat today during templating. |

| 16,000 and you do the work? Are they nuts? |

| Tell your KD-installer to buy some nail plugs on the way over and have her install them. Definitely not your job. |

| Sorry. I'm new here and have never done a kitchen remodel. Can someone explain what nail holes deserve to be filled? |

| There was a very similar thread posted either earlier this year or late last year--maybe you have the same KD/Cabinet guy as that other unlucky GWer!! Check for nails/screws that protrude through the cabinet sides as well! |
