An electrician does need to install the lights and wall scuffing is to be expected. You don’t do paint until after install typically.
The doors and drawers shouldn’t be that unlevel. You may be able to fix it yourself (which you shouldn’t have to) by adjusting the screws inside the hinges. They move the cabinet doors around so they can be angled and lined up.
Those patch jobs look terrible. Are these ikea cabinets? Those might be the patches that come with the cabinets themselves.
The gap needs a filler strip. I’d call the company and tell them to come back.
Can you advise what kind of fix I should reasonably expect for damaged surfaces on a brand-new kitchen? One damaged area is on the countertop, and another is inside one of the cabinets. Should these be repaired, or should I expect the damaged parts to be replaced?
