Ready To Install Kitchen Cabinets
So, you've weighed all your options and decided as a part of your kitchen remodeling project to go with ready to install kitchen cabinets. What more should you consider before proceeding? First of all there is more information available about this subject than you will likely know what to do with. Let's narrow it down to a few short needful facts:
Find someone who will commit to helping you until the project is completed. Kitchen cabinets are heavy and people are busy, if you have a friend who will stick with you until your project is done, that's great. Sometimes though friends will give the go ahead but later your stuck with the project yourself. Be sure even if you need to pay someone, your help will not quit in the middle of the project.
Proper hardware is a must, (be sure to check the contents of your package to ensure the proper hardware came with the box) and don't forget to consider the tools needed to complete this project. Whether making an adjustment to some hinges or knobs a screw driver is a must. What other tools should you have in your arsenal? Here is a brief list: Hammer, power drill, stud finder, level and a tape measure. If you can not find a volunteer to help you with the install, you will need a cabinet jack. A cabinet jack will hold the cabinets in place while you mount them to the wall.

Don't forget to prepare the area. Nothing is as it seems, what may seem like a manageable project that you think will take a few hours will likely need an entire weekend. If you work a great deal and are expecting to take a few more days, make sure to protect the rest of the area from wood shavings or fallen pieces of metal, especially if there are little ones in the house. If your new kitchen cabinets will require painting, then obviously you will want to prep the floor with a durable cloth and perhaps the walls with painters tape just in case. The rest of the job requires proper measuring, outlining and patience. Sometimes up close you may think you have everything outlined perfect, but my advice would be after you get the area measured and marked properly step back and make sure things look lined up. If you have a cabinet jack, you can leave the cabinets in place to see that everything is right where you want it. Up close it is difficult to see any miscalculations. Once you have confirmed the location and measurements are correct, you are ready to hang. |
