With tons of available kitchen cabinet choices in the marketplace, it is easier than ever to install kitchen cabinets without hiring an outside contractor and spending a lot of cash.
Nearly any homeowner can install kitchen cabinets over the course of a weekend with the following tips and the help of a good friend.
- Before installing your kitchen cabinets, it is vital that you carefully measure and plan out the space where your new kitchen cabinets will hang or be installed. If you are simply replacing your existing kitchen cabinets, installation using their pattern may be the easiest route or you can create an entirely new layout for installing your new kitchen cabinets. Either way, accuracy of measurements is the key to installing your kitchen cabinets so that they look great and work perfectly.
- Get all of the materials and supplies you will need to install your kitchen cabinets gathered up in one place to make the work flow go more smoothly.
- Remove the existing kitchen cabinets. Once the old cabinets have been removed, now is the optimum time to do any painting that you have planned for your kitchen (before installing your new kitchen cabinets).
- Begin assembling your new kitchen cabinets, but do not attach the doors at this time. Make sure that your kitchen cabinets are assembled as securely and squarely as possible to make installing your kitchen cabinets easier.
- Mark the location of studs in your kitchen walls using a stud finder. Once you have begun installation, keep in mind that most studs are either sixteen or twenty-four inches apart - a good rule of thumb if a cabinet is hiding the stud markers you have made.
- Install the upper kitchen cabinets first. Begin in one corner or one end. You will need a helper at this point to install your kitchen cabinets - to help you lift the kitchen cabinet into position and support the cabinet while you use screws to secure it to the wall.
- Set the bottom cabinets into place. Screw into place.
- Make cutouts for plumbing hookups, electrical outlets, and etc.
- Fit the countertop to the kitchen cabinets and cut sink opening if necessary. Caulk around the countertop.
- Install the kitchen cabinet doors and hardware.
- Stand back and admire your own handiwork. There truly is something to be said about the satisfaction you will find when installing your own kitchen cabinets - as well as saving money by doing-it-yourself.
