Always make sure you understand the policies and charges before starting service with a new company.
We will go over these six steps:
Before you install your cabinets you need to know the following: If you are not sure of the following your contractor will be able to help you.
Know where your electrical outlets and wires will be placed and what appliances need electricity such as microwaves, TV, lighting, stove, dishwasher, fridge, etc. Remember the phone placement and its wires also.
Know where your plumbing will be for the sink and dishwasher.
Know if you are going to have lighting installed in or on the cabinets.
What type of flooring you will have underneath the cabinets?
Know where your heating ducts are placed, so you don’t cover up a vent.
Know if you would like a special cabinet for only your recycling products.
Know where your cook top and built-in wall oven will be located.
You will need to know what size your oven/range will be so your cabinets fit properly.
If you are doing a full remodel you will need to know where new windows will be placed.
You should have your walls painted before your cabinets are installed.
Keep at least one cabinet between the stove and refrigerator. To help keep energy costs low.
Keep the dishwasher near the sink, for easy water and drain hookup along with garbage disposal. It also provides easy loading from the sink.
Measurement day
Have your appliances out of the way, preferably in another room. Use a professional to disconnect and reconnect gas lines for stoves and other appliances that use gas. Electric stoves/ovens require a 220 volts line. A professional electrician is always recommended for disconnections and connections.
Make sure you have enough room between the base cabinets and the over head cabinets to your liking.
Preparation before installing your cabinets
It is a good idea to protect your floors when you are bringing in cabinets. Use a drop cloth to help protect your floors. Also cover anything that you don’t want dusty. When installing cabinets it could stir up some dust. Also you may want to put a drop cloth over any open door ways to make sure dust does not escape into the rest of your house.
Make sure pets stay away from the remodeling area for safety.
As a general rule the installers keep their work boots on for their safety.
Installing your cabinets
When the job is nearly complete look for gaps between your cabinets, crooked cabinets and misaligned doors, drawers that are not flush with the cabinets. Double check that the floor cabinets are level as this will play a very important part in counter tops.
Make sure the contractor screwed all the cabinets to the wall. They should screw the cabinets into the actual wall studs and penetrating to the center of the stud. This usually requires at least 3” screws.
Make sure all the joints are tight; the hinges are in proper order, your doors are mounted correctly and that corner bracing is in place.
Make sure that your Lazy Susan works correctly. (If you have one)
Other costs
Most cabinet installers will not remove or hook up electric, plumbing, gas or any other appliances. You will have to have this complete before they arrive to install your cabinets.
General information
It is best for the cabinets to secured with screws instead of nailed in with nails. This makes it easier to remove your cabinets the next time you replace them.
Make sure you understand and follow all the local building rules and codes.
All new building projects are unique and all situations cannot possibly be covered in these guidelines.
