Install Kitchen Cabinets In Your New Kitchen

Knowing that you can save yourself thousands of dollars by installing your own kitchen, it is quite possible that you are not quite sure how do install them. I am here to give you some pointers on how to install kitchen cabinets in your new kitchen, giving you the confidence that you can do it.

The very first thing that I suggest that you do is familiarize yourself with the new design. Visualize exactly what the finished product will look like, cabinets, appliance location and even the countertops. In doing so, you will feel more comfortable about yourself and the installation process. Also, make sure that each and every cabinet that you hang is level and plumb. This is probably the most important aspect of a kitchen installation. Take your time and get it right.

Most people fail to recognize the complexity of hanging kitchen cabinets. Just by drawing lines on the walls and slapping the cabinets againts the wall is going to get you into serious trouble. Just slapping the cabinets against the wall and fastening them in place without taking your time is going to create a haphazard looking kitchen. It is funny how many different rough and trim carpenters told me that my work was simple until they actually tried a complex kitchen installation. It was a little funny to see how difficult it actaully was for them to tackle one of the more complex installations. It was not long until they understood that installing kitchen cabinets and actually knowing how to correctly install them was two totally different things.

This does not mean that you cannot do it yourself or that you need to be good with woodworking, it is just that there are some things that you need to understand about installing kitchen cabinets correctly. Making sure that the cabinets are level, plumb, and in a straight line with each other is the most important aspect to any kitchen cabinet installation.

So for example, the countertop fabricator is coming to make up the template for your top and right away notices that the cabinets that you have installed are not straight, have a slight hump in between them or are not perfectly level. He will more than likely advise you that he cannot make the template due to the errors in the installation, pack up his stuff and make a return trip later once the mistakes have been taken care of. Because countertops need to be placed on a level and flat surface, fabricators will not install the tops unless the cabinets are installed perfectly. If you have chosen a stone top and the cabinets have a slight hump in them at some point, the installation is going to get very ugly really fast.

In order for everything to fall into place, your cabinets need to be installed as precisely as possible. By making costly mistakes during the installation, you are basically wasting

the money that you would have saved by installing the cabinets yourself correctly.
