Roto Rooter had a plumber out to me almost immediately and he did a good job for a fair price quoted up front. I'd give them an "A" except he accidentally flooded the cabinet under the sink at one point, but otherwise it all went great. I'd use them again.

Cabinet Making questions, answered by experts

Because of their location, kitchen cabinets are susceptible to water damage from sinks and household appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers. The back wall of kitchen cabinets is often obscured by its contents, making it harder to detect water seeping through the floor and into the unit from plumbing, window leaks, and broken appliances. When the water isn’t immediately dried and is left to sit there, it penetrates the cabinets and leaves them damaged.

No, and that’s why adding kitchen cabinets to the ceiling is popular! Whether you match the color of your existing cabinets or not, you can still paint your cabinet boxes with them attached to the wall—making this project much less invasive.

Cabinets should last about 20 years. Of course, the total lifespan of your cabinet depends on the wear and tear it’s put through—the more use and handling, the faster it's prone to needing repair. When looking at your cabinets, look for the following to determine if they need to be repaired or replaced:

Scratches or dents
Water damage
Unpleasant smells
Outdated cabinetry
Continuous dirty or dingy look

The cost to install soft-close drawers is usually around $40 to $100 each when hiring a professional. If you’re looking to DIY, you can pick up soft-close drawer slides for anywhere from $5 to $230 each, depending on the quality and quantity. This price range may vary based on whether you choose a heavy-duty, side mount, under mount, or self-closing slide.

There are a few items that will make organizing and reorganizing your cabinets a breeze. Invest in some:

Rollout shelves
Drawer organizers
Bins to house cereal, pasta, and other pantry items
Lazy Susans for spices

We also advise hanging your pots and pans from the wall or ceiling to save valuable cabinet space. If this sounds daunting, hire a local professional organizer to get things in order.
