When should I repair my cabinets versus replace them?

It’s also best to replace your cabinets if you need more storage space, as this will remove the existing cabinets for new ones. </p></div>

Q: Can anything get in the way of kitchen toppers like extra cabinets?

• <div><p>Before making any big plans, climb up a step ladder and closely examine the top of your cabinets. You&rsquo;ll get to see what sort of clean-up work needs to be done, but you can also check for any unexpected obstacles. Sometimes this space holds electrical boxes, wiring, or even plumbing components. Those will affect plans to install a new layer of cabinets or shelves.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to install a kitchen island?

• <div><p>While most kitchen island installations do not require a permit, some situations do. Any major kitchen renovation will require one, and depending on your municipality, you might also need one if you install new plumbing or electrical work. </p><p>Your kitchen island installation pro will be able to determine if you need a permit for your job, which can run you between <b>$460 and $2,900</b>, depending on the permits required. </p></div>

Q: Can you replace lower cabinets without removing the countertop?

• <div><p>It's possible to replace lower kitchen cabinets without removing the countertop. However, there are some special considerations to keep in mind. Expect to disassemble the existing cabinets without compromising the countertop's support. You might not be able to reuse the cabinets you remove. Next, you'll have to slightly modify the tops of the new cabinets and install blocking after installation to attach the base to the countertop.</p></div>
