Q: Can I buy pre-made inset cabinets?

• <div><p>Yes, there are some options for pre-built inset cabinets&mdash;and RTA ones, too&mdash;but the selection can be somewhat limited. Many homeowners who decide on inset cabinets choose to have them custom made. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my ceilings are too high for cabinet toppers?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll have to make a judgment call. Kitchen ceilings between 8 and 12 feet high typically offer the best-case installations for a new row of cabinets or shelves that will fill the gap. By the time your ceiling reaches 15 feet or higher, as they often do in open floor plans, it&rsquo;s time to embrace the space and consider toppers that don&rsquo;t have to reach all the way to the ceiling. You can still get plenty of extra storage with one of our steps above.</p></div>

Q: How much space is there between bathroom closet shelves?

• <div><p>If you have a bathroom closet with movable shelves, you can place them at virtually any spacing that works for you. Useful measurements between shelves in the working, or middle, section can be 10 to 16 inches for towels or linens. Lower or higher shelving could be up to 24 inches between shelves to store lesser-used or bulky items or boxes. </p></div>

Q: Will paint peel off laminate cabinets?

• <div><p>Preparation is the most crucial and, really, the only secret to a lasting paint job on laminate cabinets. Paint will peel off laminate surfaces that aren't clean and grease-free. Paint will also peel off if there isn't proper etching on the cabinet surfaces. Taking time to deep clean and lightly but thoroughly sand before priming and painting will greatly increase your chances of success and help keep the paint from peeling. </p></div>

Q: How thick should plywood be for shelves?

• <div><p>To successfully <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-shelf-unit.htm">build a shelf unit</a> with plywood, you&rsquo;ll need sheets that are at least 0.25 inches thick. Any thinner and your shelves will be flimsy and less likely to last. Expect to pay around $300 for a professional to build a basic shelving unit, or up to $1,300 for custom built-in shelves.</p></div>

Eric was very patient when explaining what could make the pond more functional and appealing. He was very careful in moving the Koi,frogs and large turtle. Even with the bad weather we had, he got the job done in a timely manner. He was very professional.

Ted got an initial bid from the cabinet maker which he relayed to me but he thought it was too high given what the cabinetery involved (the cabinet and draweres take up the entire closet so only the front needed to look nice). I was completely surprised when Ted said he would haggle with the...
