What causes water-damaged kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-water-seeping-through-our-laminate-wood-floor.htm">water seeping through the floor</a> 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.</p></div>

Is it less expensive to buy cabinets or have them built?

• <div><p>It is much more cost-effective to purchase semi-custom and stock cabinets than to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stock-custom-how-choose-best-cabinets.htm">build custom cabinets</a>. You’ll pay between <b>$500 and $1,200 per linear foot</b> for custom cabinets, <b>$100 to $650 per linear foot</b> for semi-custom, and <b>$100 to $300 per linear foot</b> for stock cabinets. However, stock cabinets don’t allow you to customize cabinetry for an odd-shaped room or one with high ceilings.</p></div>

Q: Which cabinet choice is best for a European-style kitchen?

• <div><p>Frameless cabinets fit the space-saving, minimalist attributes of European-style kitchens more than face frame models. That also makes them a good pick for apartments and dorms, as well as any more modern-style kitchen.</p></div>

Q: Are inset cabinets the same dimensions as other cabinet types?

• <div><p>Yes, you can find inset cabinets that come in the same standard sizes as other types of kitchen cabinets. Or, as is the case with any type of cabinet, you can order custom inset cabinets in any dimensions you want. That said, inset cabinets sometimes have less storage space compared to frameless ones. </p></div>

Q: How to protect cabinets from stove heat?

• <div><p>You can install a range hood and use the vent to protect your kitchen cabinets from heat and steam from the stovetop. For added heat protection, homeowners can install metal heat shields to exposed sections of the cabinets. It is also essential to keep cabinet surfaces clean by removing any grease buildup that can cause a fire.</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.
