How long do professionally painted cabinets last?

• <div><p>Professionally painted cabinets should last anywhere from eight to 10 years. However, your painted kitchen cabinets require maintenance and upkeep—paint attracts dirt, grime, and dust. So you’ll need to clean your cabinets regularly and fix any damage immediately.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if my walls are right for frameless cabinets?

• <div><p>Walls in good condition with an even surface should be fine for frameless cabinet installation. Older, uneven, or warped walls could create problems. Your studs and their spacing are especially important, since frameless cabinets rely so much on wall attachments. Call in a professional installer for a consultation if you aren&rsquo;t sure.</p></div>

Q: Should I put hinges on the cabinet door or the frame first?

• <div><p>Unless otherwise specified in the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions, in most cases you should attach the hinges to the cabinet door before attaching it to the cabinet frame. Once you attach the hinge to the door, you can then align it with the cabinet frame and screw it firmly into place. Be sure to consult the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for best practices.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a pantry be?

• <div><p>Make sure your shelves are no more than 12 inches deep. Any deeper and it will become hard to access items towards the back of the shelf. Yet, for larger walk-in pantries, homeowners may prefer 15- to 18-inch shelving to make room for larger appliances and cookware. </p></div>

Q: Can you remove cabinets without removing countertops?

• <div><p>Yes, there is a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-lower-kitchen-cabinets.htm">way to remove base cabinets without damaging countertops</a>. Before removing the cabinets, carefully unscrew the countertops from their underside and use a pry bar to break the bond of the adhesives. Have a helper ready to support the loosened countertops and assist you in safely setting them aside while you proceed with cabinet removal.</p></div>
