Q: What should be installed first in a kitchen?

• <div><p>In a kitchen installation, starting with the foundation and structural elements before moving on to the finishing touches is essential. Framing, plumbing, and utilities should go first, followed by cabinetry and countertops, then plumbing fixtures and new appliances. Flooring, paint, tile backsplashes, and similar finishing touches should get installed last.</p></div>

Q: What is the price range for installing custom cabinetry?

• <div><p>Depending on materials and design complexity, costs range from $500 to $1,200 per linear foot.</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: How are kitchen cabinets attached to the wall?

• <div><p>Kitchen cabinets can hold a whopping 500 pounds, but that is only possible if you attach them correctly. They must be anchored securely with long screws driven straight into the wall studs for solid support. Depending on your cabinets and the installer, some upper cabinets use specialized hanging systems or brackets for extra reinforcement, ensuring they stay put no matter how full they get. </p></div>
