Q: How tall should stacked cabinets be?

• <div><p>It depends on your ceiling height. Wall cabinets are typically mounted 54 inches from the floor. So, if you have eight-foot ceilings, you&rsquo;ll need 42-inch-high wall cabinets to fill the gap. And you&rsquo;ll need 54-inch cabinets if you have nine-foot ceilings. But standard-sized cabinets don&rsquo;t come in 54 inches, so you'll need to stack various sizes together. And, if you have ceilings higher than nine feet, it&rsquo;s a good idea to have custom stacked cabinets made to fill your space.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include the removal of old cabinets?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include the removal and disposal of old cabinets. Confirm with your contractor.</p></div>

Q: Do new cabinets increase home value?

"Don't use Venmo if paying with a credit card. Some treat it as a cash advance, and charge 30 %. That's not Jeremy's fault. I would definitely hire him again. He did all the work alone, and in some serious heat. He really cares about his customers, and it shows. I can't recommend him higher."
