Q: Do I need to sand cabinets before staining?

• <div><p>Yes, sanding cabinets before you stain them helps the new stain better adhere to the surface. If you&rsquo;re adding a darker stain to previously stained wood, you only have to sand them lightly enough to remove any finish and rough up the wood to improve adhesion. On the other hand, if you&rsquo;re trying to stain wood that is a darker color or that has paint on it, you need to sand down to the original wood, or the color will show through the new stain.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint bathroom cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t want to sand your bathroom cabinets before painting, it&rsquo;s possible to make it work. However, sanding the cabinets for a long-lasting paint job is always best. Make sure your cabinets are in good shape, choose high-quality paint, and use a deglosser. The deglosser strips the paint, varnish, or stain from the cabinets to give you a clean slate to work from.</p></div>

Q: How long does a kitchen cabinet last?

• <div><p>Many kitchens have their original cabinets, so kitchen cabinets can last as long as the house does. If there&rsquo;s an issue with your sink, a flood, or a fire, your cabinets could be damaged. Outside of that, with proper care, your cabinets should last quite a while, especially if they&rsquo;re built from long-lasting materials like wood or steel. </p></div>

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: What size drawers need two pulls?

• <div><p>If you have a drawer larger than 30 inches, you should consider adding two pulls, but, again, this decision is up to personal preference. Any pro you work with on cabinet installation can help you determine how many pulls you need and where you should place them.</p></div>
