Is it possible to hang a heavy cabinet without a wall stud?

• <div><p>It’s best to stick with lightweight cabinets, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard</a>, if you don’t have a wall stud to secure them to. Unless you’re attaching the cabinet to a flat board attached to wall studs, it’s best not to risk it with heavy cabinetry or contents. Solid wood cabinets and heavy dishware should be avoided if you cannot secure the cabinet to a wall stud. Either way, always check the weight on your wall anchors and be sure not to exceed it.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of lower-priced kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Durability and appearance are the two main drawbacks to installing budget kitchen cabinets, which are often made of less-durable wood or plastic. You're also limited to stock options, meaning you may have a small selection from which to choose.</p><p>On the plus side, you can always paint these more affordable kitchen cabinets to make them look the way you want.</p></div>

Q: What is the standard kitchen soffit height?

• <div><p>The standard kitchen soffit begins at least <b>7 feet and 1 inch</b> above the floor. In kitchens with very high ceilings, the soffit height may be taller. Consult your kitchen remodeling contractor about the best soffit dimensions for your kitchen to ensure high-quality and visually appealing results.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to paint or replace kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>It is cheaper to paint kitchen cabinets than to replace them. Painting costs range from <b>$400 to $1,300</b>, based on the size and complexity of the project and the average costs in your area. In contrast, replacing kitchen cabinets can cost several thousand dollars, including materials, installation, and potential modifications to countertops and plumbing. </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>

"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."
