Is it better to strip or sand kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>When deciding between stripping or sanding kitchen cabinets, the short answer is it depends on the condition of your cabinets and your end goal for them. If the cabinets are in fairly good condition and don’t have several layers of paint on them, sanding is a good option. On the other hand, older cabinets with more blemishes or marks will benefit from paint stripping, since it will give any future finishes a clean slate. </p></div>

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>

How should I organize my kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>There are a few items that will make organizing and reorganizing your cabinets a breeze. Invest in some:</p><ul><li><p>Rollout shelves</p></li><li><p>Drawer organizers</p></li><li><p>Bins to house cereal, pasta, and other pantry items</p></li><li><p>Lazy Susans for spices</p></li></ul><p>We also advise hanging your pots and pans from the wall or ceiling to save valuable cabinet space. If this sounds daunting, hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/home-organizers/">local professional organizer</a> to get things in order.</p></div>

Q: What is the size of a standard cabinet drawer?

• <div><p>Standard kitchen cabinet drawers measure between 12 and 36 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and between 4 and 10 inches tall. Drawers are designed to fit with your cabinets, so a 36-inch-wide cabinet would have a 36-inch-wide drawer. The finished height of your cabinet should be 34 &frac12; inches to the top for a base cabinet, so if you have a 4-inch deep drawer, the cabinet below will be 30 &frac12; inches tall.</p></div>

Q: What kind of wood should I use for garage shelves?

• <div><p>Standard 2x4 boards and plywood or particle boards are sturdy and cost-effective for making garage shelves, and pressure-treated 2x4s are best for any portion that will contact an unfinished concrete slab in the garage. You can create custom shelving with these materials or use standard sizes for fewer cuts. Plywood and 2x4s are easy to work with and cut with a standard miter saw. The natural wood offers a modern look and will hold up for decades.</p></div>
