How do I prepare to have new cabinets installed?

• <div><p>As a homeowner, there are a few things you can do to prepare for your cabinet installer. Once the cabinets are ready for your home, you can do the following:</p><ul><li><p>Ensure pets are safely in another room, out of the way of open doors and large moving objects.</p></li><li><p>Clear countertops for removal.</p></li><li><p>Tidy the floor the installers will walk through and around. </p></li><li><p>Prepare to have the installers in your home for the entire day, for multiple days, until the project is done. Expect to have a noisy environment, especially if they will remove old, existing cabinets. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you buy prefabricated built-in bookshelves?

• <div><p>Most built-in bookshelves are custom-made to fit the available space and meet a homeowner's needs. This level of customization allows you to design the exact look and functionality you desire. However, you can buy cheaper, prefabricated bookshelves to slot into your desired space. However, prefabricated designs might not slot in as snuggly or need to be adjusted to fit.</p></div>

Q: When remodeling a kitchen, do you do floors or cabinets first?

• <div><p>Contractors commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cabinets-or-flooring-first.htm">install floors before cabinets</a> during a kitchen remodel. It&rsquo;s the standard option when installing hardwood, vinyl, and tile flooring. Installing flooring first helps prevent height misalignment, ensures a seamless appearance, and saves extra flooring work and costs if you plan to replace or remove any cabinets later.</p></div>

Q: Can you convert face frame cabinets to frameless or vice-versa?

• <div><p>The designs are different enough that a conversion would mean more or less fully replacing cabinets to switch between the two. However, if you really like the frameless look but you have face frame cabinets, you may be able to mimic the style by replacing your cabinet doors with full overlay ones.</p></div>

Q: What if my cabinets don’t have attached hardware?

• <div><p>Many cabinets use &ldquo;J-pulls&rdquo; or other handless designs. However, frequent use also gets these areas very dirty over time. A simple household cleaner and a soft washing cloth is usually enough to clean these areas when grime builds up. Adding a layer of lemon oil or beeswax can help prevent finishes from wearing off.</p></div>

Having made a specific date and time for the work to be done but the contractor didn't show up and didn't called ang text to let me know that they're not coming. I've taken all those knobs and everything off because he was going to replace that too but no one showed.

Not only did we find a great contractor but made new friends. I was very happy to find someone to get some repairs and painting done before winter. Very satisfied with the job. We will hire again for more repair and painting. Laura and Orlando were a delight to work with.

Excellent! I gave him a very rough drawing of what I was hoping for and he was able to reproduce exactly! He even had some cost-effective tips for building, such as customizing a premade cabinet instead of making one from scratch.

Steve and the crew did a fabulous job painting the entire house. When we moved in a month ago, the walls and cabinets looked old and worn. Now that the work is done, our home looks brand new! And the smell of smoke from the previous owner is GONE!!!

Tony was very good about discussing our plans, and figuring out alternative ways to do things that kept our costs down. I had suggestions about the building materials and better ways to insulate. Other contractors I talked to weren't as knowledgeable about the new methods, or weren't willing to...

We were very impressed with Joe and his remodeling company. The final decision between contractors came down to Sattler's policy of not providing as detailed a breakdown of the price estimate (as we prefer) as well as a 10% higher cost. From start to finish of our contacts with Joe Sattler...
