Q: Is it better to stain or paint old cabinets?

• <div><p>Whether it&rsquo;s better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-paint-stain-wood.htm">stain or paint old cabinets</a> depends on your situation, as each option has pros and cons. Paint offers a smooth, modern look, while stain highlights the natural wood grain for a charming, rustic look. Painting cabinets may cost about 15% more than staining cabinets. While paint tends to be more durable against damage because of its thick coating, stained cabinets hide inevitable dings and scratches better than paint.</p></div>

Q: Are vanities glued to the wall?

• <div><p>Pros screw vanities into the wall with a mounting strip aligned over wall studs. They may also screw the base into the floor through nailing blocks or nail the base into the wall. However, in some cases, pros will glue the vanity mirror onto the wall to keep it from falling. </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.

Q: How do I maintain repaired cabinets?
