What causes water-damaged kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Because of their location, kitchen cabinets are susceptible to water damage from sinks and household appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers. The back wall of kitchen cabinets is often obscured by its contents, making it harder to detect <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-water-seeping-through-our-laminate-wood-floor.htm">water seeping through the floor</a> and into the unit from plumbing, window leaks, and broken appliances. When the water isn’t immediately dried and is left to sit there, it penetrates the cabinets and leaves them damaged.</p></div>

Is a kitchen peninsula outdated?

• <div><p>Peninsulas used to be all the rage in kitchens, but over the last few decades, they’ve been replaced by the kitchen island. However, that doesn’t mean peninsulas are outdated. If you want to add extra seating and storage to your kitchen but don’t have room for a large, bulky island, a peninsula can be just as beneficial an addition.</p></div>

Q: How do I ensure drawers fit properly?

• <div><p>Careful measurement is crucial&mdash;measure multiple times and account for hardware thickness, seasonal wood movement, and clearance requirements. Test-fit components before final assembly, and consider building one drawer as a prototype before cutting materials for multiple units.</p></div>

Q: Can I change the cabinet hardware after installation?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drawer-cabinet-hardware-pulls.htm">cabinet hardware</a> after installation to change up the look of your cabinets. Replacing the hinges, handles, pulls, and knobs allows you the design flexibility to match your other appliances or finish schemes to your liking. Talk with your kitchen designer or cabinet installer about the best hardware option for your cabinets.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't sand cabinets?

• <div><p>If you don't sand your cabinets, the new paint or stain won&rsquo;t adhere properly, impacting the final finish and leading to peeling, chipping, or a sloppy result that won't stand the test of time. Sanding removes the old finish, smooths imperfections, and gives the new coat something to grip. Without it, you will waste your time, money, and effort.</p></div>

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.

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...

After a different plumber tried and failed to fix our backed up kitchen sink, he recommended City Sewer Services. Joel was punctual, friendly, and courteous. He was careful while he was working. He didn't make much of a mess, and cleaned up what little there was. I'm so happy to have a...

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...
