Q: Should you tip cabinet installers?

• <div><p>You aren&rsquo;t obligated to tip cabinet contractors, but you can choose to do so if they went above and beyond and you want to show your gratitude. This is usually something in the ballpark of 10% to 15% of your total cost. As an alternative, you can provide snacks and drinks for workers and/or offer to serve as a reference for prospective customers.</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: In what order do you install a new kitchen?

• <div><p>The order of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/step-by-step-guide-to-remodel-kitchen.htm">steps for your kitchen remodel</a> depends on the project scope, layout, and contractor availability. However, typically, you would install plumbing and electrics first, then insulation and drywall, before moving on to the flooring, cabinetry, and countertops. Appliances usually go in last. You can then take the time to add the fixtures, hardware, and other final personal touches.</p></div>

Q: Do you place heavier loads on lower or middle shelves?

• <div><p>Any of your garage shelves should be able to hold heavier loads, but it&rsquo;s best to place heavier items on middle shelves. The only reason for this is to prevent injury&mdash;lifting heavy loads from down low requires squatting or bending over, which can lead to back injury, and lifting heavy loads off of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-overhead-garage-storage.htm">high shelves in the garage</a> can be especially dangerous if you drop them.</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>

I would highly recommend this provider and will hire again as needed! He was hired to "clean up" work that was left unfinished by another contractor and did a fantastic job. I should have hired Curt in the first place, if only I had known of him at the time. He came to my home on time, gave a...
