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: How deep should a pantry be?

• <div><p>Make sure your shelves are no more than 12 inches deep. Any deeper and it will become hard to access items towards the back of the shelf. Yet, for larger walk-in pantries, homeowners may prefer 15- to 18-inch shelving to make room for larger appliances and cookware. </p></div>

Q: How far should countertops hang over cabinets?

• <div><p>Countertops typically hang over base cabinets by 1.5 inches. This slight overhang protects cabinet faces from spills and provides a finished look. The overhang may extend 12 inches or more for kitchen islands or breakfast bars to allow for seating and comfortable eating.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required after refinishing cabinets?

• <div><p>Occasional cleaning with non-abrasive cloths, avoiding excessive moisture, and refinishing touch-ups prolong cabinet life and visual appeal magnified over usage.</p></div>

Q: What type of paint is best for painting cabinets?

• <div><p>There are a few different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">types of paints</a> that you can use on cabinets&mdash;latex, acrylic, and oil-based. Most cabinet painters choose latex, but acrylic paints are also a great choice. In addition to the type of paint, you also need to select a finish. Matte finishes tend to be less durable, whereas semi-gloss or high-gloss options are better for highly-used cabinets. </p><p>It&rsquo;s important to note that regular wall paint does not adhere to cabinets correctly&mdash;you&rsquo;ll need cabinet-specific paint. </p></div>

She is a hypochondriac- she always seems to have something wrong with her. She is always making excuses and cancelling appointments. She also talks poorly about her customers to me, which means she probably talks about me to other customers. I would not recommend her to anyone.
