Q: What is the size of a standard cabinet drawer?

• <div><p>Standard kitchen cabinet drawers measure between 12 and 36 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and between 4 and 10 inches tall. Drawers are designed to fit with your cabinets, so a 36-inch-wide cabinet would have a 36-inch-wide drawer. The finished height of your cabinet should be 34 &frac12; inches to the top for a base cabinet, so if you have a 4-inch deep drawer, the cabinet below will be 30 &frac12; inches tall.</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean your cabinets?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to give your cabinets a quick once-over <b>every week</b>. Every six months or so, you may want to double down on the elbow grease and give the exteriors a more thorough wipe down. Additionally, you'll probably need to pull out all the stops once a year to really deep clean the interior. If you&rsquo;re not too keen on the idea of cleaning your own kitchen cabinets, you can always hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/house-cleaning/">house cleaner near you</a> to tackle it for you. They&rsquo;ll have the expertise to make sure every cabinet is spotless.</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: What are some pros and cons of custom cabinets?

• <div><p>Like most special-order items, custom cabinets have several pros and cons to consider when buying new cabinets. Custom cabinets are typically more expensive than prefabricated cabinet options, but the work often reflects the quality. Custom cabinets tend to last 20 or more years, but the time it takes to install them is typically longer than other cabinets&mdash;roughly 6 to 8 weeks on average from the time of ordering. However, a major benefit is the ability to personalize every aspect of your cabinetry, from <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-look-kitchen-cabinet-hardware.htm">cabinet hardware</a> to custom paint colors. </p></div>

Rico did a wonderful job and he made everything work great. He had a universal control which we bought from him and he programed for us our equipment. He had to spend some extra time and effort making things work with our receiver but he did it and it works great.
