Is it less expensive to buy cabinets or have them built?

• <div><p>It is much more cost-effective to purchase semi-custom and stock cabinets than to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stock-custom-how-choose-best-cabinets.htm">build custom cabinets</a>. You’ll pay between <b>$500 and $1,200 per linear foot</b> for custom cabinets, <b>$100 to $650 per linear foot</b> for semi-custom, and <b>$100 to $300 per linear foot</b> for stock cabinets. However, stock cabinets don’t allow you to customize cabinetry for an odd-shaped room or one with high ceilings.</p></div>

Q: Is millwork only wood?

• <div><p>No, millwork doesn&rsquo;t refer only to wood. Millwork materials include soft and hardwood lumber, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), polymer, and composites. While some people may prefer soft or hardwood materials, others opt for MDF, polymer, or composites because they tend to be more budget-friendly. Additionally, wood millwork components tend to be more visually appealing and last longer.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between face frame and inset cabinets?

• <div><p>All inset cabinets are face frame cabinets, but not all face frame cabinets are inset cabinets. You have three main cabinet door styles to choose from with face frame cabinets: inset, partial overlay, or full overlay. With inset cabinets, the doors and drawers are mounted inside the face frames, so the fronts of the cabinets are flush when everything is closed.</p></div>

Q: How thick should plywood be for shelves?

• <div><p>To successfully <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-shelf-unit.htm">build a shelf unit</a> with plywood, you&rsquo;ll need sheets that are at least 0.25 inches thick. Any thinner and your shelves will be flimsy and less likely to last. Expect to pay around $300 for a professional to build a basic shelving unit, or up to $1,300 for custom built-in shelves.</p></div>

Q: Should I use handles or knobs on upper cabinets?

• <div><p>You can use either handles or knobs on upper cabinets&mdash;go with what you like best. Pulls can sometimes make hard-to-reach upper cabinets easier to open, which is why it&rsquo;s common to see kitchens that have handles on upper cabinets and knobs on drawers and base cabinets. But it&rsquo;s also common to use knobs on doors and pulls on drawers. Let your aesthetics, budget, and practical considerations about how you use your cabinets dictate your decision. </p></div>

The work is excellent.For the bathroom, the new stabs are in the correct location relative to where the new cabinets will be located. The work is neat and professional looking and there is no leak from the joints. The kitchen sink works very well and it fits the profile of the kitchen.
