Q: How long does it take to install kitchen cabinets to the ceiling?

• <div><p>It depends on whether you buy pre-made <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/create-more-kitchen-cabinet-storage-space.htm">stacked cabinets</a> or construct them from scratch. If you build added cabinets from scratch, you can expect it to take several hours or days to build each one and then another two to three days for installation. Then, after painting your new cabinets, you should allow a few weeks for the paint to dry thoroughly before installing them over your existing cabinets.</p></div>

Q: Can you add cabinets on top of existing ones?

• <div><p>If your cabinets don&rsquo;t reach the ceiling, you can extend them higher, adding visual interest, privacy, and storage space to your kitchen. Depending on the height of your ceiling, you may want to extend the structure of the cabinets and install longer doors to make each individual cabinet taller, or you could add additional cabinets above the existing ones. Either option is cheaper and easier than installing entirely new cabinets.</p></div>

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: Do installations include finishing?

• <div><p>Yes, most services include finishing options like staining, polishing, or epoxy coatings. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

They scheduled 4 different appointments to look at the job and give me a price. All 4 appointments were cancelled and rescheduled. I finally told them to quit calling me, if they couldn't keep my appointment, what makes me think they could do my job when required.
