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: Which way should cabinet doors open?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no strict rule about which way cabinet doors should open, but generally, double cabinet doors should open away from each other. With single doors, you want to avoid having them block your path or swing into areas where people need to stand. Some kitchens are angled so that cabinet doors may crash into something no matter which way they swing, but the methods above can help prevent damage.</p></div>

Q: Should you pack dishes vertically or horizontally?

• <div><p>It is a good rule to always pack dishes vertically rather than flat. When you place your dishes upright, like records in a crate, the pressure from the weight of the other plates reduces, minimizing potential damage. Also, ensure you use cushioning between each plate and that the box is well-padded. </p></div>

Q: What is liquid sandpaper, and does it work on cabinets?

• <div><p>Liquid sandpaper is a solvent used to soften existing layers of paint and make them porous enough that you can effectively apply a new coat of paint. You rub the liquid sandpaper on, wait for it to work, and wipe it off&mdash;no literal sanding is involved. Liquid sandpaper can save time and is helpful if parts of the cabinet are hard to reach with standard sandpaper. However, like paint stripper, liquid sandpaper creates dangerous fumes and must be used with care indoors. And unlike sanding, it can&rsquo;t fix any scratches or dings in your cabinets.</p></div>

Q: How do I remove cabinet handles when I can’t unscrew them?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-stripped-screw.htm">remove stripped screws</a> with some elbow grease and an extractor kit for severe cases. Don&rsquo;t forget to purchase replacement screws or hardware. In rare cases, cabinet handles may be glued on, in which case you can use a box cutter or similar knife and a pair of pliers to carefully remove the handle without damaging the cabinet. You may want to replace those handles entirely rather than try gluing them on again.</p></div>

First - I wanted an idea of cost for an appraisal. Just give me a ballpark ($275 - $325). That way at least I can make the decision to take a vacation day to be home so the appraiser can come over and take pictures. I don't want to waste my time if the appraiser comes over and pulls out a number...
