It depends on whether you buy pre-made stacked cabinets or construct them from scratch.

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.

Building DIY garage shelves typically costs less than $500, and the quality of a DIY garage shelving unit will almost always be higher than what you could buy premade for the equivalent price.

There are some tips when hiring a cabinet installer that’ll help prepare you to create a new space. When installing new cabinets, keep the following in mind:

• Hire the same cabinet installer professional to measure, design, and install the cabinets, as opposed to jumping between companies. 

• Discuss what types of cabinets the installer offers, including stock, semi-custom, and custom, to give yourself options.

• Discuss financing options with your installer, as this project can be expensive depending on your chosen cabinets.

• Discuss your cabinet installer’s prior experience, including asking for photos of previous projects.
