How do I prepare to have new cabinets installed?

• <div><p>As a homeowner, there are a few things you can do to prepare for your cabinet installer. Once the cabinets are ready for your home, you can do the following:</p><ul><li><p>Ensure pets are safely in another room, out of the way of open doors and large moving objects.</p></li><li><p>Clear countertops for removal.</p></li><li><p>Tidy the floor the installers will walk through and around. </p></li><li><p>Prepare to have the installers in your home for the entire day, for multiple days, until the project is done. Expect to have a noisy environment, especially if they will remove old, existing cabinets. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can I use a soft-close hinge adapter on existing cabinet doors instead?

• <div><p>You can use a soft-close hinge adapter on existing cabinet doors instead of buying new soft-close hinges. If you want soft-close cabinet doors on a budget, invest in the small adapters that allow you to convert an existing hinge to a soft-close style. They&rsquo;re much less expensive than new soft-close hinges and are simpler to install. However, they don&rsquo;t always last as long. </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: Do you install flooring before cabinets?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-flooring-best-my-home.htm">type of flooring</a> you plan to install will determine if it goes in before or after the cabinets. It's okay to swap the order in many cases. However, hardwood floors, sheet materials, and tile often go down before the cabinets go in. Floating floors like laminate or luxury vinyl planking should go down after the cabinets are in place.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if my walls are right for frameless cabinets?

• <div><p>Walls in good condition with an even surface should be fine for frameless cabinet installation. Older, uneven, or warped walls could create problems. Your studs and their spacing are especially important, since frameless cabinets rely so much on wall attachments. Call in a professional installer for a consultation if you aren&rsquo;t sure.</p></div>

They carry good products. I've used their contractors a number of times, and they have all done a great job. The only bad thing I would say is the man who sold us the floor gave us some inaccurate information and didn't really seem to know as much as we needed him to know about the floor itself....
