Q: What is the most durable wood for kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>The Janka Hardness Scale rates wood species according to their hardness levels or density. On the scale, hickory ranks as the most dense hardwood that is common for use in making cabinets. While there are woods that are harder, they're uncommon in cabinetry. Maple, oak, and walnut also rank relatively high on the scale and are excellent for use in cabinetry. </p></div>

Q: When remodeling a kitchen, do you do floors or cabinets first?

• <div><p>Contractors commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cabinets-or-flooring-first.htm">install floors before cabinets</a> during a kitchen remodel. It&rsquo;s the standard option when installing hardwood, vinyl, and tile flooring. Installing flooring first helps prevent height misalignment, ensures a seamless appearance, and saves extra flooring work and costs if you plan to replace or remove any cabinets later.</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: What is the typical duration for completing an installation?

• <div><p>Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on customization and venting setup.</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>

This was quite an ordeal and took way too long, pandemic or no. It took about 9 months. Contractor did not stay on top of paperwork and would have missed deadlines, costing me money, if I hadn't stepped in to do what I thought he was doing. Workers showed up or not, you never knew, despite who...

Overall, pleased with the initial experience. However, 6 months later the pavers and stairs developed cracks--two of which are deep. Calls to the contractor were not returned. I was forced to make repairs on my own to protect the integrity of the project.
