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 drywall anchors to hang a medicine cabinet?

• <div><p>No. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-use-drywall-anchors.htm">Drywall anchors</a> aren&rsquo;t a good choice for hanging a cabinet because the opening and closing of the cabinet door can cause things to shift, the weight of a mirror is more than most drywall anchors can accommodate, and adding the weight of items stored in the cabinet will make this an even more precarious option. Using the correct mounting bracket for the cabinet you choose is the best way to hang a medicine cabinet.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to put hardware on cabinets?

• <div><p>Installing hardware on cabinets could take anywhere from an hour or two to a full day. It all depends on the number of cabinets and whether you install the hardware yourself or hire a professional. If you are DIYing the hardware installation, allow 2 to 5 hours to replace hardware in an average-sized kitchen.</p></div>

Q: Can you buy prefabricated built-in bookshelves?

• <div><p>Most built-in bookshelves are custom-made to fit the available space and meet a homeowner's needs. This level of customization allows you to design the exact look and functionality you desire. However, you can buy cheaper, prefabricated bookshelves to slot into your desired space. However, prefabricated designs might not slot in as snuggly or need to be adjusted to fit.</p></div>

Q: Can anything get in the way of kitchen toppers like extra cabinets?

• <div><p>Before making any big plans, climb up a step ladder and closely examine the top of your cabinets. You&rsquo;ll get to see what sort of clean-up work needs to be done, but you can also check for any unexpected obstacles. Sometimes this space holds electrical boxes, wiring, or even plumbing components. Those will affect plans to install a new layer of cabinets or shelves.</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...
