Q: Should I put hinges on the cabinet door or the frame first?

• <div><p>Unless otherwise specified in the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions, in most cases you should attach the hinges to the cabinet door before attaching it to the cabinet frame. Once you attach the hinge to the door, you can then align it with the cabinet frame and screw it firmly into place. Be sure to consult the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions for best practices.</p></div>

Q: What is the space between cabinets and ceiling called?

• <div><p>There is no official name for an open gap between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling. However, when that area is covered with a boxy shape to hide wires or pipes, this is known as a soffit. In some cases, this area may also be hidden with a bulkhead, a lower ceiling area that fits just above the cabinets. </p></div>

Q: Can you remove cabinets without removing countertops?

• <div><p>Yes, there is a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-lower-kitchen-cabinets.htm">way to remove base cabinets without damaging countertops</a>. Before removing the cabinets, carefully unscrew the countertops from their underside and use a pry bar to break the bond of the adhesives. Have a helper ready to support the loosened countertops and assist you in safely setting them aside while you proceed with cabinet removal.</p></div>

Q: Does painting cabinets devalue your home?

• <div><p>Painting the kitchen cabinets, whether done by a professional or as a DIY, can add value to your home. A fresh coat of paint is especially effective when adding new hardware to upgrade your cabinets&rsquo; look without the expense of replacing them entirely. </p></div>

Q: Do you place heavier loads on lower or middle shelves?

• <div><p>Any of your garage shelves should be able to hold heavier loads, but it&rsquo;s best to place heavier items on middle shelves. The only reason for this is to prevent injury&mdash;lifting heavy loads from down low requires squatting or bending over, which can lead to back injury, and lifting heavy loads off of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-overhead-garage-storage.htm">high shelves in the garage</a> can be especially dangerous if you drop them.</p></div>

Have spent $16,500 on custom cabinetry where the cabinet maker has failed to correct two errors in the design, construction and installation of cabinets to meet requirements established in his own drawings. Very rude and unprofessional. I would not recommend using this firm.
