Q: What can I do to level my cabinet bases if the floor isn’t level?

• <div><p>Using a shim or another type of self-leveling feet on the bottom edge of your cabinet bases will help to level them out if you&rsquo;re installing them on a less-than-level surface. To make this process easier, you can add your shims before attaching the bases to your cabinets while they&rsquo;re still light and easy to move around.</p></div>

Q: What is the usual timeframe for installing pre-made kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 2-3 days, depending on the kitchen size and preparation needed.</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: Why are frameless cabinets harder to install?

• <div><p>If your walls aren&rsquo;t plumb, it can make installing frameless cabinets difficult because they require precise measurements so they don&rsquo;t show imperfections. Any dissymmetry with installation can cause the doors and drawers to not function correctly. Frameless cabinets are also thicker and heavier, making them harder to install by yourself.</p></div>

As a busy commercial contractor, we have worked with many electrical contractors. Wallace Electric does their work in an organized and thoughtful way. Their attention to detail is second to none. Best part is they clean up after the project is complete. Highly recommend.
