Cabinet Installation
Cabinet Installation
Cabinet installation is not a do-it-yourself project; instead, you should get in touch with our crew of skilled, experienced, and professional
installers because it involves extensive woodworking abilities. Yes? In most houses, you won't find perfectly square walls, symmetrical corners, or flat flooring. Though our talent and experience may make installing cabinets look simple, professional cabinet installation is anything but. Cabinet installation is a tedious and time-consuming job fraught with the risk of expensive mistakes. There is no installation guide for semi-custom cabinets, and no matter how much you plan ahead, you will inevitably run into an issue that can be resolved most efficiently by someone with actual on-the-job knowledge, like our installation team at Kitchen Cabinet Concepts.
Equipment and Methods for Installing Cabinets Efficiently
When we begin working on the installation of your cabinets, we always begin by locating the highest point on the floor using a laser level. This is the first step in the process. We'll use this as a jumping-off point for any room in your house that needs an installation. Then, we measure the vertical and horizontal bow of your walls to see if they are straight or not. We shim or modify as needed to provide a proper and visually acceptable installation, and we always make sure everything is level to your laser line.
Which Comes First, the Upper or Lower Cabinets?
Each individual cabinet installer and remodeler will have their own preferences when it comes to one of the most commonly asked questions on cabinet installation projects, which is, what cabinets are being installed first. In the end, the optimal setup is the one with which you feel the most at ease. However, every strategy has its advantages and disadvantages. Lower cabinets installed initially provide a solid foundation upon which to build the higher cabinets, which can greatly facilitate a smooth and efficient build. By building a "sub-top" out of plywood that meets industry standards, removing all tools and equipment used in installing cabinets, and taking extra precautions to avoid dropping anything, our crew can ensure that the lower cabinets they have previously built remain undamaged.
Requirements for Kitchen Cabinet Installation Safety
Putting in kitchen cabinets might seem like a no-brainer and a safe weekend project, but it's not always as easy as it seems. If your kitchen cabinets aren't well balanced and built, the heavy dishes you store within could cause damage. Cabinets that topple over pose a serious risk to you and your family, and can ruin your hard work. Kitchen cabinets need to be countersunk and anchored securely to the wall, both of which are tasks best left to our trained carpenters.
