Choosing to install built in kitchen cupboards is a decision that will benefit you in many ways. Built in kitchen cupboards are aesthetically pleasing, space optimizing and it can even increase the market value of your home. The kitchen and the bathroom are the rooms of the home that influences its market value the most. If you renovate and update these two rooms you will be pleased to find that you have in effect, increased the market value of your home.
You would have the option if hiring a professional when choosing to install kitchen cupboards but many home owners choose to do the installation themselves. This is because it will help them to save money on the total cost of the project. However, it is important to note that you need a certain level of DIY skill and savvy if you hope to do the built in kitchen installation without the help of a professional.
A good tip would be to ensure that you have a helper there to assist you with the installation. This can be a friend or family member but should be someone that can assist with heavy lifting and support of the cabinetry. Removing existing kitchen cupboards and installing new ones is a job for two or more people because the cabinets cannot be supported and secured by one individual.
The general rule of thumb would be to always work from the top down. This means that you would start installing the wall mounted kitchen cupboards before you turn your attention to the base kitchen cupboards. This will ensure that you do not end up in a situation where the base kitchen cupboards are in the way when you are trying to install the wall mounted cabinets.
If you have decided to renovate your entire kitchen or if you are installing your kitchen cupboards in a brand new home then you should always try to install these cupboards before the floor finish is laid. This will ensure that your brand new floors are not damaged during the kitchen cupboard construction process.
