Frequently Asked Questions

Our cabinets are all Ready to Assemble (RTA) but do not come pre assembled. We are happy to assemble your cabinets, even if you plan on doing the installation yourself. 

The short answer is no. You are welcome to install the cabinets yourself if you are on a tight budget, but homeowners often find this to be extremely time consuming and difficult.

If this is something you’re considering, give us a call and we can help you determine if this is the best option for you.

Framed cabinets, the more traditional style, offer space between the edge of the door and the edge of the cabinet. Frameless cabinets offer full door coverage, with no gap between door and cabinet. This creates a smooth front for your cabinets and minimizes wasted space. 

Frameless cabinets are a great option for homeowners who have limited space and would like to maximize their storage space. They also have a modern, sleek finish that can add to the aesthetic appeal of your home. 

While you are able to assemble the cabinets yourself, we wouldn’t recommend it unless you have past experience. They do not come with instructions and are meant for a cabinet professional to put together. It can be a very frustrating and time consuming experience for many homeowners, and cause a remodel to take much longer than needed. 

Without the proper tools and equipment, installing your own cabinets can be extremely frustrating and time consuming. While it will save you some cash, unless you have experience with this sort of thing, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. Poorly installed cabinets may result in unleveled base cabinets that can cause your countertops to crack months or years later.

It is considered best practice to install cabinets before installing flooring to ensure that cabinets will be flat against the ground. It will also save money, as flooring installed under cabinets will never see the light of day and essentially be a wasted extra expense. With floating floors, it is always recommended to install them up to cabinets instead of underneath them, since the cabinets will pinch them down and prevent them from freely expanding and contracting, which may result in gapping. 

In kitchens with high ceilings, staggered cabinets can help maximize the usable storage space. When considering staggered cabinets, it is important to keep symmetry in mind. For example, having taller cabinets above the fridge, stove, and sink will look great if they are spaced properly, but could look crowded if they are located near each other.

Another thing to consider is if you want crown molding. If so, crown molding can only be installed on the staggered cabinets closest to the ceiling, otherwise this will look odd and prevent cabinet doors from opening properly. 

A popular option today, two toned kitchens offer a pop of color in your living space. While it is entirely up to the homeowners judgment of what looks good together, common color combinations are white with gray, and white with blue.
