Installing the Cabinets

❖ Wall Cabinets First

It’s always wise to start with the upper wall cabinets, providing you ample space without the interference of base cabinets.

❖ Secure Them

Properly position them, secure the cabinets with screws, and make sure they’re level. When it comes to ensuring stability, insights from our framing in NYC article can be beneficial.

Setting Up The Base Cabinets

Position these cabinets according to your initial plan. Should there be any height adjustments, use shims, and once aligned, secure them to the wall. Our detailed guide on construction services highlights common pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Installing The Countertops

☞ Prepare the Surface: Clean and level the top of the base cabinets.

☞ Positioning: Place the countertop accurately, ensuring a snug fit against the wall. If there are gaps, seal them with caulk.

☞ Securing: Finally, fasten the countertop with screws from beneath. During this process, you might find our guide on kitchen installations a handy reference.
