3 Common Cabinet Installation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Cabinet installation is a challenging task that is best left to professionals. This is because, like every other home remodeling project, cabinet installation has its intricacies.  Every stage of the process requires precision and attention to detail, from the initial measurements to the final touches, to yield the best results.

Especially if it’s your first time installing cabinets in your kitchen, there are a bunch of mistakes you can make along the way that can compromise the progress and results of your installation project.

Below, we have highlighted a few common mistakes that you can come across during the cabinet installation process and how to avoid these mistakes to achieve your desired results.

 

Inaccurate Measurements

This is the single biggest mistake you can make that can backtrack your entire project. It can lead to delays, mishaps, and waste of material, among various other issues.

To avoid this issue, you need to be extremely careful while taking notes of measurements – ceiling heights and wall-to-wall – and recheck the measurements just in case by repeating the whole process once again to correct any mistakes you made the first time.

Forgetting About the Wiring and Plumbing

While designing the layout of your kitchen cabinets, make sure you take the plumbing and wiring into account. Not thinking about these elements can impact the functionality of your kitchen and get in the way of lighting and other appliances that are integral to your kitchen daily.

For this reason, it’s best to hire a professional to install cabinets.

Hanging Cabinets on Drywall

Kitchen cabinets should always be installed on wall studs instead of being hung on the drywall. Wall studs can easily bear the weight of the cabinets and all the materials and items you store inside them.

Cabinets that are hung on drywalls are prone to crash down, causing you some major inconvenience.

So, it’s best to use screws and wall studs to hang your cabinets.
