Before
You Buy Kitchen Cabinets
Before
you buy your new kitchen or bathroom cabinets,
there are some important things you should know
and important questions you need to answer. This
guide can help you zero in on the basics of buying
cabinets, including budget, size, style, quality,
construction, and finish. These should all be
considered before you make a final decision to
buy.
Set Your Budget
Cabinets account for 40% to 50% of the total cost
of your kitchen or bathroom remodeling project,
so setting your total budget figure will be one
of the first things you’ll need to do. But
don’t let this decision scare you off. The
cabinets you select will set the tone of your
new kitchen or bathroom and play a major role
in transforming your space.
Measure Your Space
You’ll eventually want a professional to
come to your home and look at your space, but
you should measure your area and think about where
you might want the new cabinets to fit. With these
preliminary measurements in hand, you’ll
be able to give more accurate information, and
we’ll be able to give you more precise estimates
and ideas for your project.
