We recommend working with a certified professional to install your new cabinets, as they’ll be able to do so without damaging any water or gas lines inside your cabinet. However, whether you work with a pro or install them yourself, these are the general steps to follow:

• Tearing out the old cabinets: Before installing new kitchen cabinets, you’ll need to remove your old set of cabinets. Professionals will typically be able to dispose of these for a fee.

• Positioning the cabinets: Installers often start with the corner cabinet and screw it directly into the wall, using long cabinet screws to anchor the cabinets to the wall studs (or lathe in older homes). From there, they’ll install the remaining cabinets on either side of the corner unit.

• Placing wall cabinets: To connect upper cabinets to each other and to the wall, your installer will use hand-screw clamps to drill the cabinets to each other for a seamless fit.

While there are commercial cleaners for cabinets, you can also clean grease off of kitchen cabinets by using a 50/50 solution of warm water and vinegar. Simply wipe this solution onto your cabinets and with a soft rag or cloth and dry with a soft, dry cloth after a few minutes to eliminate any remaining moisture.

While it is possible for the savvy DIY craftsman to stain or paint kitchen cabinets themselves, we would advise purchasing kitchen cabinets in the color of your choice instead. 

With as many materials and colors as there are available, you’ll be more likely to find cabinets with a high-quality finish and a low risk of chipping, scratching, or other paint damage if you purchase them in the color you want from the start.
