Preparing for Kitchen Cabinet Delivery and Installation

Planning a kitchen remodel can involve several steps. Besides looking for quality granite countertops, you must choose the best cabinets for your space. After making a selection, you need to order them. 

Proper preparation can help ensure the success of your kitchen cabinet installation. 

What to Do Before the Delivery

After selecting the kitchen cabinets you like, you must prepare for their delivery. The first thing to do is clear the area where your remodeler will install them. Place your appliances, dishes and other cooking essentials somewhere safe during the installation to protect them from damage. 

Be sure to allocate space where you can store the cabinets until the installation day. You will likely receive them on a pallet, meaning you need a large area to accommodate them. This spot must be out of reach of kids and pets. 

Take some time to clean your kitchen before the delivery. Dust surfaces, sweep and mop floors, and wipe your granite countertops and backsplashes. A neat space will help the installers do the job quickly and efficiently. 

What to Do on the Day of Delivery

When the cabinets arrive, carefully inspect them for damage. You can proceed with the installation if everything looks good. However, if there are issues with the products, contact the manufacturer to get a replacement. 

The duration of the installation depends on the type of cabinets you have. Usually, the process involves attaching the cabinets to the wall or floor. After securing the cabinets, your contractor will install all the hardware, including the handles, hinges and drawer slides. 

What to Do After the Installation

You can place items inside your new cabinets after the installation. Carefully organize your belongings to make them easy to find when you need them. If you have spare hardware, keep them in a place where it won’t get lost. 

When installed correctly and maintained regularly, your new cabinets should last long. Notify your installer immediately if you notice any issues.
