You have taken that first big step and decided on getting a new kitchen.\u00a0 Congratulations!\u00a0 And since we can assume you are a logical and discerning person, you have decided on the best type of kitchen cabinet in terms of quality, price and longevity, which is RTA kitchen cabinets.\u00a0 But even though you have saved a bunch of money out of your budget by going with RTA kitchen cabinets, you still want to save more, and one great way to do that is to install them yourself.\u00a0 Setting up your kitchen cabinets can seem like a daunting task, but with a few simple steps beforehand, you can be well on your way to installing your kitchen like a pro!<\/p>\n
We know you have measured out your kitchen before you bought your cabinets, but now is the time to install them, and you need to make sure you know what you are doing, and have a quick visual reference of where those cabinets are going to go.\u00a0 One thing the pros will tell you, it would be hard to find a kitchen anywhere<\/em> without pencil marks on the walls behind the cabinets.\u00a0 That\u2019s right, even the professional installers need these visual references.\u00a0 Take the layout that you made for your kitchen using RTACabinetStore.com\u2019s free online kitchen design tool<\/a>\u00a0 and go ahead and begin marking out where your cabinets go on the walls.\u00a0 We suggest taking all of your cabinets and numbering them, both on the wall and on the corresponding cabinet (where the marks won\u2019t be seen after installation, of course) to make it easy on yourself once you begin installing.\u00a0 Make sure you also have a carpenter\u2019s square, to easily mark off 90-degree angles that you can fit your cabinets to.<\/p>\n The tools you will need will be few, and include a drill motor with drills and bits, a screwdriver, a cabinet lift (you can rent them easily and cheaply), a tape measure, pencils, a utility knife, shims, a level, and a jigsaw if you are installing a sink.\u00a0 It\u2019s really that easy!\u00a0 If you have a wall or floor that isn\u2019t perfectly square or flat, there may be sections where you need to use shims to compensate for that wall.\u00a0 Take these few steps before you begin installing your cabinets, and your install will go much easier.\u00a0 Good luck!<\/p>\nGet Your Tools Together!<\/strong><\/h3>\n
