Hard, But Meaningful Work

Over the years, as we have observed contractors working on our home, one thing has become clear: this is not easy work. Whether the contractor is replacing pipes, framing a new room, or installing flooring, they are always working really hard to get the job done. We admire this. Many other professionals could benefit from observing this work ethic. As soon as we realized how hard contractors work, we had to share that fact on the internet. In fact, there are lots of other facts about contractors that we feel are worthy of sharing, which is why we continue to post on this blog.

Reasons To Choose Ready-To-Install Cabinets When You Remodel Your Kitchen

If you're remodeling your kitchen and ordering new cabinets, you can choose between ready-to-assemble cabinets and ready-to-install cabinets. Cabinets that are already assembled are much easier to install, and they are usually higher quality than cabinets you put together yourself. Here are reasons to buy ready-to-install cabinets even though they may cost more.

The Cabinets Are Quicker And Easier To Install

Whether you install the cabinets yourself or have an installer put them in, all that has to be done is hang the cabinets since they are already put together. If your cabinets are shipped rather than picked up at a local store, they are shipped whole. Cabinets you have to assemble are shipped flat and you have to spend time assembling all the parts before you can hang them.

The Cabinets Have Superior Construction

Ready-to-install cabinets are custom-made and assembled at the factory using machines when possible. This ensures the cabinets are put together well and are sturdy. If you have to assemble the cabinets at home before installing them, you use hand tools, and the results aren't likely to be the same.

A benefit of cabinets you assemble yourself is that they cost less than cabinets assembled at the factory. However, factory-assembled cabinets are high quality, and they eliminate the possibility of errors in assembly.

The Cabinets Can Have More Features

When cabinets are assembled and ready to install, they often have nice added features. These features may not be included in cabinets you have to assemble yourself due to the difficulty of assembling cabinets with drawers, turntables, and other storage features. Cabinets you have to assemble are often stock cabinets while cabinets the factory assembles can be custom-made so you get exactly the features you want.

Ready-To-Install Cabinets Are DIY Friendly

You'll still need skills to install pre-assembled cabinets, but you won't need nearly the expertise you would need to assemble cabinets from individual parts. By installing cabinets yourself, you can save money on installation costs and put the savings toward buying higher-quality cabinets. Plus, when cabinets are installed at the factory, they come with a warranty, so you might get help paying for repairs if errors are made with materials or assembly.

You can expect pre-assembled cabinets to have a long life and add beauty to your kitchen. Plus, you'll never have to deal with issues like doors that won't stay shut due to errors in assembly. Unless you just love home improvement projects and want to put the cabinets together yourself, consider buying ready-to-install cabinets.
