Why Choose Professionals for Cabinet Installation

It's best to choose a professional for cabinet installation and repair. While DIY options may appear attractive due to their low cost, service professionals, such as those from Mr. Handyman, have the thorough knowledge of carpentry skills and experience to tackle the job properly. Professionals also know how to work carefully around other utilities, such as the kitchen's plumbing, electrical, and gas lines.

Cabinet installation services can also be dangerous if not performed correctly. Cabinets must be sturdy enough to hold dishes, pots, pans, glasses, and more. Improper installation can lead to a cabinet falling, potentially causing injury to yourself or damage to your kitchen.

Contact the experienced and licensed professionals at Mr. Handyman to avoid hidden costs and time-consuming challenges. We have the cabinet installation tools and experience to deliver top-tier results backed by a one-year service promise— if it’s not done right, we promise to make it right.

Custom Cabinets FAQs

Mr. Handyman has been helping homeowners repair, maintain, and enhance their spaces for over 25 years! We are the one-stop solution for everything on your to-do list. This includes answering your questions about home repairs, maintenance, and improvements. Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions about Custom Bathroom Cabinets.

What are bathroom cabinets called?

Bathroom cabinets go by a few names depending on their purpose. Some people call them vanity cabinets, medicine cabinets, or simply storage cabinets. They’re designed to help you keep your bathroom neat and organized. If you’re going for a unique look or have specific storage needs, custom bathroom cabinets might be the way to go. Custom made cabinets give you the flexibility to create something that fits your style and space perfectly.

What type of cabinets are good for bathrooms?

In a bathroom, you want cabinets that can handle moisture and humidity without warping or showing wear. Materials like solid wood, plywood, or MDF with a water-resistant finish are great options. Custom cabinets are especially practical since you can choose materials and designs that suit your style while standing up to daily use. For example, custom bathroom cabinets with built-in organizers or soft-close drawers can make your space feel both functional and high-end.

What is the difference between a bathroom cabinet and a bathroom vanity?

A bathroom cabinet is a general term for any storage unit in your bathroom—like medicine cabinets or wall-mounted shelves. A bathroom vanity, however, is specifically the cabinet that holds your sink and often includes counter space and drawers underneath. If you’re designing your space, you might want to consider custom bathroom cabinets that combine storage with a sleek vanity. Custom options let you create a cohesive look that works for your needs and makes the most of your space.

What do you put in cabinets over a toilet?

The cabinet above your toilet is the perfect spot for items you use regularly but don’t want cluttering your counters, like extra rolls of toilet paper, hand towels, or cleaning supplies. You can also store toiletries like lotion or soap. If you choose custom made cabinets, you can add features like adjustable shelves or built-in compartments to make everything fit neatly. Baskets or bins are also a nice touch to keep smaller items organized and out of sight.

What do people put in bathroom cabinets?

Bathroom cabinets tend to hold a little bit of everything. People often keep essentials like makeup, skincare, and hair products, as well as toilet paper and cleaning products in their bathrooms. Larger cabinets are great for towels, extra toiletries, or even first-aid kits. Custom cabinets can take things up a notch by including smart storage solutions like pull-out trays, dividers, or hidden compartments for a clutter-free look. Custom bathroom cabinets let you create a space that keeps everything within reach but still looks tidy and stylish.

Custom Kitchen Cabinet Services FAQs

Mr. Handyman has been helping homeowners repair, maintain, and enhance their spaces for over 25 years! We are the one-stop solution for everything on your to-do list. This includes answering your questions about home repairs, maintenance, and improvements. Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions about custom kitchen cabinet services.

Is it worth it to get custom kitchen cabinets?

Every homeowner’s situation is different. Before deciding whether or not to invest in custom-made kitchen cabinets, consider the look, functionality, and age of your current cabinets, as well as your budget and personal desire for a change. Custom cabinets can be the right choice if you want cabinets that perfectly fit your kitchen and express your preferred style. They’re a good option for kitchens with unusual dimensions, offering design flexibility and the ability to create cabinets from superior materials.

What are the disadvantages of custom cabinets?

The biggest disadvantage of custom-made kitchen cabinets is their cost compared to installing stock cabinets or semi-custom kitchen cabinets. Keep in mind, though, that custom cabinets can boost the value of your home, as many buyers put special emphasis on a house’s kitchen.

Choosing custom cabinets may also extend the timeline of your kitchen project and give you more decisions to make. These challenges may be compounded if you’re planning a full kitchen overhaul. Finally, custom cabinets may require special maintenance, and you may struggle to find matching replacement parts in the future. All that goes to say is to make sure you’re certain of your style choices before you invest in custom kitchen cabinets.

What is the downside of painting cabinets?

Painting your kitchen cabinets is a good way to refresh their look in a cost-effective way, but there are a few downsides to consider. Cabinets can be tricky to paint. You’ll need to thoroughly clean, sand, and prime them before you even grab a paintbrush. It can be difficult to paint cabinets evenly, especially if they have patterns or recesses. If you’re not experienced in painting, your cabinets could show brush strokes or roller marks.

Keep in mind that a kitchen can create moisture and heat, which can shorten the lifespan of paint, causing it to chip, peel, and otherwise show wear. You’ll also need to touch up the paint on a regular basis, especially if you use your cabinets a lot.

Can you put new countertops on old cabinets?

Yes, in many cases, you can put new countertops on existing cabinets. Your current cabinets must be structurally sound, level, and able to support the material of your new countertop. They need to be firmly attached to the wall and have a flat, solid surface. Depending on your particular cabinets, you may need to level their surface, reinforce your cabinet frames, and even update your existing kitchen plumbing. Not every cabinet set can handle a new countertop.

It’s a good idea to work with a professional contractor or handyman to assess whether you can switch out your countertop without also replacing your kitchen cabinets.

In what order do you remodel a kitchen?

A lot depends on the scope of your remodel, but generally, the first step of a kitchen remodel is the planning and design phase. In this phase, your contractor will create a detailed remodeling plan, obtain the necessary permits, order materials, and schedule professionals. Next, your team will prep your kitchen by clearing the workspace and removing old cabinets, appliances, and fixtures. If you’re doing a full kitchen remodel, your team may update your electrical wiring, modify plumbing lines, add or move gas lines, and complete any major structural changes. This is called the “rough-in stage.”

Next up is the installation phase. Here, your team will install new flooring, mount cabinets, place your countertops, install your lighting fixtures, install appliances, add a backsplash, and complete trim work and hardware. In the final phase, your team will paint your kitchen walls, install cabinet hardware, and schedule inspections.
