There is a specific order to complete tasks when remodeling your kitchen, especially with Oak Kitchen Cabinets.
Steps in Remodeling with Oak Kitchen Cabinets
Here’s a straightforward step-by-step guide on how to remodel with Oak kitchen cabinets.
1. Remove all existing oak kitchen cabinets
For full kitchen remodels, the initial step is to completely gut the kitchen and remove all existing oak kitchen cabinets, countertops, appliances, and other items you are replacing.
2. Work on your kitchen flooring
If you install new flooring and paint your walls, paint first so that if you accidentally splatter paint, it will not ruin your new flooring. Once the paint has fully dried, install the new flooring before installing your new RTA kitchen cabinets.
Clean the new flooring before placing the base oak kitchen cabinets in designated areas. Once the cabinets are secured, you will not have another opportunity to do this until the next time you remodel your kitchen.
3. Assemble your RTA kitchen cabinets
As you assemble your RTA kitchen cabinets and set them in place, do not mount them to the walls until after the entire base section is completed.
If you mount the cabinets right away, you have to remove the mounting screws and adjust the placement of the cabinets.
Waiting allows you to verify that the base cabinets are in the right locations and levels, secured if needed, and properly lined up next to one another.
4. Install the countertops
You can install your countertops after your base RTA cabinets are installed and secured to the walls.
5. Install the Wall Cabinets
Next, assemble and install the wall cabinets. Wall cabinets are designed to be mounted directly to the wall, one section at a time.
Just make sure each one is level before tightening the mounting screws.
6. Place your kitchen sink and appliances
Lastly, finalize the kitchen remodel by installing the kitchen sink and your appliances.
