Preparing your home for kitchen cabinet installation will save you time and minimize potential damage to other parts of your kitchen. According to kitchen remodeling expert The Kitchen Store, here are the best ways to prepare your home before your new cabinets arrive.
Designate a Delivery Drop Zone
Kitchen cabinet components are often delivered in multiple boxes. It would take effort to fit them in your garage, especially if you have a car parked inside. Your living room or kitchen area is not ideal for receiving your kitchen cabinet delivery too. That said, appoint a wide room where you can store your new cabinets safely. Ideally, the space should be twice the size of your kitchen, so you can organize the boxes and inspect their contents.
Put Them on the Same Floor
Put your supplies on the same floor as your kitchen. You want them out of the way without making it difficult to retrieve them later. Once you’ve found a room on the same floor, clear a path from the storage area to your kitchen to let your contractor easily access the materials on kitchen cabinet installation day.
Store Them Wisely
Delivery boxes are sturdy, but they can still get damaged if mishandled. Cover them with blankets or tarps to protect them against dust and debris. Stack them properly to save space in your storage area. Large, heavy boxes should be on the floor while light, small ones should be placed on top of the bigger ones.
Clean Off Waste Materials
Plenty of boxes mean you’ll end up with several empty ones afterward. Ask your kitchen remodeling services provider if they can dispose of the boxes during cleanup. Otherwise, rent a dumpster or call a local bulk recycling center to dispose of the boxes properly.
