Assembling cabinets can sometimes be easy. However, when you try to take on something a little more intermediate, such as an entire wall unit, the project can become overwhelming if you are not prepared.
Being a cabinet installer in Lakeside, CA, I know what it takes to get various cabinet projects done. More often than not, having at least one other person to help with assembly can make things go much more smoothly. Especially, when assembling and installing larger cabinet units.
Knowing your limits, having a helper, and being prepared are the 3 most important things when it comes to installing cabinets. Below are supplies and tools you will need to complete the task on hand.
1. Drill (use a hand-held electric screwdriver to eliminate stripping)
2. Hammer
3. Flathead and Philips screwdriver
4. Level and a Stud finder
5. A person to help you if needed
