Installing kitchen cabinets is one of my favorite projects. Whether I'm working on a new home or on a remodeling project, cabinet installation signals that the end is in sight. And installing the right cabinets transforms an empty space into a functional, good-looking kitchen. Even factory-made stock cabinets, though, can be fussy to install. Walls are rarely straight or floors flat. A two-person crew with basic tools requires at least a day to install an average-size kitchen. But thanks to a few specialty tools and some techniques I've developed through many years spent working alone, I can do the same work by myself. Good planning and joining cabinets together prior to installation are two important strategies. Tools like a laser level, face-frame clamps, and a cabinet lift save time while also improving the accuracy of my work. Throughout the process, I do everything possible not to damage the new cabinets.
