Before starting a do-it-yourself (DIY) kitchen remodeling project, remember that seeing this done on one of the home improvement shows on TV completely differs from undertaking such a task on your own.
The people in these shows are professionals with years of experience tearing out old cabinets, countertops, and appliances, installing new ones, and moving electrical outlets and water lines.
Even though it might look easy on TV, it does not mean you will have the same results.
Review Assembly Instructions For Your Do-It-Yourself Kitchen Project
To better understand what is required for a do-it-yourself kitchen remodeling project, watch our online instructional assembly videos for assembling your RTA cabinets. These videos cover a wide range of styles, so you can determine whether this is something you want to attempt on your own.
You should also read through the printed assembly instructions to verify that you have all the required tools and equipment for the assembly processes.
Far too often, people order the cabinets but fail to read the online instructions, which leads to frustration because they do not have the right type of saw or other tool needed to put their new cabinets together.
If you decide this is a project you can do, remember there is a learning curve involved with assembling the cabinets. Reading through the instructions, reviewing them again, and setting up the work area to ensure you have everything you need nearby is a good idea.
Once you have completed this prep work, you should take your time and complete each step in the instructions before moving on to the next one. Working slowly and steadily prevents accidentally damaging your new cabinets and makes you more skilled in assembly.
