I have made my choices, now what?
Now all you need to do is get ready for the installation. Depending on the discussion you have had with our designs specialists, there may be items that you will need to do in the week before our team of professionals arrives to complete your project. If you have made the decision to remove your cabinets yourself, make sure you turn off your water supply. This will allow for all pipes to be removed and capped, under your sink, including the P trap and the water supply lines. 'Capping' the lines will allow for small cuts into your sink cabinet. If it is not possible to turn the water off, you can shut it off at the supply lines which are found in the current sink cabinet. Our team will need to cut larger holes in the new sink cabinet for the existing plumbing.
Your old cabinets will leave an area that we call a “footprint” that will create an open area from lines created by the paint, wallpaper, and your tile. Since your new cabinetry may be of a different design, it is somtimes difficult to line-up the new cabinetry perfectly where the old cabinets were placed. There might also be differences in the "footprint" because your new project design may include adding more cabinets or removing some. Repainting or adjusting your tile work may be needed. Our design specialists will help you through this process so you will know exactly where touch-ups may be needed.
When cabinet products are part of your project, Statewide Cabinets will usually deliver the cabinets a day before your installation. This will allow for our professional team to get started on your project first thing in the morning. Since our installation team may need an area to set up their tools and perform some of their precision cutting, our team may require some additional work space. An open garage is ideal, but if one is not avaliable, a driveway is fine. During the installation process, dust will probably be created from the work that our team will need to do, but our teams will clean up any messes that they might make. This includes any protective boxes that cabinetry might be delivered in. Our team will make sure to neatly break down all of the boxes so you will be able to dispose of them with your usual waste disposal.
Once the work is done, it will be time for you to enjoy the completed project.
