Welcome to the DIY, how to install kitchen cabinets guide, and cabinet installation tool resource. This guide is for the professional or home owner alike who is interested in learning to set, hang, or install a cabinet DIY. This is a real guide covering the nuts and bolts of the cabinet installation in detail.

Included through out the guide are specialty tool and material recommendations. I search out the lowest prices online for high quality tools and provide links to that specific tool for sale at different web sites. The right tools make the job fun and easy for a DIY cabinet installation, or whole kitchen remodel. Visit the Tool Resource Page for a tool recap, and brand reviews.

My name is Skip Stephenson and am a professional cabinet installer. I have been remodeling kitchens and installing cabinets for 26 years. My goal here is to simply provide a detailed and truly helpful guide to installing cabinets. All tool recommendations are quality tools that I would buy myself. A good quality tool can last a life time, but low quality tools can only last one job, and not do a good job on that one job.

This guide will not cover pre cabinet remodeling, as in rough wiring, rough plumbing, and drywall. There is a good general kitchen remodeling guide at  http://www.kitchenguidebook.com/.   

This cabinet installation guide will go into detail on the kitchen Cabinet installation design plan, actually installing cabinets, special considerations on installing kitchen islands and peninsulas, getting appliance openings right, installing crown molding and other trims,  how to install  cabinet knobs, and the right supplies, and specialty tools to get the job done!

Hanging or installing your own kitchen cabinets DIY can be a great way to save money and is not that hard, but a good attention to detail, planning, and having the right tools are a must.

If you have ever searched "how install cabinets" then this web site is for you. I hope this guide inspires you to be a DIY cabinet installation person.
