Kitchen Cabinet Disposal in Tampa

2021-05-26 By Admin

Kitchen cabinet disposal isn’t exactly the most difficult thing to do. But, it does require being handy with a few common tools and familiar with electrical wiring and plumbing (if so equipped). For the most part, it’s straightforward. However, it will take some time to get it done and then, you’ll have to deal with the floor where it stood. So, let’s take a look at how to tackle kitchen cabinet disposal.

Remodeling Materials Throw Away Options

Where you’ve got to start is actually at the end of the process. While that sounds strange, it’s actually one of the most common remodeling mistakes. Think about it this way. You’re ready to renovate your kitchen, so you go in and clear it out. Then, you begin to remove the cabinets and teardown the backsplash. Before you know it, there’s a huge pile of remodeling debris. Now, what to do with it?

Refacing your kitchen cabinets includes covering the exposed frames with a thin veneer of real wood or plastic laminate. Doors and drawer fronts are replaced to match or complement the new veneer. New hinges, knobs, pulls, and molding complete the transformation. --House Logic

This is often the point many homeowners find themselves in because they did not think ahead. They are so focused on the finished product, it doesn’t even occur to them they need remodeling debris disposal until it’s unavoidable. And, that puts them in a real pickle. So, do yourself a favor and be proactive.

Kitchen Cabinet Disposal in Tampa

Before you jump head-first into the idea of kitchen cabinet refacing, you’ll need a drill-driver or screwdriver, pliers, plastic cups, eye protection, dust mask, paint drop cloths, sandpaper, primer, paint, roller or spray gun, and scrap wood. Plus, you’ll also need new hardware, such as hinges and pulls. Then, do the following:

  • Clear the area. Begin by clearing the whole area and putting up plastic and laying down drop cloths. You need to try to contain as much dirt and dust as possible to that room alone. Be sure to empty the cabinets and not leave anything inside.
  • Take the doors off the cabinets. Remove the doors by unfastening the hinges but do not remove the door pull or handle yet to make them easier to carry.
  • Take off the hardware. Now, remove any other hardware from the cabinets (if applicable), along with the shelves. Put the hardware and shelves aside, also so they aren’t a tripping hazard.
  • Pull the cabinet shells down. With the doors, hardware, and shelves out of the way, you can then remove the cabinet shells. You might have to unfasten retaining screws and/or pry them out of place.
