Is your kitchen in dire straits? Do you long for a custom kitchen delivery? It may be time to get rid of your existing cabinets, and spring for a custom cabinet installation. Adding new cabinets to your kitchen is a great way to spruce up this most important room in your home.

The first step in your custom cabinet installation project will be to find the right contractor. Find one who is both licensed and registered with your local Better Business Bureau. Also, be sure to ask for references and pictures of their previous cabinet work.

Once you’ve hired a contractor, make sure he or she gets the exact measurements of your existing cabinets. Look at pictures of kitchens you find attractive. Figure out which materials will work best for your space and budget. Then, work out a color scheme.
