Removing Kitchen Cabinets Yourself Can Save Money

If you are purchasing new kitchen cabinets, one way to save money is to remove the old cabinets yourself.   This will also give you the opportunity to save any you might want to use in another location or to donate them to a charitable organization.

The most important thing to remember when removing cabinets is to turn off all water supply and electricity to the area.  You should remove all appliances, counter tops, and sink prior to working on the cabinets.  Once you are ready to start on the cabinets themselves, remove all hardware, pulls, and doors.  This will make the removal of the cabinetry much easier.

Bottom cabinets should be taken out first followed by the top cabinets.  Take care and precaution when using claw hammers, reciprocating saws, etc., not only for your safety but to prevent damage to the drywall behind the cabinets.

Purchasing new kitchen cabinets is a big budget item in most households.  Removing your existing cabinets is a great way to save money and put it toward your new purchase.
