Replacing kitchen cabinets - DIY or hire pros in Hamilton?

Rachel Campbell · · 3 replies

Thinking of replacing our dated kitchen cabinets in Hamilton. We’re handy but nervous about cabinet installation. Should we try a DIY install to save money or hire a pro? Cabinets about 12k CAD from IKEA. What’s realistic for time and skill required?

If you’re pretty handy, IKEA cabinets are designed for DIY but expect a couple weekends of solid work.

Hiring pros might cost 2-4k extra but saves a lot of stress and ensures perfect fit and finish.

Watch plenty of YouTube tutorials before starting and make sure your walls and floors are level!
