Choose your sink before installing new cabinets.

Deep, under-counter mounted and farmhouse sinks are trending these days. They are beautiful and can give your kitchen an updated look. Make sure you choose your new sink before you install your new cabinets though. Knowing what sink you want can prevent plumbers from having to cut the back of your newly installed cabinets to get to piping in the wall. Make sure that your new sink is going to work with your existing plumbing. If it isn’t, make sure you correct the issue before installing cabinets.

Be aware of possible constraints and work with what you have.

If you want to stay within a limited budget, it is generally good to use the plumbing that is already there. Take note where the gas and water supplies enter your kitchen to determine where you put your new appliances. This usually means you won’t be able to move your oven, sink or dishwasher by more than a few inches. If you do want to relocate appliances, remember that moving plumbing will add extra expenses.
