Garage Cabinets

How to build garage cabinets?

Building cabinets for your garage is simple when you take the Ready-to-assemble route! RTA cabinets are flat-packed and shipped to your home. This means that the cabinets are shipped in pieces and just have to be put together like a 3D puzzle. On average, a cabinet takes about 20 minutes to assemble, but this can become very quick once you've got the hang of it. In most customers' experiences, it only takes a few hours to get all of your cabinets assembled, and then all you have to do is install them!

Installing cabinets in your garage is just like installing them in your kitchen, except you may have to deal with drilling into some concrete if your garage is constructed of solid concrete blocks. This may take a bit more time, but all you need to get this done is a concrete drill bit and some anchors to secure your cabinets to the wall.

How much do garage cabinets cost?

The funny thing about cabinetry is that it can really be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be. One of the most affordable ways to get cabinets for your garage is by buying RTA cabinets. With RTA cabinets, you save money that we would have otherwise spent on shipping and assembly. Since RTA cabinets are flat packed, it is easier to ship more RTA cabinets per truckload, which means cheaper shipping for you! These cabinets are milled to be easily assembled within a matter of minutes, which means just a bit of your time to save you a lot of money.

The cost of furnishing your garage with cabinets will depend on how many cabinets you need. For example, a 10' x 10' space can be filled with cabinets for as little as $2,000; or even less if you don't need special cabinets like sink cabinets.

Are kitchen cabinets good for garages?

The short answer to this question is: yes. However, this mainly hinges on what you want from your garage cabinets. Many homeowners are happy to just repurpose their old kitchen cabinets after a remodel and use them in their garage. If you're happy with the way that they look and you don't mind a bit of wear and tear on them already then this is a great option. Even a few coats of paint on these cabinets can give them a much fresher look.

If you want your cabinets to last, you may need to take into consideration what your cabinets are made from. Older cabinets made from solid wood will likely have a worn finish and are more likely to be subject to movement, especially in warmer, humid environments. Modern cabinets are made with higher quality finishes and engineered materials like MDF that are much less likely to bend and bow when subject to changes in temperature. Overall, kitchen cabinets are a great fit for garages, just keep in mind what you want from your cabinets when making your decision.
