kitchen cabinet uniform building codes?

Upper cabinets should be 16" / 18" above the counter top

I would never go to Lowes or Home depot, despite what the comercials say I have yet to see any profesinals that work there. I don't care what other people say about the exeriance they have had there, I built a custom house with everything bought at lowes down to the trim, these people do not know how to figure anyhting especially cabinets. What I am trying to say is stay the H E L L away from Lowes or Home Depot. Building Cabinets is very time consuming especially if you don't have the right tools. One guy recomended just a face lift great idea you could have a profesinal do that or DIY, but once again very time consuming but you would save a lot of cash. My advice is to go to a custom cabinet shop and have them give you a bid (they will do that for free) and then go to a real Lumber yard and have them give you a bid on pre made cabinets. Then compare your bids to what it would cost to build them your self you might be suprised. I hope this helps Good luck.

kitchen cabinets should be how far above a stove
