        "text": "Upper cabinets are typically installed before base cabinets. Hanging the uppers first gives installers clear access to the wall without having to reach over a 24-inch-deep lower cabinet base. This prevents accidental dings, scratches, or weight strain on newly set base cabinets during installation. Installers mount a temporary support ledger board on the wall studs to hold the upper boxes level while driving heavy-duty cabinet screws directly into the framing, removing the ledger once the upper run is fully secured.",
