        "text": "While handy homeowners can take down simple cabinets, hiring an experienced contractor prevents costly mistakes involving plumbing, hidden electrical wiring, and structural framing. Base cabinets often conceal water supply lines, drain stacks, and wiring for dishwashers, disposals, or under-cabinet lighting. Improper demolition can rupture water lines or cause extensive drywall damage. A hands-on contractor manages the disconnection sequence safely, protects surrounding flooring, and ensures the wall studs are properly prepped for the next phase of your remodel.",
