Kitchen Reno - Who Buys Cabinets

[Mike Ballew]

When doing a kitchen renovation would you recommend buying the kitchen cabinets yourself or having the contractor do it?  If you have the contractor do it then it seems like you are signing up a contractor, they order the cabinets, then they go away for 6-8 weeks it takes for the cabinets to arrive.  I was thinking maybe better to buy the cabinets myself and once the cabinets arrive onsite sign up a kitchen contractor then.  Your thoughts?
