Protect Cabinetry With Stepladder Bumpers
This simple method will ensure your cabinets stay in good condition while completing other work.
As a long-time cabinet installer, I understand the importance of protecting finished cabinetry while working. When installing crown and fascia, rehanging doors, etc., I protect the base cabinets by padding my stepladder. To make the padding, I cut, wrap, and tape foam pipe insulation to the stepladder legs.
