Since the cabinets in your house get a lot of use, and trends change, changing out your cabinets may seem like the only option. Turns out, it’s not. If the wood is in good condition, you could take a chance on a refinishing job. Replacing them is a big – and costly- decision. Cabinet refinishing can add life, but are your cabinets up to the task? Should you refinish cabinet doors or just replace them?

In this article, our professionals will dive into both of these options and when it’s the right choice to choose each one. We’ll also provide you with the next steps to get in touch with a professional company that can help you reface or refinish your cabinets. Let’s get started!

Refinishing Cabinet Doors

Refinishing your cabinets can be a good idea if your current layout and design is functional and your cabinets are in good shape. By adding a new stain or paint, you’ll have the chance to update the look of the cabinets, while utilizing the current configuration. The addition of new and updated hardware can give your room a new feel. This will save when you get to the bottom line.

When looking at refinishing your cabinets there are a few considerations to put into place. Answer these questions:

• Are your cabinets made of particle board?
• Were they last refinished or repainted more than 10 years old?
• What material are they made of?

Depending on the answers to these questions, you could be able to refinish the cabinets and save money. Refinishing cabinets is not a cheap prospect, but it is more affordable than a full cabinet replacement.

Refacing Kitchen Cabinets

Sometimes kitchen cabinets cannot be saved. Dealing with significant damage can make a refinishing job impossible. Cabinets that are not suitable for refinishing include the following:

• Water damage
• Warping
• Soft spots
• Mold
• Poor quality material

Always look at the functionality of the space when it comes to decisions of cabinetry. If the cabinets don’t work in the space they are in, replacing them might be the only answer.
