Let CertaPro Painters Refinish Your Kitchen Cabinets
Posted on May 31, 2022
Kitchen cabinets have many expectations to live up to. They must be sturdy and large enough to hold dishes, silverware, pots, and pans, and other kitchen supplies. They need to be able to withstand splatters from sauces, leaks from water, bumps, and scrapes caused by heavy kitchen traffic, and dirt from your hands from chopping up mess.
When doing kitchen renovations, it is important to decide whether you want to completely replace your cabinets, or you just want to make them better. When it comes to your kitchen cabinets, you may wonder whether you should have them refaced, repainted, or replaced altogether. Before tearing out your existing kitchen cabinets and undertaking a complex remodel, you may want to think about refacing, repainting, or refinishing the existing cabinets.
Refacing, repainting, or refinishing your kitchen cabinets are far more affordable alternatives to replacing them entirely, particularly if you are already happy with the way your kitchen looks. If your kitchen cabinets are in poor shape, or you are looking to make changes in your overall kitchen layout, pulling out the old cabinets and replacing them with new cabinets might be a better choice. You should opt for replacement cabinets when building a new house, tearing out the kitchen, or building a new addition that includes the kitchen.
There are times when refacing cabinets is not going to be an option, and you will have to replace them. If your kitchen has been sitting around for some time, and needs some upgrades, giving the cabinets some TLC is in order. If you are looking to make your kitchen more attractive, but are wary about the idea of replacing everything entirely, then a facelift or cabinet refinishing is something you should instead consider.
When it comes time to give your cabinets a new, fresh look, usually, you want a total replacement, but refinishing cabinets is another option. If your homes cabinets are still in good structural shape, you can totally revitalize them by refinishing. For the budget-conscious, a refinishing job can provide a fresh look to your cabinets that mirrors that of a facelift and replacement, but at a fraction of the cost. To begin, a refinished cabinet allows you to start over fresh in your kitchen, with brand-new, cleaned cabinets that last for another decade of use.
Replacing Can Cost You Thousands Out of Pocket, Refinishing Your Kitchen Cabinets May be the Answer
There is no question that replacing cabinets with brand-new units would be a bigger cost than refinishing. Even if it costs less than replacing cabinets in your kitchen with custom-built cabinets, do not rush into refinishing with the expectation it is going to be a cheaper alternative to new cabinets.
Cabinet refinishing is a good value if your existing cabinets are well-built, in good shape, and you are looking for a drastically different look. The added costs can just erase your initial savings, and your refaced cabinets will cost about as much as an all-new one. A new home or kitchen remodel should come with brand-new cabinets that you will be happy with for years.
While your new cabinets need to match your kitchen counters dimensions and layout, you might still have options for changing the heights and widths of the cabinets. In other words, a new set of cabinets can allow the kitchen to match the habits and needs of your family in a much better way. To save serious cash, you can simply replace your cabinets doors with actual wooden doors, totally changing the entire look and feel of your kitchen. When replacing your cabinets faces, you have plenty of styles and finishes of doors you can choose from, which will give your kitchen new life.
Online, there are many videos that will cover the process on how to do a facelift (replace your cabinets doors) and stain your kitchen cabinets for a fresh, modern look. You will actually save a considerable amount of money in your budget by refinishing cabinets rather than replacing them, and you still get that dream kitchen finish that you are looking for.
