The kitchen is the heart of a home, the cabinets are the face of the kitchen, and––as the saying goes––you’ve got to put your best face forward. When it comes to updating your kitchen cabinets, though, how do you know if it is better to refurbish or repaint? In this article, our professionals will dive into both 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 with your cabinet refurbishing or repainting project.

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?
• Have you replaced your in the last 10 years?
• Are they made of lacquer?

If the answers are no, 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.

Replacing 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.
