Considerations When Choosing Between New Kitchen Cabinets and Cabinet Refinishing

by | Jul 13, 2015 | Construction and Maintenance

There’s nothing more welcoming than a nice, spacious, organized, clean kitchen with nice walls, floors, counters, and cabinets.  As the kitchen is one of the most used and most messily used rooms in the home it stands to reason that signs of use can show up and take away from the look and feel of the kitchen. Add to that the fact that styles change. If your kitchen isn’t really your style or if your kitchen’s style is okay but needs a bit of sprucing up, there are things to think about. Should you refinish your cabinets or should you completely gut the area and put in all new kitchen cabinets?

Do You Like Your Cabinets?

If you don’t mind the look of your cabinets, they can be repaired and refinished. If they’re dark and you like light or they’re light and you want dark, or if you’re interested in new hardware or pulls on kitchen drawers, all of these things can be easily fixed. If you don’t have major issues with the configuration and the cabinetry, it could be very doable to make some changes and do some cabinet refinishing.

Are they damaged beyond Repair?

In addition to thinking about whether or not you want minor or major changes you’ll want to look at the feasibility of doing some refinishing. Severe damage could mean that it’s more pragmatic to replace the cabinets. On the other side of the coin, the damage could be minimal, enough that sanding it away and refinishing could make your cabinets look like new.

What’s Your Kitchen Remodeling Budget?

It stands to reason that refinishing will cost a whack less than replacing your kitchen cabinets. It’s helpful to review the costs, advantages, and disadvantages of all available options so that you can move ahead with the facts.

What Else Needs to be Done?

What else needs to be done? Do you need new flooring? Are the countertops going to need refinishing or replacing, too? If you’re looking at more than one area for improvements you’ll want to think about whether to get it done all at once or to do things in stages.

How will the Refinishing and / or Replacing Get Done?

Kitchen remodeling companies can help you get the changes you want made quickly and efficiently. Working with professionals will mean the job gets done quickly and professionally. Whether replacing kitchen cabinets or remodeling them, it’s helpful to consider dealing with professionals for the many benefits over doing it yourself.
