We know that a warm and welcoming room featuring quality Northeast Ohio Kitchen Cabinets is the center of a happy home. But such a busy room comes in for a lot of wear and tear, and your kitchen can quickly start to look past its best. However, to bring it back to life you do not necessarily need a full remodel. Sprucing up your cabinets can make an amazing difference. There are three main ways of doing this: repainting, refacing, or replacing. Which one is right for you?
Repainting Northeast Ohio Kitchen Cabinets
Sanding your cabinets down and giving them a new finish is a quick and inexpensive way of making them look younger and better. You can ring the changes with a new color, make a gloomy kitchen look brighter, or just freshen up the overall look.
However, there are a couple of problems with repainting. Not all cabinets can be treated successfully. For example, laminate surfaces will not respond well to sanding, and badly scratched doors may still look shabby despite a new finish.
And even with suitable cabinets, using the wrong materials or not preparing the surface properly can give a poor result. Worse, it can even damage the underlying structure of your furniture. If you decide to repaint, it is a good idea to get an expert opinion from us regarding your Northeast Ohio Kitchen Cabinets.
Refacing Your Existing Layout
Refacing your cabinets means removing their doors and drawer fronts and then installing new ones. The frames of the cabinets are then treated with a veneer or wood stain to blend the final result together.
This is a good halfway point between repainting and a full remodel. It is fairly quick and inexpensive to do, but it allows a lot of flexibility in the final look.
However, with refacing, it is even more important to seek professional advice before starting out. Accurate measurement of the replacement parts is vital. Also, some combinations of materials will not fit together well, potentially leading to warping or other damage. Lastly, refacing is only a good option if the main structure of the cabinets is still in good condition.
Replacing With New Northeast Ohio Kitchen Cabinets
The final way of upgrading your space is a full replacement from us at Northeast Factory Direct. This is the only realistic option for old cabinets which are badly worn, warped or damaged. It is also a good way to change the layout of your kitchen without going to the expense and trouble of a full remodeling project. It is relatively easy to move existing appliances about and fit new Northeast Ohio Kitchen Cabinets around them.
Replacement also has the advantage of extending the life of your kitchen for longer than the other two more straightforward, cheaper options. Your new cabinets should last for years, and by the time they need upgrading again, you will probably be ready for a completely new kitchen.
All these options can make a huge difference to the look and feel of your kitchen, but they can also all go wrong in their own ways. If you want to get a better kitchen for the best price, think carefully before starting any improvement project, and always consider taking expert advice from us before spending any money.
