When should I repair my cabinets versus replace them?

• <div><p>Since there are many methods of repairing your cabinets, including refacing and refinishing, it can be tricky to know when to replace or fix your existing cabinets. Generally, it’s best to repair your existing cabinets when the cabinet boxes are in good condition. Additionally, this option is best when you’re being budget-friendly or remodeling. </p><p>Replacing your cabinets is best when you’re changing the layout of the room or when the cabinet boxes are in rough shape. It’s also best to replace your cabinets if you need more storage space, as this will remove the existing cabinets for new ones. </p></div>

Q: Can you use a steam cleaner on laminate cabinets?

• <div><p>No, we don&rsquo;t recommend using a steam cleaner on laminate surfaces, including kitchen cabinets. Steam can affect the structure of laminate cabinets, loosening the layers and causing them to warp. However, you can deep clean your laminate cabinets using other methods, such as soap and water or a vinegar mixture.</p></div>

Q: Which component tends to incur the highest cost during a kitchen renovation project?

• <div><p>Cabinetry is usually the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel, frequently making up 30% to 40% of the overall costs. Cabinets require a lot of materials and are time-consuming to install. However, you can save significantly by refinishing or refacing existing dated cabinets that are still in good working order. Appliances, countertops, and flooring are the other costly elements to budget for.</p></div>

Q: Can pros change the stain color during refinishing?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can change the stain color during refinishing by stripping old finishes and applying new stain. They offer expert color matching and application methods, resulting in a refreshed look that aligns with the homeowner's design preferences.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to paint or replace kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>It is cheaper to paint kitchen cabinets than to replace them. Painting costs range from <b>$400 to $1,300</b>, based on the size and complexity of the project and the average costs in your area. In contrast, replacing kitchen cabinets can cost several thousand dollars, including materials, installation, and potential modifications to countertops and plumbing. </p></div>

A nightmare!! A kitchen cabinet refacing was to take 3-4 days, but it took 14 months. When it was finally over I asked them to updatemy warrantee to start on the completion date they refused. They said the last year of inco.petence was just follow up. Stay away from these people!!
