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 convert face frame cabinets to frameless or vice-versa?

• <div><p>The designs are different enough that a conversion would mean more or less fully replacing cabinets to switch between the two. However, if you really like the frameless look but you have face frame cabinets, you may be able to mimic the style by replacing your cabinet doors with full overlay ones.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to replace moldy kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>If there is only a small mold problem, then you might be able to remove it and save the kitchen cabinets by acting fast. However, if the mold is severe, has spread to other parts of your kitchen or home, or is impacting sensitive family members, then you should replace the cabinets. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-kitchen-cabinets-types-costs-and-installation.htm">kitchen cabinet installation costs</a> between $2,000 and $11,100, or $6,400 on average.</p></div>

Q: What types of cabinets are available?

• <div><p>Options include stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinets, each offering varying levels of personalization and cost.</p></div>

Q: How do you install cabinet doors evenly?

• <div><p>To install cabinet doors evenly, it&rsquo;s important to make sure that all drilled holes and hardware are in their right places and aligned properly. You can achieve the ideal placement by using a level, straightedge, or other measuring tool. In the event that your cabinet doors are not installed evenly, most hinges allow you to adjust them so that your doors can be perfectly lined up. </p></div>
