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: 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>

Q: What should I do if I spill wood refinishing oil?

• <div><p>If you spill wood refinishing oil, wipe up the liquid quickly without spreading the stain and then use soap and water or a stain remover to get rid of the spot. Since the product is oil based, using a detergent like dish soap or a thinner like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/paint-thinner-vs-mineral-spirits.htm">mineral spirits</a> will help take out the stain. You may need to repeat this process multiple times to remove the stain.</p></div>

Q: How much does professional refinishing cost?

• <div><p>If you have decided that hiring a professional to refinish your floors will be faster and more satisfactory, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $2,500. To get a better idea of what your hardwood refinishing project will cost with a professional, multiply the project&rsquo;s square footage by the average price of $4 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain installed cabinets?

Mike did a great job! He arrived on time and got right to work. And he went above and beyond, taking care of an unexpected glitch and finished the job on time. Mike refinished the bathtub, removed the old caulk and applied new caulk. It looks fantastic! Thank you, Mike!
