Get matched with top kitchen cabinet refacing pros in Carrington, ND

Refaced cabinets should last for 10 to 20 years and possibly even longer. The process holds up better than simpler refinishing methods like painting or glazing, which is why it’s a popular, albeit costly, option. In fact, refaced cabinets last roughly as long as brand-new ones. The difference is that new cabinets can last up to 50 years if they are exceptionally high-quality. Proper maintenance, like regular cleaning and avoidance of harsh products and water damage, can increase the lifespan of your kitchen cabinets, no matter if they are new, refaced, or refinished.

Any of your garage shelves should be able to hold heavier loads, but it’s best to place heavier items on middle shelves. The only reason for this is to prevent injury—lifting heavy loads from down low requires squatting or bending over, which can lead to back injury, and lifting heavy loads off of high shelves in the garage can be especially dangerous if you drop them.

It is cheaper to paint kitchen cabinets than to replace them. Painting costs range from $400 to $1,300, 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. 

First, start with any planned structural changes. That includes demolition and installing new gas lines, piping, or lighting. From there, complete any projects that require a lot of construction to install. Paint your walls while the space is mostly empty, install the cabinets before the countertops to ensure the former doesn’t get damaged, and save all cosmetic changes (like installing new light fixtures or hardware) for the very last moment.
