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: What happens if you don't sand cabinets?

• <div><p>If you don't sand your cabinets, the new paint or stain won&rsquo;t adhere properly, impacting the final finish and leading to peeling, chipping, or a sloppy result that won't stand the test of time. Sanding removes the old finish, smooths imperfections, and gives the new coat something to grip. Without it, you will waste your time, money, and effort.</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: What kind of paint should I use on veneer cabinets?

• <div><p>For a smooth and long-lasting finish, opt for an 100 percent acrylic, semi gloss latex self-leveling paint. There are many brands and types of paint to choose from, so do research before deciding which one is best for your project. Some paints even have qualities that might save you time. For example, some paints have primer so you can skip priming separately and start painting right away. </p></div>

Q: Can resurfacing or refacing be a DIY project?

• <div><p>While certain kits make DIY possible, professionals ensure durability and quality of finish, which is vital for high-moisture areas like baths.</p></div>
