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 is the most common material for cabinet bases?

• <div><p>Solid wood is the most common material for cabinet bases. It&rsquo;s a popular choice because it&rsquo;s durable and will hold up over time. Oak, maple, cherry, hickory, and pine are all types of solid wood that can be used to build cabinet bases. Other options include plywood, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard</a>, and other types of manufactured lumber, but they need to be sealed properly to avoid swelling, separating, and delamination from moisture.</p></div>

Q: How far from the ceiling should kitchen cabinets be?

• <div><p>In many homes, upper cabinets are installed with a 1- to 2-foot gap between the tops and the ceiling. However, many homeowners extend their cabinets to the ceiling to gain extra storage and a polished, built-in look. </p></div>

Q: Can you replace a kitchen drawer?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace a kitchen drawer if it breaks or malfunctions. The best plan of action is to measure the existing drawer, purchase a replacement with similar drawer slides, and install the new one. You can reuse the current drawer hardware if it&rsquo;s still functional or spring for new handles if you want.</p></div>

Q: Can I install new doors on any old cabinets?

• <div><p>Yes, as long as the doors match the dimensions of your old cabinets and use compatible hinges. This method works best if you are using similar materials and door styles that match your existing cupboards. If you&rsquo;re choosing significantly different materials, like moving from fiberboard to hardwood, then it&rsquo;s usually best to replace the entire cabinet. </p></div>
