It can be easy to overlook just how much real estate your cabinets take up in your kitchen. If you still love the style of your cabinets, but they're beginning to look a bit tired, cabinet refinishing is the solution. This method uses sanding or solvents to strip the current paint or stain off of the cabinet doors and boxes.
Once the cabinets are returned to their raw state, you can have them re-stained or painted. For example, if you're moving from a rustic style in your kitchen to a contemporary white kitchen, refinishing your cabinets will get you the look that you want. Updating the hardware and hinges on the cabinets will further transform them. You might be surprised by just how different your kitchen looks and feels after having your cabinets updated. So, if you're tired of your kitchen but aren't sure what changes you want to make, start with reimagining your cabinets.
Anyone who's undergone a full kitchen remodel project knows just how disruptive they can be. If you want to do your remodeling in stages, starting with your cabinets makes sense. This is a great way to get a feel for how your planned changes will look upon execution. Refinishing is a lot less disruptive than a replacement. If you want a completely new look for your kitchen but don't relish the thought of having to eat takeout for weeks on end, consider a cabinet upgrade.
While you will have to empty all of your cabinets, as they're usually refinished off-site, the process takes a much shorter amount of time than a replacement. This is especially true if your current cabinets are custom-made. The lead time to replace your cabinets will be substantial. Of course, no one likes disruptions of any kind, but the more they can be minimized, the better. Your choice will also be eco-friendly as no new materials will be needed for your new cabinets, barring any changes to your hardware.
Planning any changes to your kitchens in stages is another way to keep your family from feeling like their world's been turned upside down. You can order new appliances, and, during the lead time, have your cabinets removed. While your cabinets are being refinished, you can take care of any painting and lighting upgrades. Once your new appliances are delivered and your cabinets reinstalled, you can focus on your next steps.
A major advantage of working with a professional contractor is that they know how to work on a deadline to ensure that there's not too much chaos in your life at any one time. Don't let the fear of disruption prevent you from creating the kitchen of your dreams. Once all of the work is completed and you and your family are enjoying your beautiful new kitchen, all of the efforts will be worth it.
Any home remodeling project can require a substantial investment. Fortunately, when you choose cabinet refinishing rather than replacement, your budget will thank you. There's not a lot of expense that comes with refinish projects, especially when compared to replacing your entire cabinet system. You will have material and labor costs, and any expenses incurred when you update your hardware, but they'll have a much smaller impact on your budget.
Sanding and stripping the current stain or paint is usually the most time-consuming and thus most expensive part of the process. Your refinisher will give you an upfront estimate of how much the project will cost, and you might be pleasantly surprised. Of course, nothing of quality is cheap, but a refinishing project is typically affordable. This is another advantage of tackling your remodel project in stages.
Once the disruption and cost of one phase of the project is behind you, it's time to move on to the next one. This is an effective way to get the kitchen of your dreams without having to spend your entire home remodeling budget in one room. Working out a budget and timeline with your contractor is a good way to avoid any unexpected surprises and stress. There's no reason to wait to begin your remodeling project, as there are many budget-friendly approaches available. In addition to your cabinet refinishing, you can explore other changes that will have a large impact on your kitchen without eating all of your budget.
If you're considering refinishing your cabinets, you've probably looked at refacing options as well. The main benefit of refinishing over refacing is that your entire cabinet system is updated. You won't have to worry about having the cabinet boxes re-painted or re-stained, as the entire system is included in the project. This is good news for anyone who wants to go from a painted cabinet to one that's stained, or vice versa. You'll enjoy having the entire system dealt with at one time.
Refinishing projects never feel like a compromise for this reason. You're not trying to approach the update in a piecemeal fashion that leaves you feeling frustrated and disappointed. When you make the decision to update your hinges and hardware at the same time that your cabinets are refinished, it's really like you're getting brand-new cabinets!
When all of the updates are complete and the cabinet system is back up on the wall, you'll probably be amazed by just how significant the impact of the finished product is. Even if your cabinet refinishing is the only task you undertake, your entire kitchen will look and feel different.
Anyone who's mostly pleased with their current kitchen but wants to give it a bit of a refresh, should explore refinishing. Not only will your cabinets look brand new, but they'll also provide a breath of fresh air to your entire home. Quality cabinets can last longer than you enjoy their style, and rather than replace a part of your kitchen that's still functioning as intended, you can just give them a new look.
Cabinets and cupboards are the foundation of any good kitchen design, and when they look exactly the way you want them to, it's hard to not love your entire kitchen. Once your refinishing project is complete, you might feel inspired to tackle other home improvement and remodeling projects. Now's an ideal time to take a closer look at the many ways that you can improve the appearance of your home decor without having to spend a lot of money or endure a lot of disruption.
