Cabinets are some of the first things people notice when walking into your kitchen, and they can also make or break your kitchen’s functionality. Your old cabinets can last for as long as you’re in your home without fail, but there are many reasons to update them.
Keep reading to learn a few reasons to install new kitchen cabinets for remodeling.
There’s structural damage
The main reason to install new cabinets is if you notice structural damage. Cabinets that are coming apart at the joints, sagging from the ceiling or pulling away from the frame are unsightly and dangerous. A professional may be able to make repairs to address these issues if they’re caught early, but the longer this damage goes untouched, the greater the need for replacement.
You need a new layout
Your kitchen’s layout has just as much to do with aesthetics as it does functionality. The wrong layout for you and your home will look weird and make cooking a challenge. Though it’s not always the case, switching up a layout often results in replacing kitchen cabinetry. Changing a layout isn’t always cheap, but it’s always worth the money.
You’re running out of storage space
Another top reason to get new kitchen cabinets for remodeling is if you’re short on storage space. You’re limiting your efficiency in the kitchen if you’ve got kitchen gear sitting out on the countertops because there’s no room for them in your cabinets. Work with a home remodeling contractor to design custom cabinets that work for you to make your life easier.
Your new accessories won’t fit
A big mistake homeowners make is neglecting to measure their kitchens before buying new ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers or other large appliances. Failing to measure can mean that the appliance won’t fit on installation day. Instead of returning your large appliance, consider replacing your cabinets. A professional can craft custom cabinets that work around your new appliances.
You’re updating your interior design
You can still replace your cabinets even if you’ve got plenty of storage space and your current layout works. Another reason why you should go with new cabinets is to give your kitchen a bit of a face-lift. Whether you go with an ultra-chic design or something more traditional, new cabinets will make your kitchen stand out among others in your neighborhood.
You’d like to increase your home’s value
Outdated cabinetry with shoddy craftsmanship actually lowers your property value and makes your home tougher to sell when you put it up for sale, so the best way to turn that around is by replacing them. As long as you work with a reputable pro, you can expect a high return on investment (ROI) for cabinet replacement.
