When it comes to the cabinets in your home, they can take up a lot of real estate. Having fresh looking cabinets can make any home more attractive, especially in the kitchen – a main focal point.
While we all dream of a beautiful kitchen renovation, it can be very costly to front. If renovating your kitchen isn’t within your budget, focusing on your cabinetry is a good place to start. Giving your cabinetry a refresh can mean replacing them entirely or spraying them with fresh coats of paint. So what option is best for you?
Below we’ll explore the pros and cons of spraying your cabinetry with new paint or replacing them altogether.
Should I spray my cabinets?
Spraying with fresh coats of paint will freshen up the existing look of your cabinetry. Today, spray cabinetry in Toronto has become a popular choice that can upgrade any cabinet in the fraction of the price it takes for replacement.
Giving old cabinets a fresh coat of paint through spray technique can also be done much faster, but can be a risky option for those who lack the skills. While many people are enticed to complete DIY projects of spray cabinetry, we recommend spray cabinetry be performed by a professional painting service in Toronto, Ontario.
Why? Surface preparation is critical for any paint to properly adhere. Additionally, spraying your cabinets with the wrong type of paint could lead to warping and peeling particularly if the surface wasn’t prepared correctly. On the other hand, if your cabinets are in good condition, spray cabinetry can be a fantastic option, and will give them the transformation you’re looking for.
Some added benefits of spray cabinetry performed in Toronto are:
-
Faster than tearing down old cabinets and installing new ones
-
More affordable than installing new cabinets with the same general look and outcome
-
Allows you to keep your existing layout – no reconfiguration needed
-
Can be a more sustainable option, as you’ll avoid wasting durable materials for a simple colour upgrade
Should I replace my cabinetry?
Your cabinets will see a lot of wear and tear throughout the years they are being used. Because most cabinets are made from wood, water damage, chipping and cracks can become concerns that you’ll have to eventually deal with. If the damage is extensive, we do not recommend re-painting or spraying them over, but rather replacing them entirely.
While replacement of cabinetry is the more expensive option, we recommend going through with replacement options if your cabinets are severely damaged. Sprayed cabinets will not properly adhere if they are in poor condition.
