Why You Should Paint Your Cabinets and Not Replace Them

So, you are thinking about changing the look of your cabinets, but do you really want to replace them? The chances are good that if your cabinets are in good working condition, you may want to try painting them instead. That is because there are more than a few reasons why you should paint your cabinets versus replacing them.

Before you go cabinet shopping or make a drastic change, consider a simpler and equally effective measure, like painting them. Here are some of the benefits of painting your cabinets over replacing them and what you should know.

If you are the DIY type, you can already imagine the effort and time it would take to replace your cabinets. If you are more inclined to use contractors to install your cabinets, that is also another expense, in addition to the cost of the cabinets. Those are also a few reasons why you should paint your cabinets instead of replacing them.

If you are going to replace your cabinets, that also means removing your existing counters. And it doesn’t matter if you do it yourself or hire the job out; this project will require a considerable amount of time to complete. Save yourself considerable time and transform your old cabinets by painting them.

No, painting is never considered a "clean" job, but compared to removing old cabinets, installing new cabinets, drilling, cutting, hammering, and the work, it is a small mess. Less mess also means easier and quicker cleanup too.

The cost is arguably the most convincing reason to consider painting your cabinets over replacing them. In addition to the cost of installing them yourself or using contractors is the cost of the cabinets themselves. If your cabinets are in good condition and work just fine, then painting them will not only transform the look of your cabinets but save you more than a few dollars as well.

Let’s be honest, if you decide in six months or two years after replacing your cabinets that you want to change the room’s look, that can become an expensive endeavor. If you paint your cabinets, however, deciding to change the color or look is much less involved and much easier to change.
