If your kitchen cabinets are showing wear, it generally makes more sense to have them professionally refinished than to purchase new ones. This isn’t always the case, but weighing the pros and cons can help you decide if it’s right for you.

The Pros & Cons of Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing in Delray Beach:

Pros:

• Save money: Refinishing your kitchen cabinets in Delray Beach will almost always be less expensive than installing new ones of the same quality, especially if you have real wood cabinets that were made before 1980, which typically used higher quality wood.
• Save time: Unless you opt for low-quality prefab cabinets, the turnaround time for restoring your existing cabinets is much quicker. Installing new cabinets could take weeks or months and often involves a complete kitchen overhaul. The only significant cost for refinishing is labor, while buying new involves many additional expenses.
• Less mess: Tearing out an entire kitchen and installing new cabinets is a messy and disruptive project. If you hire Barry of LE Furniture Repair for the restoration, the process involves minimal mess, and he’ll ensure your home remains as clean as when he arrived.

Cons:

• Fixed layout: Generally, the cabinets you refinish will remain in the same location. This is a drawback only if you’re dissatisfied with your current kitchen layout.
• Material limitations: Kitchen cabinet refinishing is only feasible if the cabinets are made of real wood (like Cherry or Oak) – it’s not suitable for metal or particle board cabinets.
