How much does it cost to replace the kitchen cabinets?
There are many kinds of kitchen cabinet materials, styles and sizes, and the cost of replacing kitchen cabinets varies greatly. There are usually three questions to consider before replacing kitchen cabinets:
1. Storage space.
Before replacing your existing kitchen cabinets, take some time to examine the design of your existing cabinets. Updated kitchen cabinets should have ergonomic, user-friendly features that maximize space. Custom slide-out system can maximize space in your kitchen cabinets. For example, slide-out shelves, with this option you can add up to 50% more space to your existing cabinets.
2. Longevity of the kitchen.
Carefully crafted, professionally installed kitchen cabinets last a lifetime, with classic craftsmanship that will stand the test of time. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. Poor quality cabinets can have many problems over time. Improper installation can also cause damage, such as shelving brackets break, door hinges corrode and break, cabinet doors fall off, etc.
3.Your timeline
You might want to change your timeline and save more before making budget-conscious choices that skimp on quality or aesthetics, especially if you are in a hurry to remodel or sell your home. Well-made old cabinets can easily be painted fresh colors.
There are a variety of costs to consider when replacing kitchen cabinets. There are two main budget areas to consider: kitchen cabinet cost and installation cost.
1. Installation cost
The labor cost depends on the cabinet you choose, and the person you choose to install it. Companies that offer custom cabinets may offer you a set price that includes installation costs. While the exact number varies depending on where you live, here are some guidelines to get you started:
