Is It Better To Paint Or Refinish Kitchen Cabinets?
Did you know that the average person spends about 37 minutes each day in the kitchen? That adds up to almost one million minutes over the course of a lifetime!
This is clearly an important space that’s the heart of the home. So shouldn’t it be a place you love? The answer is yes! Which is why so many homeowners spend precious remodeling dollars renewing their kitchen cabinets.
Comparing Cabinet Refinishing Vs. Painting
You may be surprised by how something as simple as changing the color of kitchen cabinets can transform a space and boost the value of your home. And for the budget-conscious in all of us, there are two common methods homeowners choose instead of replacing their cabinets entirely: painting or refinishing.
Here’s a head-to-head comparison of each.
Painting
Pros: Painting allows you to choose from a variety of bold custom cabinet colors like white, gray, or even blue. This is a great option if you don’t want to preserve the natural wood grain of your cabinets.
Cons: Painting cabinets is a labor intensive DIY project, and even many professional cabinet painters miss important steps in the process—like using paint meant for walls instead of cabinets or failing to clean and prep your cabinets properly. If you do choose to paint, it’s well worth hiring a professional to apply your new custom cabinet color for you.
Refinishing
Pros: Cabinet refinishing enhances and preserves natural wood grain and is a significantly faster, less invasive service. Refinishing is a budget-friendly way to restore color and repair damage to your cabinets—making them look like new in just 1-2 day with N-Hance.
Cons: Cabinet refinishing may not be the choice for those who want an opaque custom cabinet color rather than wood grain cabinets.
Note: Your best choice could be to meet in the middle with a cabinet color change. With this service, the stain on your cabinets can be changed dramatically—like from a light stain to dark or vice versa—while still maintaining the integrity of natural wood. This service typically takes 3-5 days or less with N-Hance.
