How do you decide whether to repaint or replace kitchen cabinets during a renovation and what factors like cost durability and style influence your final choice

Repaint if cabinets are solid but just outdated—it’s cheaper and freshens the look. Replace if they’re worn, poorly built, or the layout doesn’t work. Cost, how long you want them to last, and the style you’re aiming for all guide the decision.

When deciding whether to repaint or replace kitchen cabinets during a renovation, consider the following factors:

Repainting:

  1. Cost: Repainting is generally more budget-friendly, with costs ranging from $3 to $10 per square foot.
  2. Condition: If cabinets are structurally sound, repainting can be a great option.
  3. Style: If you like the current style and layout, repainting can update the look.

Replacing:

  1. Durability: New cabinets can offer improved durability and functionality.
  2. Style: If you want a completely new look or layout, replacing might be necessary.
  3. Customization: New cabinets can be custom-made to fit your needs.

Influencing factors:

  1. Budget: Your budget will play a significant role in deciding between repainting and replacing.
  2. Desired outcome: If you want a fresh, modern look or need improved functionality, replacing might be better.
