You can style them the way you want and eliminate all the signs of wear and tear from the past years. But, how should you go about updating your kitchen cabinets?  

We can help you decide on the best kitchen cabinet options you can opt for keeping in mind the cost as well as the many pros and cons of replacing or installing your kitchen cabinets.  

Let’s get right into it! 

Replacing Your Cabinets 

When you talk about replacing your cabinets, that means completely replacing them with brand new cabinets of your choice. Everything will be replaced from the cabinet box construction to the entire door. It allows you to pick everything from scratch – styles, colors, and finishes.  

Replacing your cabinets can cost you different – it all depends on your needs and on the location of your house.  Other areas have different prices for replacing cabinets. They can go as high as $20,000.  

The cost depends on the following: 

  • The style of the cabinet: There are many options to choose from when styling a cabinet, such as semi-custom, custom, and stock. The cost tends to be much higher when you opt for a custom or semi-custom one. This is for people who have different designs and measurements in their kitchen.   
  • The type of layout: The cost of fixing your new cabinets depends on the new structure that you’ve set for your kitchen. If it is large, you’ll have to put in more money to get the cabinets that complement it.  
  • The materials being used: There is no denying that all materials have a different cost. If you replace your plywood cabinets with solid wood, it will cost you based on the accessibility and strength of the wood being used.  
  • The design: Cabinets with simple designs are of a lower cost than the ones with more complex designs. It depends on you and your preference.
