Handyman Alpharetta GA: Cabinet Renovation Considerations

When it comes to choosing new cabinets for your kitchen, bathrooms, or laundry room, there are three essential points of criteria: aesthetics, functionality, and durability. 

These considerations are the priorities of a successful cabinet choice, in order to make sure your cabinets not only look good, but are practical while still standing the test of time.

Aesthetics

The first thought is always about appearance, if you are going to invest in new cabinets for any room in your home you want them to be beautiful right?

Do you favor the natural beauty of wood finishes? Maybe cherry, maple, or oak cabinets catch your eye with their unique grains and textures. 

These natural wood cabinets can be stained to match your chosen color palette, creating a truly stunning addition to your home. 

On the other hand, if you prefer bolder colors in your kitchen, painted finishes offer a multitude of popular choices.

Functionality

Your cabinets need to have great functionality. Are you a person who loves to cook?

Then how about pull-out shelving in base cabinets for hassle-free access to pots and pans?

Maybe you have a lot of small appliances like food processors etc. Then you need more space. Maybe deeper cabinets and drawers. 

Don't forget about the details like the hardware (door and drawer pulls) which also make a great impression on the design and feel of your cabinets. 

Durability

This is the final and the most important aspect of your decisions when it comes to your new cabinetry. 

While budget-friendly cabinets may be made from pressboard, a blend of wood chips and sawdust held together with a binder, they lack durability and will swell and disintegrate if exposed to moisture. 

If they become damaged there is no way to repair it; replacement is the only option.

Instead, consider cabinets with plywood sides and backs paired with genuine wood fronts. 

Also consider cabinet doors and drawer fronts made of solid wood rather than particle board. 

This gives hinge screws a sturdy anchor point which adds to the longevity of your cabinets.

Think Long-Term 

Always consider cabinets are a long-term investment. They will be a part of your home for 20 years or more. 

If you choose cabinets that are aesthetically pleasing, functional, and durable, you will enjoy your new cabinets for many years to come.
