Functional and convenient, over time, old kitchen cabinets begin to show the wear and tear of a home well-lived in, and after 5-10 years, those kitchen cabinets you chose for your home when it was built are probably no longer in style. However, replacing an entire kitchen’s cabinets can be a very costly upgrade that many homeowners simply cannot afford. Low budget doesn’t mean that you have to stick with your old, worn, and may we dare say, ugly, kitchen cabinets indefinitely! At Eclips3Kitchens, we provide a wide range of custom kitchen cabinet makeover options that change the entire look, color and feel of the cabinetry in your home.
Over the years your kitchen cabinets will be opened and closed all day long, hundreds or maybe even thousands of times over the course of their lifetime. Add to that the dirt and grime of tiny hands, the grease of the stove, and everyday dust and debris that is common throughout the home and you may find it surprising your cabinets actually look as good as they do!
If your cabinets have lost their luster and just don’t seem to fit in with your home’s decor these days, it may be time for a professional cabinet makeover! At Eclips3Kitchens, we offer a number of cabinet color changing services that will restore your cabinetry to its glory days. Of course, that may mean changing their look a feel just a bit while your at it!
When replacing the cabinets in your home isn’t an option, you’re almost certain to resort to other methods of changing the color of the cabinetry in your home. Fortunately, we offer several quick and easy ways to change your kitchen cabinet colors and they’re all significantly more affordable than a full kitchen renovation!
Changing the look of your cabinets begins with a consultation where we visit in-home and inspect your cabinetry to determine the cabinet color-changing options that are most suitable for your kitchen. As long as your cabinets are still structurally in good standing, there are several possible solutions to your unwanted cabinet color.
A cost-effective method for changing the color of your cabinets, refinishing not only changes the color but also the appearance of your cabinetry for an entirely new look in your kitchen. For example, if your kitchen cabinets feature a classic wooden appearance and you’re contemplating a shift to a darker hue, opting for a refinishing approach may be ideal. Transitioning to a darker shade doesn’t necessarily require stripping away all the previous stain, but it is crucial to remove any lacquer or varnish present to ensure the new stain is thoroughly absorbed by the wood. Therefore, Eclips3Kitchens recommends homeowners prepare for this process to take up to a week for us to complete.
Similar to refinishing with stain as mentioned above, the procedure for repainting your cabinets follows comparable steps. The process typically takes 3-7 days as multiple coats of paint are dispersed to ensure a quality finish that lasts long-term. For detailed guidance on selecting between repainting or restaining, Eclips3Kitchens provides insightful resources on the differences between painted and stained cabinets.
To understand the full cost implications of refinishing your cabinets, we can offer a detailed summary estimate, ensuring you have all the information needed to make an informed decision. Contact Eclips3Kitchens for key details about painting your kitchen cabinets and for a free, in-home consultation.
Refacing your cabinets with Eclips3Kitchens represents a more premium option compared to refinishing, offering enhanced customization. Cabinet refacing goes beyond merely applying new stain or paint; it involves replacing the doors and drawer fronts of your cabinets to bring them up to date. You are also given the option to consider updating the hardware, drawer pulls, toe kicks, and other elements of your kitchen cabinetry to completely transform the look of your space.
Choosing to reface your cabinets is certainly ideal for those looking to introduce an entirely new level of sophistication and variety to the aesthetics of their kitchen or bath. However, it is important to consider the potential costs involved in refacing vs refinishing as pricing does vary greatly between the two.
Changing the color of your kitchen cabinetry can have a profound impact on the visual look and feel of your home. Resurfacing your kitchen cabinets with Eclips3Kitchens presents another option to change their color and update the look of your kitchen without extensive costs and time associated with a full kitchen remodel. The cabinet resurfacing process involves a complete overhaul of the appearance of your cabinetry, including sanding down the existing surfaces to create a smooth base for the new color application.
Whether you’re aiming for a bold new hue or a subtle change, resurfacing allows you to achieve a completely new look, contributing to the overall ambiance of your kitchen. Resurfacing your kitchen cabinets not only revitalizes the aesthetics of your cabinetry but also extends the lifespan of these important fixtures within your home. Resurfacing is a smart choice for those looking to upgrade their kitchen’s design and functionality without the significant cost of a remodel.
