New kitchen cabinets are often the largest investment you’ll make as a part of your kitchen remodeling project. Because of this, it’s important to make your selection carefully so they suit your design, budget, and needs. When you look at cabinet options, make sure you’re asking the right questions to keep you informed.

What to Ask When Shopping for Kitchen Cabinets

1. How Can I Maximize My Space?

If you’re replacing your cabinets, take this opportunity to reimagine your kitchen instead of gutting your existing features right away. Your current layout may not be maximizing your available storage space, such as in countertop corners or underneath kitchen islands. Talk with a cabinet specialist about your space to get more ideas for functional storage.

2. Are These Cabinets High Quality?

Cheap models will need to be replaced in a few years, which costs you more in the long run. Look for drawers that use dovetail joints and check that the interiors of cabinet doors are finished, rather than just the exterior. These are a couple of signs of high-quality workmanship.

3. Is There a Warranty?

As with any major purchase, you want to know that the product and installation are backed by your provider or remodeling contractor. Many cabinet warranties will cover defects in the product rather than damage you may cause or natural wear-and-tear. However, every warranty is unique so know the terms of yours.
