While some cabinets can last decades, the ones in your kitchen may not last as long because they are exposed to water, steam, and other factors on a daily basis. If your kitchen cabinets show signs of wear and tear, you might think about resurfacing them. However, resurfacing may cost more and be a bigger hassle than replacing them altogether. Here’s why replacement could be the better option to consider.

Why Should You Replace Your Kitchen Cabinets?

1. There Is Significant Mold

Mold typically results from a water leak and will continue to grow if it’s not addressed. It can ruin your kitchen cabinets and negatively affect air quality as well as your health. If mold is released into the air, you may experience difficulty breathing, sneezing, a skin rash, or other issues. If you detect large areas of mold on your cabinets, it’s time to replace them.

2. You Don’t Like Your Kitchen’s Layout

Even if your cabinets are in good condition, it might be necessary to replace them if you’re not satisfied with the overall layout of your kitchen. If you think it would be easier to cook and do other tasks if the cabinets were in another location, it may make sense to tear them out and install new ones.

3. There Is Water Damage

Kitchen cabinets are susceptible to water damage because they are made from wood. If your cabinets have trouble opening and closing, the wood has darkened, or there is bubbling on the inside or outside, it indicates that they have been ruined by water, leading to the need for replacement.
