Along with providing storage space, kitchen cabinets help bring your personal style to one of the most important areas in your home. Over time, however, cabinets lose their strength and pristine appearance. To keep your kitchen in top-notch condition, call home improvement specialists for cabinet installation when you notice any of the signs below. 

How to Tell If Your Cabinets Need Replacement

1. Lasting Odors 

Food particles and pests can easily get stuck in the spaces under or behind your cabinets. When you can’t reach these areas or forget to regularly clean them, you’ll eventually notice an odor. If the smell doesn’t go away no matter how frequently you clean the cabinets, it’s usually best to swap them for new ones. 

2. Severe Damage 

Some forms of cabinet damage are beyond repair. For example, if your cabinet walls feel soft when you push them, they’re likely nearing the end of their lifespan and will fall apart soon.

Similarly, if your cabinets have been exposed to water, keep an eye out for warping. A warped cabinet will often fail to open and close properly. While these forms of damage can sometimes be repaired, they usually signal the need for replacement. Call a cabinet installation specialist to help you determine what to do. 

3. Mold

Mold thrives in moist, humid conditions. Cooking and washing dishes creates additional humidity in the air, and dishwashers and refrigerators can leak. Because of these factors, your kitchen is one of the most mold-prone areas in your home. When mold builds up in your cabinets, it can compromise their structural integrity, necessitating replacement.
