Laundry Room Cabinets – Paint Or Replace in Ottawa, Ontario

Your laundry room cabinets are an integral part of the laundry room – some of the most important elements of the laundry room other than the machines themselves are stored in the cabinets, such as the soaps and other elements that are used with every wash and drying cycle.

However, at a certain point in the life of your laundry room cabinets they may well start to take on an appearance that is less than pleasant – and start to show signs of decline, so to speak.

When this time comes, it’s worth looking at the cabinets and making certain key assessments to see if they are in bad enough shape that they need to be entirely replaced, or if it would be a good idea just to give them a new paint job (or perhaps staining if that is more applicable)

Let’s now discuss your laundry room cabinets and if you should paint or replace them in Ottawa, Ontario.

Paint If : Your Cabinets Are Okay Other Than The Color

You may look at your laundry room cabinets and realize that they are genuinely in really good condition, but there’s just one problem – they just don’t look good anymore due to the paint having been faded, or perhaps just the color no longer being a good color for laundry room cabinets in your opinion.

It could be, for example, the case that you have just recently moved into your home and you look at the laundry room cabinets and recognize that the color or colors that have been chosen for the cabinets are wildly inappropriate for your own wants or needs – and so you decide to change the color rather than change the cabinets entirely.

Replace If : Your Cabinets Are Heavily Damaged

If you look at your cabinets and it becomes clear to you that they are quite damaged, you’re going to want to seriously consider if it really is going to be worth keeping the cabinets – and how much it is ultimately going to cost you to make repairs to the cabinet versus how much it would cost to entirely replace them.

If you have the knowledge on how to fix the cabinets yourself of course it is well worth doing, but if you have neither the knowledge of how to do it nor a friend who has it, it may be well worth pricing out having a professional do the repairs and seeing if it will cost you less than having the cabinets entirely replaced — that is to say if they say that the cabinets will have a good long life after they’re done with them.

Paint If : You Have Sentimental Attachment To The Cabinets

Another good time to know that you’re going to want to paint your cabinets rather than replacing them is when you find that you have some kind of sentimental attachment to the cabinets themselves.

Of course, there are many circumstances in which you would say that the cabinets have a great amount of sentimental value to you, such as if you spent time building the cabinets with a friend or loved one, or even if you had received the cabinets as a present from someone special in your heart.

When this is found to be the case then you will do whatever it takes to keep the cabinets looking their best whether they just need to be painted or even if you need to get someone professional to do some repairs to them as well as painting them – they are important to you and so you will take good care of them.

Replace If : You Are Looking To Sell

Lastly, remember that if you are looking to sell your home and your cabinets aren’t looking their best, it’s well worth examining them and figuring out if a paint job would be enough to get your home value up a bit or if it would be replacing them entirely that would be the better thing to increase the selling value of your home.
