Why Might You Need to Replace Your Kitchen Cabinets?

Kitchen and Bath Depot • Dec 06, 2017

How do your current kitchen cabinets look? Every so often, it might become necessary to update the look of your cabinets. What looked great five years ago might not be so stylish now. When you’ve matched your kitchen cabinets to other elements of the room, the entire space benefits. However, the presence of water and steam can cause your cabinets to wear down more quickly than you would like. Why might you need to replace your kitchen cabinets? Let’s find out.

Excessive Moisture Damage

Are your cabinets made of wood? Is there anything else in your kitchen made of wood? Wood is easy prey for moisture damage. For instance, you might discover a sudden explosion of mold and mildew growth, or other visible concerns such as warping, bubbling, and discoloration.

Mold and Mildew

How do your current kitchen cabinets look?

Water and steam aren’t the only problems you’ll have to worry about in your kitchen. Eventually, mold and mildew could start growing in there, especially if you’re not keen on cleaning parts of your kitchen in a timely fashion. If you catch it early enough, you can eliminate mold and keep mildew at bay. Even so, these infestations often lurk somewhere out of sight, where they don’t become obvious problems until it’s far too late. Look for any possible sources of leaks in your cabinets, as leaks can threaten the stability and integrity of your cabinets.

Structural Integrity Issues

Another critical reason to replace your kitchen cabinets is that they’ve become noticeably worn down. Structural integrity issues can be a significant indication that something has gone wrong, and you shouldn’t ignore it. If the walls of the cabinets feel too squishy, or soft, then it’s time to upgrade. Your kitchen cabinets shouldn’t feel the way that they do, and some simple repairs won’t be enough to fix them.

They’re No Longer Functional

Maybe the primary reason you want to change your kitchen cabinets is that they just don’t work anymore. Or, when they were first installed, you were over the moon about how they looked, but now the bloom has fallen off the rose. If they always fall off their hinges, have become a pain to use, or are causing you undue frustration, it might just be another sign you need to replace them.
