Before you tear out your old cupboards and drawers, read our 5 tips on how you can reduce the cost of kitchen cupboards.
- Consider DIY demo
If you’ve decided to install new cabinets, you’ll need to remove the old cabinets and drawers. Hiring a contractor to install new cabinets usually includes a demolition fee.
They know you saw these house flipping shows and wished you could join them in demonstrating the kitchen. Now you can, and all it takes is patience and care not to tear down a load-bearing wall.
You can save anywhere from $ 300 to $ 500 by handing the demolition down yourself. Remember that you also have to pay for the disposal of your old cupboards.
- Give your cabinets a fresh coat of paint
Yes, you can pull out and paint your cabinets, but why should you?
Hiring a professional to repaint is an inexpensive way to update cabinets when they are in good condition. Most professionals remove the doors and fittings first. They will paint the cabinet frames there and paint everything else in their shop.
You get beautifully finished cabinets without the clutter.
- Doors and drawers
If your cabinets are still in good bones, consider redesigning the cabinet. What are good bones?
If your cabinets have a solid plywood or MDF structure, they have good bones. The doors and drawers don’t hang up every time you try to open and close them. They also have solid wood frames and side walls.
Reworking will replace the sides and doors of the drawers while keeping the bones intact. Not only are you saving money, you’re also the only one who needs to know that you don’t have brand new cabinets installed.
- Do you think you can’t afford custom cabinets?
If you have a limited budget, you can easily assume that you cannot afford it custom furniture.
Since they are fully custom made, you may have a number of options that allow you to adjust the price to your budget and the fees of the big box stores.
Consult a custom cabinet store before ordering pre-made cabinets. They will come out and go through your options and make you an offer.
You can also implement our next tip: open shelves.
- The cost savings with open shelves
You can also save money by choosing an open shelf plan. It also offers flexibility.
Open shelves are an excellent intermediate option if you want closed cabinets one day, but not that day. Install this lower cost option now and upgrade later when you can afford it.
And a bonus tip:
- Consider DIY cabinets
RTA cabinets are another great way to save a few. If you want to assemble cabinets for a weekend, it’s worth it. Call friends, order pizza, and have fun putting your cabinets together.
And don’t be fooled, RTA (Ready To Assemble) cabinets have come a long way. Their quality can be as good as custom, for a lot less.
