Homeowners Save Money on Kitchen Renovations with Cabinet Painting.

(Newswire.net — July 20, 2019) Calgary, Alberta —Kitchen renovations recoup more than 80% of their cost at resale, according to this Remodeling report. Homeowners that want to save money on kitchen renovations and increase the resale value of their home should consider cabinet painting.

“If your cabinets are in decent shape, but just need an upgrade, cabinet painting is the way to go,” said Chris White of New Look Cabinets and Interiors. “You can completely change the look of the kitchen at a fraction of the cost of a full cabinet replacement.”

Not only is cabinet painting a cost-effective alternative to a full replacement, it is a job that some homeowners can tackle themselves. Before doing so, they must consider >> Should I paint my own cabinets ?
