5 Signs It's Time to Upgrade Your Cabinets
At Mick-Knacks, we specialize in designing custom cabinets that fit the unique needs and style of your home. Our team brings years of expertise to every project, helping homeowners transform their kitchens, bathrooms, and other living spaces into beautiful, functional areas. If you're noticing any of the following signs with your cabinets, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Your Shelves Are Sagging or Warped
If your shelves are sagging or showing signs of warping, this is often a sign that they’re under too much stress or have been exposed to moisture. While it’s easy to overlook, sagging shelves can be a real inconvenience, making it harder to store your dishes, glassware, and kitchen essentials. The solution? Custom cabinets designed specifically to support your storage needs, have a durable design that can handle the weight of your items, and are functional long-term.
The Finish Is Missing or Fading
Over time, the finish on your cabinets can wear down, fade, or chip. Whether it’s from sunlight, moisture, or everyday use, damaged finishes can make your kitchen or bathroom feel outdated. If the wood or paint finish on your cabinets is showing significant wear, it’s time for an upgrade. Custom cabinetry not only restores the beauty of your space but also ensures your cabinets look great for years to come with high-quality finishes that are built to last.
Pet Damage
We love our pets, but sometimes they can cause unexpected damage to our furniture—especially cabinets. If your dog has chewed the corner off your cabinet, or your pet has scratched or dented the surface, it’s not just an eyesore, it can affect the function of your cabinets as well. Instead of constantly repairing or covering up the damage, consider replacing your cabinets to new, custom cabinetry designed to withstand wear and tear. With our durable materials and craftsmanship, we’ll ensure your cabinets are both pet-friendly and stylish.
Broken Hinges or Handles
Broken cabinet hardware is another sign it may be time for a cabinet upgrade. Whether it's loose hinges, broken handles, or faulty drawer slides, malfunctioning hardware can make your cabinets difficult to use. If you’re finding yourself constantly fixing or replacing parts, it might be time to invest in new, high-quality cabinets with modern, durable hardware that can withstand daily use.
Water Damage
Water damage is one of the most common and damaging problems for cabinets, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Whether it’s from spills, leaks, or high humidity, water can cause wood to warp, laminate to peel, or even mold to grow. If you’re noticing water stains, peeling finishes, or swelling in your cabinets, it's time for an upgrade. Our custom cabinets are built to resist moisture, ensuring your home stay beautiful and functional, no matter what life throws at it.
