Fenway Park, Trinity Church, Quincy Market, and the Boston Public Library are four things in Boston that look great just the way they are (and always have been). In fact, with a history as rich as Boston's there's a lot of stuff in town that's best left as is. Your kitchen cabinets, however, are not one of them. Doesn't matter whether your kitchen cabinets have lost their shine, or if they never had one to start with, there comes a time in every homeowner's life when they turn the corner, take in the struggling state of their kitchen cabinetry, and decide enough is enough. It's at that moment that a Boston kitchen cabinet remodeling project is in order.

Boston Kitchen Cabinet Options
Once you've decided that you're ready for new cabinetry, the next step is deciding which type of the many kitchen cabinet remodels in Boston is going to be best for you. Believe it or not, this is easier said than done. Don't forget that Boston's been around for over three hundred years, now. That makes for some pretty diverse architecture, inside and out, that includes colonial, Victorian, federalist, and modern building styles, just to name a few. Finding the right cabinetry can require a lot more than simply deciding which style you like best. It can also mean matching cabinetry to pre-existing woodwork and home designs that are a century or more old. Of course, your budget can have just as big of an influence when it comes to determining how far your Boston kitchen cabinet remodeling project can go. All that being said, here's some of the options you have to choose from.

Custom Cabinetry for Boston Kitchen Cabinet Remodels
If money is no issue, custom cabinetry is far and away your best choice. Whether you live in a piece of history in town or out in Greater Boston in a newly built home, custom cabinetry makes the best use of the space allotted while at the same time delivering a beautiful product to the homeowner. Add to that the rich woodworking traditions that in many cases have been passed down for generations in the New England area, and you've got yourself a cabinetry solution that can't be beat. Plan for some sticker shock with custom made cabinetry, however.

$30,000 for a set of kitchen cabinets isn't unrealistic in Boston's market, and double that isn't unheard of. Of course, you'll be hiring a craftsman who will evaluate your kitchen, take measurements, and custom design a set of kitchen cabinets that will perfectly compliment the space and your kitchen's overall design. In addition to that you'll also get cabinets made from the highest quality wood of your choosing, finished in any style you can imagine, and with expert installation included. With that kind of service and workmanship, it begins to be clear why going custom is worth every penny, even if it takes a lot of them to pay the bill.

Kitchen Cabinet Remodeling in Boston with Semi Stock and Stock Cabinetry
You don't have to be as quick as Paul Revere on his midnight ride to figure out that not everybody in Greater Boston can afford to shell out that kind of money for kitchen cabinets. Fortunately for the rest of you, there are some less painful options out there to choose from. Semi stock cabinetry refers to cabinetry that you get to custom design, but which is manufactured in a factory setting by a large supplier, thereby cutting costs significantly. Stock cabinetry refers to pre-made cabinets commonly sold at big box stores and other discount suppliers. You can choose from a number of different sizes and styles, but that's about it. Other than that, you get what you see on display. However, it's precisely because there are limited options that they can be pre-manufactured at such a low cost to you.

Kitchen Refacing, an Alternative to Kitchen Cabinet Remodels in Boston
While none of the structures mentioned in the opening list of some of the most notable pieces of Boston architecture should ever be torn down and replaced, it would be foolish to think that they've never received a few touch ups and maintenance here and there. Fenway Park, for example, has undergone quite a few remodels and repairs over the years in order to keep it looking up to snuff. Sometimes a little face lift is all your kitchen cabinets need, as well. If you've got relatively nice kitchen cabinets that have faded, lost their varnish, been covered in paint, or suffer some other sort of aesthetic problems, refacing might be an excellent option. Refacing refers to the process of stripping your cabinets down to the wood, and then applying new coats of stain and varnish. It's not the cheapest option, usually running in the $5000-$10,000 range, but compared to custom and a lot of semi-stock cabinetry, it's still cheaper than buying an entirely new set.

Boston Kitchen Cabinet Remodeling and Larger Kitchen Remodels
We'll warn you right now, once you start making significant, even costly upgrades, it can be tough to stop. Just ask George Steinbrenner. And while Bostonians can rest easy knowing the Yankees can't always buy their way past the AL Championship game, with kitchen cabinetry and kitchen remodeling, it often makes sense to up your payroll, so to speak. Tearing out and replacing cabinets is the perfect opportunity to perform other improvements. Things like installing new countertops, new flooring, new appliances, and even slapping on a fresh new color of paint, are all easier when your cabinets are removed or being installed. That being the case, you might want to think about whether it's the right time to go beyond kitchen cabinets and give your entire kitchen a makeover. Either way, when it comes to improving the looks of your kitchen, a new Boston kitchen cabinet remodeling job is well worth the money and guaranteed to be a kitchen upgrade you'll enjoy for years to come.
