When Is It Time to Repair or Upgrade Your Kitchen?

It may be time to consider kitchen repairs or upgrades when:

Cabinet doors or drawers no longer close properly

Hardware feels loose, worn, or outdated

Lighting is insufficient or poorly placed

Fixtures show signs of wear or frequent leaks

Surfaces or finishes look tired or damaged

You want the kitchen to feel more functional without a full remodel
