Bountiful homes and their cabinets
Bountiful's median home was built in 1973. 63% of homes predate 1980, 24% are from 1980–1999 and just 13% are from 2000 or later; 71% are owner-occupied.
What that means for your kitchen
Pre-1978 paint
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. If your cabinets were painted decades ago, tell us your home's age so the work can be planned with lead-safe practices.
Solid wood worth saving
Older cabinets are often solid wood, and many are better built than today's builder-grade boxes. Refinishing keeps them.
Updating the look
A modern color and new hardware can make a 1970s kitchen feel current without changing the layout.
