Salt Lake City homes and their cabinets
Salt Lake City's median home was built in 1965. 65% of homes are from before 1980, 12% from 1980–1999 and 22% from 2000 or later; 46% are owner-occupied.
What that means for your kitchen
Lead-safe prep
Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, and Utah regulates paid work that disturbs paint in those homes. If your cabinets have old paint, tell us your home's age up front.
Layers of old paint
Cabinets in older homes have often been painted more than once. Brandon will look at their condition to decide what prep they need before a new finish.
Keep the character
Original wood cabinetry can be restained to bring back its warmth, or painted in a period-friendly color while keeping the original doors.
