Provo homes and their cabinets
Census data shows a median build year of 1983 in Provo, with 46% of homes built before 1980 and only 22% built since 2000. About 39% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so roughly six in ten are rentals.
What that means for your kitchen
Rental turnovers
If you own a rental, refinishing can be scheduled between tenants. A durable, wipeable painted finish in a neutral color tends to suit rental kitchens well.
1970s and 1980s cabinets
Many older Provo kitchens have solid-wood or oak cabinets with a worn finish. If the boxes are solid, they're good candidates for paint or a fresh stain.
Pre-1978 homes
Nearly half of Provo's homes are older than 1980. If your cabinets were painted before 1978, let us know so the old paint is handled with lead-safe practices.
