Should I wrap my kitchen cabinets myself or hire a pro?

DIY makes sense if you're handy, have a free weekend, and want the lowest cost. Hiring a pro makes sense if you want a flawless, fast result with no hassle. If your cabinets are damaged or you want a new layout, wrapping may not be the right fix at all. Compare refacing and replacement first.

Is DIY cabinet wrapping hard?

The flat surfaces are beginner-friendly, but corners, edges and seams take patience and practice. Most first-timers spend a full weekend on a standard kitchen. Good prep and the right film make the biggest difference.
