Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
Cabinets are the budget. They typically run a third of the total, which is why the first real decision is reface, new boxes, or custom - and why a quote that does not say which is not a quote.
Moving the sink or range means moving supply, drain and vent. A drain needs its fall, so relocating a sink across the room is a floor-system question, not a cosmetic one.
