Your kitchen cabinets require refreshing. Perhaps they’re scratched or stained. Maybe you’re exhausted with the finish or color. But you’re not willing to take out the cabinets, tear down the walls and begin with a new kitchen, which is costly and could leave your entire kitchen in disarray!
What Is Cabinet Refacing?
Doors and drawers on cabinets tend to wear faster than the frames of cabinets. When refacing cabinets, the doors and drawers get removed while keeping the original structures in the same position. The cabinets get then covered with a new laminate of laminate or wood. The cabinets look brand new, and the doors and drawer fronts are new. The original boxes get explicitly veneered to match the cabinets.
Here Are Some Things Refacing Isn’t: The cabinets aren’t getting painted. It’s not refinishing the wood on wooden cabinets. Indeed, painting cabinets or rejuvenating wood in some kitchens using wood refinishing procedures are great options! However, refacing the cabinets using doors and veneers is the best option for your home. We have the knowledge, expertise, and a wide range of materials to make your cabinets appear brand new.
Are Renovations or Refacing the Best Option?
Take a look at these questions and decide if refacing would be the right choice for your kitchen.
Do I desire a newer style but don’t want to spend a fortune to have a complete remodel? Estimates that refacing can be 30 to 50% less costly than kitchen cabinet renovations. It gives refacing a benefit, especially if you want to change your kitchen’s look, not the functionality or size.
Do I like the current kitchen design? If your everyday layout functions effectively, there’s no need to remove cabinets for a complete remodel. Refacing can preserve the layout and improves the appearance.
Are the cabinet cabinets in good condition? We’ll check your cupboards and inform you if they have problems or damage, which suggests replacement rather than refacing is the best option. If your boxes appear strong refacing could be an alternative.
Do I want to continue cooking in my kitchen as usual during the time it’s getting modernized? Refacing requires between two and four days. Wash the kitchen every day before leaving to ensure that you have an accessible kitchen throughout the refacing process! Refacing doesn’t need demolition and won’t require moving appliances around, so you’ll be able to continue cooking while we’re at work.
Do I want to remain in the home for a while? If you’re considering moving in the next few years, painting may be a good alternative for the kitchen cabinets. However, suppose you intend to use these cabinets for a long time. In that case, refacing can provide highly durable ones for long-term use.
