Kitchen cabinets refacing is another great option to update your kitchen. Many homeowners do like the current layout of their kitchens and don’t really want to go to the trouble of replacing all of their cabinetry. Instead, they keep the basic outline of the cabinetry but do something to renew them and make them fit into the design – something called cabinet refacing. This allows you to keep your kitchen intact and still get a new appearance that feels fresh. It is a process that takes some time, but generally doesn’t cost as much of your budget.
In some cases, kitchen cabinets refacing is going to give you exactly what you want better than new cabinetry could. You already have set places and spaces for your cookware, so you can keep that same design. Resurfacing just gives you a choice to replace about 75% of what everyone sees in your kitchen – the doors of your cabinet.
Kitchen cabinets refacing is still something that needs to be handled by professionals, but you get a lot of input into what you want.
When you get a new kitchen and decide whether you are going to reface your cabinets or get new ones, there are a few things you need to consider. Each option offers you quite a bit, so you aren’t really leaving too much behind.
With both a new kitchen cabinet system and by refacing your kitchen cabinets, you will get a new look to your doors, drawers fronts, drawer boxes, countertops, hardware, veneers, valances, molding, and exterior shelves. The benefits of refacing are that you do not need to rip out or do construction, permits aren’t required, and you save up to 50% of the total cost.
If you have well built cabinets that you have taken care of over the years, there is no reason that every one of your cabinets can’t be refaced. You can combine it with additional cabinetry that is custom built if you are looking for new pieces. If you have a few cabinets that aren’t holding up as well, you can have them replaced and get the rest of your cabinets refaced, but make sure you work with a knowledgeable company that has experience in handling jobs of this kind so that everything comes out uniform.
If you go with a high quality refacing company and you take proper care of your cabinets, they can be permanent. You will have to ensure that the installation process goes smoothly and that all materials are high quality.
