What Is Kitchen Cabinet Refacing?
Cabinet refacing is a budget-friendly alternative to cabinet replacement. You can get the look of new cabinets for a fraction of the price.
The Cabinet Refacing Process
Here’s a quick walkthrough of how cabinet refacing works. Our installation team will:
- Remove the cabinet doors, hardware, and/or drawer fronts from your cabinetry, leaving the existing cabinet boxes in place.
- Sand your cabinet boxes and apply a solid wood veneer to give your cabinet boxes a new look without removing them.
- Install new doors, complete with upgraded high-quality cabinet hardware and one of our custom knob options.
When you choose Remodel USA for your cabinet refacing project, you can pick from our variety of custom finishes and cabinet door styles. Combined with the hardware options, the ways to customize your new cabinets are endless.
Pros and Cons of Refacing Kitchen Cabinets
Why do kitchen refacing when replacement is an option? Let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of this home improvement project:
Pros of Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
- Budget-friendly: Refacing costs less than a full cabinet replacement in most situations.
- Quick turnaround time: Refacing is a less intrusive project than replacement, meaning you can get back into your new kitchen sooner.
- Eco-friendly: Keeping your existing cabinet boxes means less material waste than replacing them.
Cons of Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
- Limited changes: Since refacing leaves the existing cabinet boxes intact, you can’t change the kitchen layout or functionality of your cabinets with refacing or refinishing as much as with a replacement.
- Requires professional installation: Refacing takes specialized skills and knowledge and isn’t suitable for DIY.
Refacing vs. Replacement: Which Is Right for You?
Just like refacing, cabinet replacement has its pros and cons. There are a few factors you should consider when choosing which project is best for your kitchen.
Customization
Kitchen cabinet refacing offers many custom options like cabinet color and door style. However, if you would prefer a different layout for your cabinets, it may be best to replace the cabinet boxes.
Budget
As with any home improvement project, it’s always best to stay within your budget when you update your cabinetry. Refacing often costs a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Time
It’s easy to forget about how long a remodeling project can take. Refacing usually takes as little as two days, while a replacement can take longer. As you plan your kitchen remodeling project, consider how long you’re willing to be unable to use your kitchen.
Cabinet Box Condition
While refacing is a great way to save money and get the look of brand-new cabinetry, it isn’t a fix for damage or wear. Refacing only works if your cabinet boxes still have years of life left in them. If yours are damaged or worn from use, it’s probably best to replace them completely.
Custom Cabinet Refacing Options
Giving your kitchen a facelift is an exciting project with plenty of ways to customize. Each homeowner has a distinct style, and their kitchen design should match it. Customize your cabinet refacing project with the following:
- Door styles: Choose from classic shaker-style cabinet doors or a more modern design.
- Finishes: In addition to a wide range of colors, you can give your cabinets a gloss or matte finish.
- Hardware: Update your new cabinet doors with custom hardware designs and materials like brushed steel, brass, and more.
- Accents: Put the finishing touch on your kitchen remodel with an eye-catching detail like crown molding.
