Cabinet Refacing – A Quick Fix for Your Kitchen or Bath

Cabinet refacing basically gives your cabinetry a face lift and can make your kitchen or bath feel like new. If your existing cabinets are structurally sound and their layout is functional then, instead of all new cabinets, you can simply replace the doors, drawer fronts, and decorative hardware with a new style, creating a whole new look.

You can even change your cabinets from painted to stained wood and vice versa by applying a thin veneer to the exposed cabinet parts such as the face frames. Finish options include paint, wood veneer, laminate and thermofoil.

Refacing is a great alternative to a full blown kitchen or bath remodel because it is much quicker, more affordable and less disruptive. A cabinet refacing project can take as little as 2 to 4 days depending on the size of your kitchen or bath, instead of weeks if you order new cabinets. Refacing can also cost up to a third less than new cabinets and creates much less mess.

Besides refacing the doors, drawers and cabinet boxes you can also upgrade door hinges and drawer guides as well as add decorative pulls and knobs. You may choose to add new accessories such as corner lazy susans and pullout shelves. And if you replace your countertops you really have created a whole new space at a fraction of the cost. Whether you choose to do it yourself or rely on a professional, refacing can be a very smart solution.
