Kitchen Cabinet Refacing

Cabinet Refacing & Replacing

Refacing vs. Refinishing

When looking to update the kitchen in your home, you may be faced with a choice between cabinet refacing or cabinet refinishing. While these two may sound similar, they are actually quite different processes. Cabinet refinishing only refers to sanding down and restaining of your existing cabinets. This simply gives your cabinets a new finish and nothing more. Where as, after a cabinet reface, your cabinets may have a different color, new cabinet doors, drawers, and knobs; all on the current cabinet frame.

Why Reface?

Cabinet refacing is a cost-effective and time-efficient option for remodeling your kitchen. If your current cabinets are still sturdy, but the finish is old and the doors are outdated, cabinet refacing may be right for you.
  • 80% of what the eyes see are your cabinet doors and drawers.
  • By refacing, you already own over 1/2 of your new cabinets.
  • Refacing installations are quick and reliable (in most cases, less than one week).
  • Refacing a kitchen requires a minimal amount of inconvenience compared to major remodeling.
  • Refaced cabinets with laminate or real wood veneer laminate are easy to maintain.
  • Choosing cabinet refacing will give you the industry’s best warranty and our huge selection of high-quality products.

Our Clients Say...

The Cabinet Refacing Process

  1. Remove your old valance above the sink and all old trim molding on the cabinets.

  2. Disconnect the sink and plumbing. We suggest if you don’t have shut-off valves at the water supply line that they are installed. You will then have a water supply in the rest of the home during the refacing process.

  3. Remove all your existing doors and drawer fronts. If you ordered a countertop, the old one is removed at this time.

  4. Inspect cabinet frames for structural soundness. If there are loose parts, they are repaired or replaced.

  5. If desired, flush out the bottoms of all wall cabinets. This will provide a smooth area for easier cleaning.

  6. Wipe down all cabinet frames with a special cleaner to remove any grease or dirt. The cabinet surfaces to be refaced are then scuff-sanded to accept the lamination.

  7. If new drawer boxes are being installed, remove the existing boxes. Replace them with new drawer boxes that have easy glide tracks which will operate smoothly and quietly. You may upgrade self-closing drawers and soft closing hinges add pull out trays even trash can pull outs etc.

  8. Laminate all exposed surfaces with either laminate or real wood veneer depending on the type of door selection. If you don’t have shut off valves, you should have them installed. You will then have a water supply in the rest of your home during the remodeling process.

  9. Attach new cabinet drawer fronts securely to your drawer boxes.

  10. Install your new cabinet doors and balance to the frame and drawer fronts.

  11. Install the new countertop, if applicable, along with the sink and faucet.

  12. Install the new matching molding where required giving the final professional finish.

  13. Wipe down and clean all cabinet surfaces of any remaining glue.

  14. Remove all debris resulting from the installation.

Investment Value

According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2018 Cost vs. Value Report.

The best home remodeling investment you can make is a minor kitchen remodel. Meaning the expected return upon resale of your home, but also consider how much more functional, attractive, and enjoyable your new kitchen will be.
