Refacing your cabinets is a simple way to transform the appearance of your kitchen without a full-on remodeling. It focuses the work on only your cabinet doors to upgrade their design and utility in a short amount of time. Here’s some information about this type of remodeling work to help you decide whether it’s for you.

What You Should Know About Cabinet Refacing

What is kitchen cabinet refacing?

When you hire a contractor to reface your kitchen cabinets, they leave your original cabinet boxes intact, focusing only on updating the doors, drawer fronts, and parts including hinges and moldings. All of these old components are removed and replaced with new styles of your choosing.

Is it a substitute for replacing cabinets?

If you don’t want to undergo a major kitchen renovation but still want to give the space a makeover, refacing your cabinets can do just that. New cabinet doors and drawers can take your kitchen from traditional to modern, or let you view the contents of your cabinets to improve the functionality of your kitchen. However, if your remodeling contractor discovers a structural issue with your cabinets, such as mold or rotting wood, they might suggest replacing the cabinetry entirely rather than just the doors.

How long does the project take to complete?

Cabinet refacing is a less time-consuming project than a standard remodel. Jobs depend on the size of your kitchen and the availability of your preferred cabinet doors and pulls, but are generally completed in under a week.

What does the refacing process include?

Once you decide to reface your cabinets, your contractor will present you with a range of styles to consider. In addition to the door design, you’ll need to select a color and type of material, such as hardwood or frosted glass. Once you’ve established that, your contractor will measure the cabinets to place your custom order.
