Cabinet Refacing

If looking for a way to revitalize the cabinets in your home, a cabinet refacing project is key. Through cabinet refacing, you will update the look and style of your cabinets without having to completely replace them.

For cabinet refacing, you or a contractor will use veneer to cover the exposed faces of the frames, and door panels to cover the end panels. Then, new doors, drawer fronts and moldings must be added, while lastly, new hardware is installed. Through cabinet refacing, an entire room's look can change.

For example, a dark kitchen with heavily stained cabinets can be transformed into an airy room through the process of cabinet refacing. In addition, if a person chooses to do the cabinet refacing without hiring additional help, he can save up to one-third the amount that would be spent on a professional doing the same job.
