Time and money can quickly get away from you when remodeling your home. If your kitchen is involved in your project you may want to seek another option to completely tearing apart the whole room. Cabinet refacing may be just the alternative you are looking for. Cutting a huge chunk out of the time and the bill that usually comes along with new cabinets can also cut down on your stress and leave you with extra funds for other parts of your project.
When you have completely new cabinets put in, you can face months of planning and construction. Refacing is usually handled in a matter of days, at a cost of about one-third what a custom built kitchen can run.
You have a range of options. There are various doors, drawers, and hardware to choose from. Rearranging and resizing of your existing pieces is also available. Additions are another option, as well as converting your doors to drawers. Only you, and the people you let in on your secret, will know that they are not completely brand new. Possibilities wait with the cabinetry that you already own!
To begin the process, the doors and drawer fronts are removed. Next the face frames have a veneer applied to match them to the new finish you have chosen. Drawers and doors made of genuine hardwoods, not press board or other inferior products, is the best way to go. Not only does the quality of using real wood stand out, it will be beautiful much, much longer. These are installed complete with new hinges, pulls, and knobs.
Another possibility to consider is adding under cabinet lighting. You will be amazed how much brighter and friendlier the extra light can make your workspace.
A shiny new kitchen is a great way to add value to your house and make it feel more like a home. Your friends and family will be amazed to learn that you skipped the messy new construction and opted for cabinet refacing; well, if you tell them, of course.
