			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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. <a title="Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland | Washington DC " href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">Cabinet refacing</a> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a title="Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland | Washington DC | Northern Virginia" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">cabinet refacing</a>; well, if you tell them, of course.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are thinking about remodeling your kitchen, you should consider the benefits of <a title="Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland " href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">cabinet refacing</a> over replacement. Refacing can give you the new look you want without breaking your budget. It can also keep your costs in check without sacrificing quality.</p>
<p>This method is possible when the existing cabinets are structurally sound. Most of the time it is done with the cabinet boxes in place, creating a new look to bring them up to date. It can also be done in conjunction with adding or relocating cabinets. By re-using the existing cabinet boxes, you will save thousands of dollars off your remodeling bill.</p>
<p>Refacing your cabinets will also save you time on your remodeling project. When new cabinets are ordered, it usually takes several weeks for them to be delivered. With cabinet refacing, the project is typically completed just a few days.</p>
<p>The procedure used in refacing is simple. The doors and drawer fronts are removed and discarded. Next, the exterior surfaces of the existing cabinets are given a new wood veneer. New matching doors and drawer fronts are installed, including hinges and handles. In a short amount of time, your kitchen looks brand new.</p>
<p>When choosing a company to do your <a title=" Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland " href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">cabinet refacing</a>, there are several things you need to take into consideration. A reputable company will be happy to answer all of your questions.</p>
<p>Be sure that your refacing company uses only genuine hardwood veneers for the refacing and solid hardwoods for the doors. Doors made from particleboard, industrial grade wood or RTF, which is simply heat shrink vinyl over particleboard, will not last. They can change colors or curl up from heat and moisture. Veneers made from laminate can come apart, or delaminate.</p>
<p>Another thing to ask is how the refacing will be applied. Many companies glue the veneers to the existing cabinets. Due to current environmental regulations, these glues are water soluble and can dissolve with time and/or humidity. A quality installation will secure prefinished hardwoods with hidden nails giving you long-lasting beauty.</p>
<p>Cabinet refacing can be the perfect solution to your kitchen remodeling needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Cabinet Resurfacing Horror Story<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you would like a beautiful new kitchen at 1/3 of the cost of a <a title=" Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland " href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">kitchen remodel</a>, look no further than Kitchen Magic, certified kitchen designers. Kitchen Magic, with over 25 years of service, will reface your kitchen cabinets with real wood finish. They use genuine oak, cherry, birch, and many other fine woods on your cabinet boxes, drawers, and doors. Kitchen Magic will also install new hardware, including hinges, knobs, and drawer pulls.</p>
<p><strong>What is Refacing?</strong></p>
<p>Kitchen Magic removes your old drawer fronts and cabinet doors. They cover the cabinet box with wooden veneer of your choice. Then, new cabinets and drawers are constructed from real hard wood and installed in your kitchen.</p>
<p><strong>How is it Applied?</strong></p>
<p>Kitchen Magic uses hidden nails, not adhesive like other manufacturers.</p>
<p><strong>Is there a Design Fee?</strong></p>
<p><a title=" Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland | Washington DC | Northern Virginia" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">Kitchen Magic</a> does not charge any extra fees to design your new kitchen. They listen to what the customer wants, and together they choose a design that works best for the homeowner.</p>
<p>In addition to the remarkable craftsmanship, Kitchen Magic also provides plumbing and electrical services. They are able to disconnect and reconnect garbage disposals, dishwashers, sinks, and faucets. They can also install under-cabinet lighting if you wish. If you ask for it, they will deliver.</p>
<p>Kitchen Magic typically completes the entire remodel job within four days. This is considerably less time than an entire kitchen cabinet remodel would take, and much less mess and headache for the homeowner. This company can also transform your current cabinets in any way you like. They can turn cabinets into drawers, extend cabinets to the ceiling, add custom cabinets, cut down cabinets, install under-cabinet lighting, and even remove interior walls. All of this can be done for considerably less than a complete cabinet remodel, leaving extra money in the budget for that new refrigerator.</p>
<p>Kitchen Magic can be trusted to take your current cabinets and turn them into a beautiful centerpiece in your kitchen. Trust their 25 year reputation. Kitchen Magic can get the job done.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <a title="kKtchen remodel |  Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland | Washington DC | Northern Virginia" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">kitchen remodel</a> can be overwhelming and costly. Other options are available to update your home without the cost and labor involved in a full demolition and rebuild of cabinetry. Simply refinishing or refacing the cabinets, doors and drawer fronts may be cost effective solutions that will result in a less expensive yet still impressive upgrade.</p>
<p>Painting or refinishing cabinet doors is the simplest option. If the cabinets are in good condition and the style is not too out dated, then painting or staining them can help to give a fresh and updated look for the whole kitchen. Keep in mind that refinishing the cabinets will not enhance the structure of the cabinet in any way; it is simply a cosmetic fix. If not done well, the paint may look uneven and stains or water damage on the wood may show through the new finish. Also, if the original cabinetry is made of thin veneer or imitation wood then painting or staining may not be a viable option at all.</p>
<p>Refacing the cabinets would involve applying a new veneer on the cabinet box itself as well as adding new doors and drawer fronts. The materials can match any style, and may be made of a laminate product or high quality hard woods. To complete the makeover new hinges and handles may also be added. Some refacing companies may also be able to modify the original design of the cabinetry to add drawers, cabinets, extra shelves, or extend the cabinets for added space.</p>
<p>There are few cons to <a title="Refacing Cabinets | | Maryland | Washington DC | Northern Virginia" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">refacing cabinets</a> and any downsides to this type of upgrade generally depend on the quality of the materials and the installation procedures used. If lesser quality materials are used, or if the new surface is simply glued to the original, the update may not last and the new veneers may peel off requiring another remodel in the future. However, if high quality hardwoods are permanently affixed with nails then refacing the cabinets can provide the look of a full kitchen remodel at a dramatically reduced cost.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Updating the look of a kitchen can be an expensive process that is also time consuming. However, there are ways around this that can be both cost-effective and less intrusive. One of these methods includes <a title="Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland | Washington DC | Northern Virginia" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">cabinet refacing</a>. This process is conducted by refacing cabinets using wooden veneers. New doors &amp; handles are also added to match the veneers and renovate the look of your kitchen at a affordable price. The doors are made of high-quality hardwood and are customized to your style preferences. Top-quality refacing companies do not use furniture core, medium density fiberboard, particleboard, or industrial grade wood in their work. Refacing companies can also move cabinets, extend cabinets to ceilings, install roll-out shelves, or replace drawers. These improvements can update your kitchen and save you thousands of dollars in renovations.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many other companies only glue low-quality materials onto older surfaces. Companies, such as Kitchen Magic Refacers, only employ the use of tough woods such as oak, birch, cherry, and other hardwoods to provide a stylish decor that is coupled with long-lasting quality. Refacing cabinets also improves overall cabinet durability that many homeowners demand. The wooden veneers are permanently secured using hidden nails that are do not decrease the beauty of the cabinets.</p>
<p>Many homeowners often choose to refinish or paint cabinets that have become outdated. This is not the best option due to the high likelihood that paint can peel or chip off with wear. Properly preparing wood to be painted can eventually cost just as much as refacing old cabinets. Additionally, painting cabinets can be a long process that consumes time. Refinishing offers the disadvantage of allowing stains to show through the new finish and may not be the best choice when updating cabinets.</p>
<p>The ultimate advantage to refacing your <a title=" Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland | Washington DC | Northern Virginia" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">kitchen cabinets</a>, opposed to purchasing cabinets, is the cost. It is possible to spend up to $35,000 to upgrade to builder-grade cabinets, while refacing cabinets will only cost about 1/3 of that. In addition, refacing your kitchen can be completed in under 4 days and will leave you with a kitchen that looks brand new.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is easy to see why your kitchen is the heart of your home. After all, you begin each day with breakfast there, perhaps with your family or with a solitary cup of coffee. The kitchen is where you eat dinner and where you and your family pass through on your way to go to work or school. It also is the most expensive part of your home to update, thanks to the expensive appliances and cabinets, which can cost you several thousand dollars to replace.</p>
<p>Feeling a little annoyed because your kitchen cabinets are still in great shape, but are in an ugly color or unattractive finish that belongs in another decade? Well, with cabinet refacing, you can still benefit from taking such great care of your kitchen cabinets by only having them refaced, instead of replacing them. Refacing your kitchen cabinets with <a title="Kitchen Magic |  Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland | Washington DC | Northern Virginia" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">Kitchen Magic</a> costs much less than replacing your kitchen cabinets, and takes much less time, because only the doors and drawer fronts are removed and replaced with new, stylish replacements.</p>
<p>Your kitchen will look like you had your kitchen cabinets replaced with refacing, since everything visible, from the hardware and hinges to the doors and fine hardwood doors are all brand new and made to your own personal specifications. Despite costing so much less than new cabinets, your <a title=" Cabinet Refacing | Kitchen remodeling | Maryland | Washington DC | Northern Virginia" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">refaced cabinets</a> will provide a sleek high-end feel to your kitchen, thanks to Kitchen Magic&#8217;s use of high quality materials, such as hidden nails, which keep your cabinets secure for years to come.</p>

Any and all of these upgrades will make the heart of your home that much more enjoyable for you and your family, while adding to the value of your home. When it is time to sell, you will be able to reap your investment and then some!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a title=" Kitchen and bathroom remodels | Cabinet Refacing" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">Kitchen and bathroom remodels</a> usually come with new cabinets, but there are other options for those on a tight budget or just prefer not to go through the process of tearing out and replacing existing cabinets. Cabinet refacing is one option for those with cabinets that are in good shape to begin with, but the question will always be, how to go about refacing existing cabinets. The first thing to consider when choosing to reface any cabinet is whether or not simply painting or re-staining will satisfy the needs of the decor. When that option has been ruled out, the next step is to consider a simple overhaul of the exterior of the cabinets in place. This procedure entails removing the doors, hinges and drawers and then applying a veneer to the face of the cabinet box. While new cabinet refacing is taking place, the doors will be replaced to match the veneer that has gone up as well as new drawer fronts, hinges and handles. Even though the same cabinet box is still in place the make over will give the appearance of an entire new set of cabinets. The cost of <a title="Cabinet Refacing May Be The Way To Go" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">cabinet refacing</a> makes this a much more affordable type of remodel than could have been realized by replacing the entire set of cabinets. As a rule, cabinet refacing will cost about a third of what it would take to replace cabinets.</p>
<p> When it is time to consider updating the look of a kitchen or bathroom, speaking with a professional is always advisable. Those trained in procedures for cabinet refacing will be able to make recommendations and provide referrals that will give the home owner an up close look at work that they have completed. The more information that a home owner can get about cabinet refacing or any other home improvement project the better, and there is good information to be found here www.kitchenmagic.net When trying to decide the best way to proceed with remodeling projects for the kitchen or bathroom convenience matters and cabinet refacing may be the right way to go.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your kitchen is tired and in need of help, but cost is a factor, then maybe refinishing is an option for you. But, there can be some pitfalls to look out for as well.</p>
<p><strong>The Pros</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes, money is just tight. But, if you budget well, refinishing can be a great option for renewing the look of your kitchen cabinets. Nicks and dings are easily fixed with wood putty and some sand paper. A good quality primer / sealer will help the new color coat of paint adhere well enough to last for years if taken care of.</p>
<p>The style is all up to you. When <a title="Refinishing Kitchen Cabinets, Cabinet Refacing, Maryland" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">refinishing your cabinets</a>, you get to call all the shots as far as color and style. You can add cabinets or trim before painting and just paint them at the same time to change the layout and look all at once.</p>
<p>If you opt to replace your cabinets, there will inevitably be waiting periods for the cabinets, counter tops, and any repairs that need to be done to the walls when the old units are removed. <a title="Cabinet Refacing, Kitchen Remodeling, Washington DC" href="http://www.kitchenmagic.net/" target="_blank">Cabinet Refacing</a> can save a lot of those headaches and buy you more time before needing to go all the way with a kitchen remodel.</p>
<p><strong>Some Cons</strong></p>
<p>Particle board cabinets don’t lend themselves well to painting. They tend to swell up and become distorted when any liquid (even paint) is added to them. Also, the original cabinets might be too damaged to be able to repair them without spending too much money and time.</p>
<p>There is no set rule, but painted cabinets tend to show wear faster than non-painted cabinets. Painted cabinets that were done by the average homeowner will need to be repainted even sooner. This is good to keep in mind if you do have the money to replace them now. Sometimes the long term cost savings beats the short term.</p>
<p>If you need the job done fast, then replacing can often be done quicker if you are keeping the old layout and can re-use the old counter top. You could buy the cabinets all at once and store them in the garage until you are ready to do the job. Then, you can usually get all the old cabinets down and new ones up in a couple days.</p>
<p>There’s no right or wrong way to re-do kitchen cabinets. You just need to weigh your options and decide what best fits your needs and resources.</p>
