How does it work? The only parts that are replaced are the cabinet doors and drawer fronts. By refacing, you save at least 1/3 of the costs of new kitchen cabinets. There are two ways to reface cabinets. Many companies use glue to attach wood veneer or laminate to the existing cabinets. The only thing to watch for is that the glue used is probably water based. The better way is to permanently adhere the veneers with hidden nails for a longer lasting construction. The cabinets themselves are completely resurfaced to match whatever new doors and drawers you choose. With the addition of all new hardware and hinges, you end up with brand new cabinets in record time and a lot less mess. If you are satisfied with the basic layout of your kitchen, this is the way to go.

Even if you want to make some changes to the layout of your kitchen, refacing the cabinetry you don’t need to change makes sense. Add some cabinets and reface some others; then, you can put more money into the rest of the remodel. When everything is complete, you have a brand new, totally remodeled and refaced kitchen, blending the old with the new in a seamless design. And the best part, it is cost efficient and only takes a few weeks rather than months of chaos!

Two other minuses when it comes to replacement include the time lost during deconstruction and installation phases – days turn into weeks and weeks into months rather easily – and the condition of the kitchen area during the entire replacement itinerary. A contractor can tie up the place for longer than anyone estimates. The combination of unsightly cabinetless spaces, floor and wall damage, wood and dust, and the general inconvenience of the situation prove to be undesirable aspects very quickly. Small children also need to be watched; kids venture into work areas out of general curiosity.

The alternative is to reface — that is, to refurbish or upgrade. Wood finish stains and partial replacement of materials can prove as aesthetically beautiful as a complete replacement for twice the money. Cabinet refacing can include any modifications to make cabinets more attractive and more practical with different accessories. Overall durability is improved and the results will last for years. Cabinets constructed from solid wood — as seen in older homes — rather than cheaper composited materials benefit the most from refacing. More money is saved because peripheral areas — counters, ceilings, other fixtures — are less affected or not at all.

The time saved due to a reface is also notable. Most technicians can complete the assignment in one week, maybe two. That’s a maximum. If going green is a concern, much less material disposal also weighs in. Less waste is produced, and metal and wood left over can be recycled. Stains and paints are used only as required, and should be charged only for quantities used. Most installers frown upon the waste of expensive colors, as the saying goes.

In all, not only does refacing kitchen cabinets save a great deal of money, it also saves time and is more eco-friendly and time-efficient. The money saved will better serve a nice family vacation or weeklong getaway.
