The Pros and Cons of Cabinet Refacing
Is your kitchen looking tired and outdated? If you are planning a kitchen renovation, cabinet refacing is an affordable option that might suit your budget without breaking the bank. When doing a kitchen remodel, no other element has a more significant impact than the cabinetry. Choosing to reface the existing cabinet boxes and keep the current layout or go with a completely new kitchen design with new custom cabinets is a significant decision to make. Reborn Cabinets can help you transform your home with a budget-friendly makeover that will look great and save you money.
Our Signature® Cabinet Refacing is a budget-friendly service designed to provide homeowners with their dream kitchen cabinetry at a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen remodel. Here’s what you need to know about The Ultimate Remodeling Experience® we have to offer.
Cabinet Refacing Explained
Reborn Cabinets is a pioneer in cabinet refacing. Our experienced team provides a high-quality process, ensuring that every cabinet refacing project is 100% custom. The process is straightforward. Our installers will focus on renovating your existing kitchen cabinets (provided they are in good condition) and adding new hardware, cabinet doors, and wood veneers. The basic process involves:
- Leaving your existing cabinet boxes in place and removing the doors and drawer fronts.
- Installing a ¼-inch-thick veneer made from premium solid wood over your cabinet boxes.
- Installing brand-new, custom-manufactured doors, drawer fronts, and hardware.
After completing the process, the cabinets look and function as good as new at a significantly reduced cost. For time-crunched homeowners, the process can be completed in as little as three days.
Pros of Refacing Kitchen Cabinets
Any home remodeling project has pros and cons. Understanding the pros of refacing kitchen cabinets will help you decide about your home improvement renovation.
Cost-Effective
Installing new custom-made cabinets is expensive. Cabinet refacing costs are significantly less, and your kitchen gets a new look. Refacing cabinets involves replacing the veneer and adding new cabinet hardware to the existing cabinet frame, requiring less materials and labor to install the cabinets.
Timesaving
A full kitchen remodel is time-consuming. If your existing cabinet frames are in good shape, refacing is usually quicker than replacing cabinets. A complete cabinet replacement is disruptive and can take weeks to complete. Choosing cabinet refacing is less disruptive and you can enjoy your updated kitchen look more quickly.
Eco-Friendly
Refacing cabinets is a greener and eco-friendly option for avoiding sending old cabinets to landfills. It reduces waste and the need for new timber cabinet frames. In addition, refacing cabinets reduces emissions because less fuel is required to transport wood to build new cabinets.
Wide Range of Style Choices
Homeowners can choose from a wide range of materials, finishes, and styles to change the look of their kitchen. Adding features like new doors, knobs, customized countertops, and backsplash upgrade a kitchen without changing the layout of your kitchen.
Can Increase Home Value
Renovating your kitchen and refacing kitchen cabinets can make an old, tired kitchen look new and modern. Changing the look of your kitchen with updated features and a new veneer adds value to a home.
Cons of Refacing Kitchen Cabinets
While refacing kitchen cabinets has strong pros, it isn’t ideal for all kitchen cabinets. Here are some cons to this process.
No Change to Kitchen Layout
When you reface your kitchen cabinets, you can’t change the kitchen layout. If you aren’t happy with the space and layout of your kitchen design and want to make structural changes, refacing the cabinets won’t work. Talk to our expert at Reborn Cabinets about your goals to see if your kitchen layout suits your current needs.
Durability
Cabinet refacing only replaces the veneer fittings. The original cabinet frame remains the same and, over time, can degrade and become worn. Reborn will check the condition of the cabinet box to ensure the durability will last for our lifetime warranty, as well as replace all doors and any drawers that need upgrading. If the condition of the old cabinet box is poor, you may need to build new cabinets.
