Cabinet refacing is a great alternative to more expensive kitchen remodeling projects for homeowners in search of a quick and easy way to achieve a more modern kitchen. In a cabinet refacing project, the doors and visible parts of the cabinet are refaced with a new coating of veneer to update and refresh their appearance. The layout and arrangement of the cabinets remains the same, only the external appearance of the cabinets change. Depending on the homeowners' preference, the update can also include new hardware on the cabinet doors, or extra upgrades such as trim and molding.
For homeowners with a small budget and dreams of an updates look, cabinet refacing is the ultimate perfect solution. This type of project enables homeowners to complete change the appearance of a kitchen without breaking the bank. By simply covering the external cabinet surfaces with a thin coating of veneer, the cabinets get an instant update, transforming the look of the entire room! Cabinet refacing is also a great solution for homeowners who want to install new flooring or change their home's color scheme without the added expense of new cabinets to match the updated decor.
Unlike typical kitchen remodels, which can involve massive demolition that puts the kitchen out of use for weeks or even months, a refacing project can be completed in the span of a single afternoon. The hardest part of the project is the removal and replacement of the door fronts and drawers - the majority of the time is spent simply cleaning the casings and applying the veneer coat that's been selected.
