FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between a reface and a
remodel?
Refacing
is refurbishing of the
existing cabinets while
adding new doors and molding. It does not
require removal of any other parts of the
kitchen.
Cabinet Refacing is usually
completed in under a week and costs from 40% to
70% less then a traditional remodel. You rarely
lose the ability to use your kitchen for more
then a day. Refacing is also a green solution as
your perfectly good cabinet boxes are not
discarded into a landfill.
A traditional remodel involves removal and
installation of new cabinets, countertops and
flooring. Countertops and flooring are almost
always replaced when new cabinets are to be
installed as tearing
out existing cabinets
does not usually leave you
with a usable countertop or floor.
Repairing walls is usually needed as well.
You never know what you
will find that now needs repairs. It is more
expensive and you may have to live without use
of your kitchen for an extended period.
How do I decide if Refacing
is for me?
If your cabinets are in
good condition and you are happy with the
present layout except for a couple of changes
then kitchen cabinet refacing is a great option
for you. Often your existing cabinets are a much
higher quality then today's flimsy construction.
Throwing them into a landfill and replacing with
cheap boxes does not make sense. That is when
you call us. We will save you the time, mess,
and added cost of a full remodel while still
giving you a kitchen you will love.
What part of the cabinets get refaced?
All exposed areas on the
outside of your cabinets get refaced. This
usually means the face frames and sides of the
cabinets.
From the outside it is almost
impossible to tell that these are not new
cabinets.
What determines the cost?
The cost to reface a kitchen can
vary
depending on three factors.
Door style-The more complex or
involved a door is the more expensive it
tends to be.
The type of
material that is chosen for
the doors and
veneer are one of the largest
factors in determining the cost. A
reface done
in cherry hardwood with glazing would
cost much more than in white laminate.
The size of the kitchen
-
The bigger the kitchen the more
doors, drawer fronts, and veneers you will need
