When a kitchen layout is comfortable and easily navigated, and the structure of the cabinets is in good shape, refacing the kitchen cabinets is a good solution for homeowners looking for an updated style. Simple and cost effective, new cabinet doors and hardware can transform any kitchen, no matter how outdated the current look.

Benefits to Cabinet Resurfacing

There are several reasons for choosing to simply reface kitchen cabinets, rather remodel the whole kitchen. If the footprint of the kitchen will not be changing, appliances are either remaining, or are being replaced with new models of the same size, and the cabinet structure is in good shape, then there is no need to remove all the cabinets.

A full kitchen remodel can take up to 6 to 8 weeks to complete from demolition and removal of old cabinets, to the final install of a new counter sink and stove. This can lead to families washing dishes in bathrooms, microwaving meals in the living room, and getting their perishables from the fridge in the garage. Families without a working kitchen are also likely to eat out or get take out food more often, leading to extra, unforeseen expenses.
