What is Cabinet Refacing?

Answer:
There comes a point in the life of every home owner

when the subject of redoing the kitchen comes up. Rather than jumping to the expense of replacing all of the cabinets, many owners are re-facing their existing cabinets.

Re-facing a cabinet involves applying a new finish or surface-covering to the exposed surfaces of the old cabinets. This new surface can be glued or nailed over the cabinet face, once the doors and hardware have been removed. It is important to look for areas where the old finish might be exposed and cover those areas with trim or molding. Once the hardware is changed and the new surface finish is in place, the cabinets will be completely transformed. Cabinet re-facing only takes a few days to do and can add immediate beauty and value to home, at a fraction of the cost of replacing the cabinets.
