While there are several ways to revamp your kitchen space, cabinet refacing is often worth the investment. This is done when newer cabinet components have different surface designs or finishes to ensure you get a more seamless design. It can also be done to other areas that have vanities and built-in cabinets such as the bathroom and laundry room.
If this is your first time refacing your cabinets, what should you expect? Envy Home Services, one of the leading kitchen remodelers and sunroom addition contractors in the area, shares more insight:
Your cabinets consist of doors, drawers, boxes, and hardware. Cabinet refacing is when the outside of the outer cabinet surfaces are applied with a wood or laminate veneer or skin. It won’t disrupt your daily kitchen tasks and you won’t have to spend a fortune. Compared to a full cabinet replacement job, a refacing project will only cost around half as much.
Although cabinet refacing is inexpensive, that doesn’t mean it’s easy enough to do on your own. It’s still a type of woodworking skill that requires a professional to handle the job. As such, it’s better to hire an expert from one of the top interior kitchen and bathroom renovation companies that specialize in refacing doors, drawers, and hardware.
Before the refacing job begins, your hired kitchen design specialist will visit your home and inspect the cabinets closely. They’ll take the necessary measurements and offer several veneers and rigid thermo-foil options for your cabinets. They may also offer a few renovation extras apart from the refacing job. This can range from simply replacing the hardware to installing a new sink and faucet combo, so make sure to discuss what you want for your kitchen interiors early on before they start working.
Once the refacing begins, they’ll remove the doors and drawer fronts and clean the cabinet interiors. They can also be painted, especially if you want them in the same color as your refaced cabinets. After sanding the surface, they’ll proceed to reface the cabinets by cutting the skin or veneer down to size. After the job’s done, you can do a final inspection to see if the refaced cabinets meet your expectations!
