Thinking about remodeling your kitchen but worried about the costs? Refacing your kitchen might be a good option.
Refacing? What’s that?
A lot of people haven’t heard of kitchen refacing. So what is it? Simply put, rather than remodeling your kitchen by ripping out your kitchen cabinets and making new ones, refacing gives your kitchen a new look by:
- removing old doors and drawerfronts, and replacing them with new ones of your choice
- laminating existing cabinets
- replacing countertops and fixtures, if desired.
If you need more space in your kitchen, most kitchen refacing companies are able to extend your existing cabinets up to the ceiling, giving you more room for storage. They can also build additional cabinets as needed.
By saving and re-using your existing cabinets, you reap a number of benefits. Most importantly, you save money. New cabinets often involve high production costs. Refacing will give you the same brand new, custom look as remodeling, at a significantly lower cost.
You'll also save time by refacing instead of remodeling. Most refacing jobs are completed in a few days, while remodeling can take weeks. Because new cabinets don't need to be built and installed, you won't have to live without a kitchen for long, and you'll be able to enjoy your new kitchen sooner.
Furthermore, you help the environment by reducing waste associated with discarding your old cabinets.
If you're looking for an economical, time-saving, environmentally-friendly alternative to kitchen remodeling, refacing might be right for you.
