The Benefits of Cabinet Refacing
Would you like to update the look and feel of your kitchen cabinets? You can do so with an expensive and time-consuming cabinet replacement project. But there is another way to achieve the same result: cabinet refacing. This service involves replacing your cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while leaving the existing cabinet boxes and kitchen layout intact. To ensure a gorgeous and cohesive appearance, a durable veneer is then applied. When your cabinet refacing project is complete, your kitchen cabinets will look brand-new again.Cabinet refacing offers several key benefits over a more comprehensive cabinet replacement project, including:
Substantial Savings
On the whole, refacing cabinets is a much less expensive endeavor than replacing cabinets. The former requires less in terms of both manpower and materials. Consider that, on average, new cabinets comprise a whopping one-third to one-half of an entire kitchen remodeling budget! Plus, as existing cabinets are torn out, underlying damage may become apparent, revealing a need to make costly repairs that were not accounted for in the original budget.A cabinet refacing project can be simple or complex; it’s totally up to you and your budget. For instance, in addition to having new doors and drawers made and installed, you may opt to add crown molding for architectural interest, include new storage space or islands, or upgrade the drawers with side-mounted tracks on rollers.If your kitchen cabinets need a refresh but are still in good structural condition, cabinet refacing is an ideal option. It can provide the same look and feel as a cabinet replacement—without the high cost.
Minimal Inconvenience
Your kitchen is the heart of your home. If any part of it is out of commission for any length of time, you and your family will likely feel a significant impact in terms of inconvenience. A cabinet replacement is a long and intensive process that can span several weeks. Before the new cabinets can be installed, the existing framework must be torn out of the walls and removed from your home. In addition to making a big mess, this can render your kitchen virtually unusable until the project is complete.On the other hand, your kitchen will remain in good working order throughout a cabinet refacing project. That’s because the underlying cabinet framework will remain in place. You won’t have to stay out of your kitchen or eat every meal in a restaurant, and because the new cabinet doors and drawer fronts will be created off-site, you won’t have to deal with the resulting dust, either. Perhaps best of all? Cabinet refacing can be completed in as little as three days.
Less Harm to the Environment
Cabinet refacing is an eco-friendly process. Consider that by refacing your kitchen cabinets instead of replacing them, you will save many trees that would have been cut down to create the new cabinet boxes. You will also save the fuel that would have been burned to transport the lumber, and reduce the resulting emissions to the atmosphere. If you opt for cabinet refacing, you can feel good about making a green choice that is better for the planet.When you consider these benefits, it’s easy to see why so many homeowners turn to Home Solutions by Kurtis for cabinet refacing services.
