If you have gotten quotes on Kitchen Cabinet Refacing you know how expensive it is.
Do you really know what you get for your money?
- The cases will be "refaced" with a peel & stick, very thin veneer (they cut it with scissors).
- Your doors and drawer fronts will either get the same treatment or be replaced.
You can pretty much bet the quality and craftsmanship of the new doors and drawer fronts will be nothing like you had. You can also bet that over time the peel & stick veneer will peel & unstick. Think about the reasons your cabinets look bad, it's from kitchen steam, smoke & humidity. Do you really think a stick on veneer is going to stand up to those conditions any better than your cabinets did? No it won't! I can't even count how many homes we have been in homes to reglue veneer from old refacing jobs.
With refinishing you keep your quality construction and craftsmanship, you can change the color, keep it the same color, change the sheen or paint them. Adding new hardware (pulls, knobs & hinges) can also enhance the look.
Refinishing is completed much faster and there is no requirement for 50% down, no need to order veneer, no need to order doors or drawer fronts. Oh, and it cost about 1/3 as much as refacing!
Refinishing does not require the use of caustic & noxious chemicals in your home.
In short, you can have a beautiful, revitalized Kitchen in less than a week and save 2/3 of your refacing budget.
