Kitchen Cabinets Refacing

Kitchen refacing can be a very cost effective way of refreshing the look of your tired cabinets, bringing a new and updated look at a fraction of the cost.

Is my kitchen a candidate for a kitchen reface?

Yes – if you love your cabinet layout and design. A reface will keep all of your existing cabinets in the same place. If the flow works for you, the way you cook, the way you entertain then Yes you may be a candidate for a reface.

Yes – if your cabinets are made of single box construction. This means that your cabinets were installed as individual boxes, and not built in place. This would assume your cabinets are less than 25 years old, when the trend moved to purchasing cabinets through lumber yards or new construction. Why?

Painting your kitchen

A painter can come in, sand down your current cabinet faces and doors and give you a fresh new look. Paint refinishing is not warrantied, and typically lasts 5 – 8 years before it needs to be done again.

Replacing fronts

Door and drawer fronts can be removed, measured and replaced with a cabinet with a factory finish. These cabinet doors will be a maple with a multi-step finish completed in a factory under the strictest conditions to increase performance and presentation that cannot be achieved in a re – painted door. The face frame of the cabinets would be sanded and matched to the new door finish.

Charging Stations

A drawer with an outlet installed is often called a “docking drawer” or a “charging station”. Of course, they are not solely used for charging electronics, but often this is the idea in mind. In fact, including more outlets in your kitchen is the standard these days. It just so happens that cabinets and drawers are the most convenient locations.
