Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
Feb 11th, 2009 by admin
Remodeling your kitchen can be very costly and time-consuming. That’s why many people choose cabinet refacing instead of replacing their cabinets.
Kitchen cabinets reflect the heart and soul of the homeowner. The cabinets you have in your kitchen have the greatest impact on a kitchen’s look. They come in many shapes and sizes as well as in a rainbow of colors. Only your imagination and your bank account limit the color and design of your cabinets.
You can give your kitchen a fresh, new look with a makeover for your older kitchen cabinets. If you’re happy with your existing cabinet layout, and the cabinets are still in good condition, then cabinet re-facing is an alternative to replacing them.
Using custom kitchen cabinet refacing services to reface your cabinets and drawers is a simple, hassle-free alternative for updating your kitchen. The result is a bright, affordable custom-looking kitchen completed easier and faster than tearing out your old cabinets – most cabinet refacing work can be done in around 3 days with no mess!
You could alternatively of course consider the fact that kitchen cabinet doors can be sanded and re-painted using any color and texture you choose. Or you can strip the surface using a variety of chemical products available at any home supply store. It is always important to read the label and precautions on any chemical stripper prior to using them. Many of these products can cause serious health problems if the instructions are not followed.
This route will inevetably take much longer and be a lot messier, but it is still an option.
If you want to remodel your kitchen on a budget, kitchen cabinet refacing is still a better option in my opinion because you get a much better, longer-lasting professional finish. At about 1/3 the cost of cabinet replacement, refacing is the affordable makeover for your kitchen.
Don’t forget the look of your kitchen cabinets will also be reflected in the hardware you choose, from the hinges to the handles. There are a large variety of cabinet door styles, hinges, handles, drawers/drawer fronts and exterior finishes to choose from, so you’ll be able to pick your idea of a dream kitchen. Once you finish all the choices and have them in place you will enjoy them for years to come.
