Can You Change Laminate Cabinets?

Laminate cabinets are a popular option in modern kitchens, and for good reason. When compared with other materials, such as wood, laminate is often more affordable and easier to maintain. However, when laminate becomes damaged or begins to peel or blister due to age or heat exposure, it can quickly become an eyesore. In these situations, homeowners often wonder what their options are. Can you change laminate cabinets without having to deal with the hassle and expense of a full replacement? While some options, such as refinishing, aren’t possible with laminate cabinets, there are indeed more affordable and efficient updates available.

Refacing Laminate Cabinets

Cabinet refacing is perhaps the best option for homeowners who want to change their laminate cabinets. Typically, this process involves:

Removing cabinet doors and drawer fronts while leaving cabinet boxes in place
Applying a laminate or veneer over your existing cabinet boxes
Installing new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware

By leaving the cabinet boxes in place, refacing requires far less labor and fewer materials, which significantly shortens the timeline and reduces costs. Most importantly, cabinet refacing can make your laminate cabinets look brand new. However, it is important to keep in mind that the quality of refacing materials varies widely, as does the workmanship of the companies that install them. Choosing the right company can mean the difference between enjoying a beautifully updated kitchen that looks great for decades and cabinets that quickly begin to peel and blister, bringing you back to square one.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
