What Does Cabinet Refacing Include?

If you’d like to make a big change to your kitchen without breaking the bank, cabinet refacing may be the way to go. Whether your cabinets are old or simply worn out, they can be refaced as long as their underlying framework is still structurally sound. But what exactly does the process include? Essentially, cabinet refacing involves removing the original doors, drawer fronts and hardware, and replacing them with new components of your choosing. The cabinet boxes are left intact, and a high-quality hardwood veneer is applied to achieve a seamless and like-new result.

But What Does It Cost?

After refacing, your cabinets will look as if they just arrived from the factory, and at a fraction of the cost of a full cabinet replacement project. That’s mainly because less labor and fewer materials are required for the job. For instance, if you replace your cabinets, the existing cabinets must first be torn away from the walls. The demolition aspect of the job can cost a hefty sum, and special care must be taken to protect the countertops and floors. The cabinet refacing process isn’t nearly as complicated because the underlying structure is left in place. The exact cost of cabinet refacing can vary based on several factors, including the size and layout of the kitchen, the number of cabinets, the cabinet door and hardware selections, and any upgrades, such as crown molding. However, on average, the cost of cabinet refacing is about half the cost of cabinet replacement.

Is Cabinet Refacing a Worthwhile Investment?

Your kitchen is the heart of your home, and the cabinetry has a significant impact on its appeal. If your cabinets are outdated or damaged, it can take away from your enjoyment of the space, not to mention the value of your home. Of course, a cabinet replacement would do the trick, but that type of project can be messy, time-consuming, and expensive. With cabinet refacing, you can achieve a like-new appearance with a new door style, color or stain, hardware, and cabinet boxes impeccably veneered to match—all without blowing your budget. You can also get back into your kitchen faster because the average turnaround time for cabinet refacing is just three days. In sum, cabinet refacing is an excellent investment in terms of both money and time. In fact, it is one of the most budget-friendly ways to make a big upgrade to your kitchen. You won’t have to spend more than you’re comfortable with, and your kitchen will be completely transformed in a matter of days. You might even have some money left in your budget for a new backsplash or countertop, too.

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!
