Want to spruce up your kitchen without breaking the bank? You can reface kitchen cabinets rather than replace them for considerable savings!
Kitchen cabinet refacing involves replacing cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware with new ones while preserving existing cabinet boxes. In high-quality refacing projects, the cabinet boxes often are also covered with new wood. Compared to buying entirely new cabinets, refacing is a cost-effective way to give your kitchen a brand-new look and improve its functionality while saving time and money as opposed to a complete overhaul.
Let us help you better understand refacing. This guide explores various cabinet refacing benefits and how American Wood Reface can help turn your vision into reality.
Why Choose to Reface Kitchen Cabinets Instead of Replacing Them?
Save Money Without Compromising on Style
Refacing is a budget-friendly way to upgrade your cabinets. While a complete cabinet replacement starts at $200 per linear foot, cabinet refacing costs start at $100 per linear foot.
Plus, refacing offers a variety of customization options, including wood choices like maple, cherry, and walnut, as well as finishes ranging from sleek modern stains to rustic distressed looks. Additional custom cabinet upgrades, such as decorative crown molding, glazed highlights, or intricate panel designs, allow you to achieve a truly high-end aesthetic without the hassle or expense of a full demolition and installation.
Less Mess, Less Disruption
You don’t have to gut your entire kitchen all at once to improve its looks—refacing cabinets is less invasive and will breathe new life into this space. The cabinet refacing process is fast—usually less than a week in duration—and it’s minimally disruptive to your day-to-day routine. Work is restricted to one small area at a time, keeping the rest of your kitchen functional.
More Than Just a New Look: How Refacing Upgrades Functionality Too
Custom Cabinet Upgrades for Better Organization
It goes beyond looks. When you reface kitchen cabinets, you also make your cooking space more convenient and functional. For instance, you can add glide-out organizers, drawer banks, and dovetailed drawer boxes to modernize old cabinets. You can also upgrade to soft-close hinges and drawer slides to minimize impacts, prolonging their lifespan as a result.
Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone. American Wood Reface customizes cabinet interiors to improve storage and usability.
Modify Cabinets to Fit New Appliances
The problem with getting new, bigger appliances is their size. What if they don’t fit into your existing cabinetry?
Refacing solves this problem by modifying your cabinets and drawers to accommodate larger refrigerators, double ovens, dishwashers, and other appliances. Another popular trend nowadays is seamlessly integrating kitchen appliances into cabinets with a built-in appearance achieved with custom panels and reconfigured cabinets.
Premium Materials Make All the Difference
The American Wood Reface Quality Standard
Many homeowners get refacing services to improve the quality of their existing cabinets. American Wood Reface uses premium 1/4″ solid hardwood instead of cheap veneers or laminates to revitalize your cabinet for longer functional life, a crucial consideration particularly when working with valuable wood cabinetry.
Replacing faded or worn solid wood cabinets with inexpensive plywood stock cabinets just to achieve a newer look is actually a downgrade in quality! Custom refacing with solid wood upgrades the appearance, quality, and value of older wood cabinets—often for less than the cost of replacing those cabinets.
Thousands of Styles, Finishes & Colors
Another advantage of refacing is you don’t have to stick to your current cabinet’s look—the sky’s the limit with what you can achieve! Choose from a vast selection of door styles, wood types, and finishes to match the rest of your kitchen’s interior—or perhaps start a new design in your home.
