There are many options for updating your kitchen or bathroom, and resurfacing cabinets is a low-cost way to refresh the appearance of cabinets without doing a full remodel, which can be expensive and takes much longer to complete.
The resurfacing process involves stripping cabinets of doors and drawers, then applying a layer of material, usually wood or plastic veneer and lastly replacing the doors and adding new hardware to the cabinet fronts.
When deciding the best course of action when updating your kitchen or bathroom, there are many factors to consider including cost, time, ease and design. Below are a few benefits to resurfacing your cabinets:
Resurfacing has advantages, but cabinet refacing produces a superior result.
While cabinet resurfacing is a common way to quickly give your home an update, refacing is a similar process that is generally regarded as a higher quality process.
Cabinet resurfacing is basically a cosmetic process. New material is applied to visible surfaces, producing a seemingly new look, though the ‘bones’ of cabinet doors and drawers are left entirely intact.
On the other hand, cabinet refacing involves the removal and replacement of everything except the cabinet boxes. This allows you the freedom to choose your cabinet color, design, texture and style, without the hassle of committing to a time consuming remodel.
1. Remove the old cabinets doors and drawers
2. Repair and repaint the cabinet boxes
3. Install new cabinet doors, drawers, hinges and pulls.
Refacing is a quick process, usually completed in 3 days or less. Both resurfacing and refacing allow you to refresh your cabinets with new color and style. However, refacing goes a step further, allowing you to fully redesign your cabinets and drawers, without the cost and hassle of a full remodel.
