Refacing your kitchen cabinets, instead of refacing them, can save money over custom cabinets. But are your current kitchen cabinets a good candidate for refacing?

From simple kitchen updates to complete remodels, figuring out what to do about your cabinets is a big decision. In most kitchen remodels, new cabinets can take up almost half of the entire renovation budget. Good cabinets can also mean the difference between a kitchen that works, and one that doesn't.

What if you can't afford new cabinets with all the latest accessories, in the style and finish you want?

Refacing your cabinets is a good solution. Many homeowners find that they can save money by refacing instead of replacing. By replacing your cabinet doors and drawers, and installing a new wood veneer over your existing cabinet frames, your cabinets can look brand new.

Adding new pulls and knobs can help to update your kitchen's style. Changing the out can make your kitchen look more traditional or more modern. New kitchen hardware is really the finishing touch.

Kitchen refacing leaves more room in the budget to add kitchen accessories. Adding pull out shelves, under cabinet lighting, and corner lazy susans add a lot of functionality.

Refacing cabinets also saves time over replacing. Less stress in your kitchen remodel and less time without your kitchen. Because you're not removing the cabinets, there's no need to remove appliances.

If your current cabinets are good structurally, refacing may be a good option. It's not right for every kitchen remodeling project though. If your cabinets aren't high quality to begin with, you may be better off replacing them. Consider as well, if there has been any previous water damage or excessive wear and tear. Don't spend money to reface cabinets that are already worn out.

Even if your cabinets are in good condition, refacing may still not be the best plan if your kitchen layout doesn't work. If you need a major design change, new cabinets are a more appropriate choice.

Can you have it both ways? That is, can you reface your cabinets and also replace your cabinets? You bet. Reface and add a new kitchen island, or just replace the cabinets that need more than a facelift. Cabinet Wholesalers are experts in kitchen cabinet refacing.
