Replace or Reface?

You've been wondering if you should replace or reface cabinets. How do you know which is the right choice. From simple kitchen updates to complete remodels, the decision to replace or reface your cabinets is a huge part of your remodeling budget.

Pulls and Knobs

You've got a few options when redoing your kitchen. If you choose to reface your cabinets, we'll replace the doors and drawers, and help you complete the look with new hardware. The pulls and knobs in your kitchen help to set their style. Whether you're looking for modern or traditional style, the pulls and knobs contribute to the look.

Inside Your Cabinets

Refacing cabinets is a great time to add the extras that you missed out on the first time around. A great example is adding lazy susans to the back corners that are hard to reach. We have a variety of cabinet pull outs and rotating shelves to make access easy.

Refacing is Fast

Refacing your cabinets is a faster solution than ripping everything out and replacing. It's often less expensive as well. All that adds up to a lower stress remodel, without sacrificing the look of new cabinets, and without having to remove all your appliances. Changing your door and drawer styles can have a huge impact.

Current Cabinet Quality

Refacing isn't right for everyone homeowner though. Before you decide, take your current cabinet's condition into consideration. If your current cabinets aren't well built and are falling apart, it may make more sense to replace the entire bank of cabinets. If current cabinets have water damage, or signs of faulty construction, there's no reason to throw good money after bad.

Current Cabinet's Age

How old are your current cabinets? Cabinets built before the 80's were generally built of 3/4" plywood and not particle board like some newer cabinets are. It might make sense to keep them around if they are well built.

Do They Work?

Even if your cabinets are built well, if you don't like the layout, you'll want to replace them. If the cabinets aren't deep enough or tall enough, replacing is a better option than refacing. A kitchen that isn't the right size to hold your pots and pans needs an upgrade.
