Kitchen Doors

Everything has a lifespan, and for the average kitchen it's around 20 years. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, but in most instances, after a couple of decades that once gleaming new kitchen will be worn, outdated, and drab. While many components of an old kitchen can be upgraded with relative ease, the cabinetry is another story. Installing new cabinets is an involved proposition, and new cabinets are expensive. In fact, cabinetry is typically the most expensive component of a kitchen.

If done properly, reface kitchen remodeling will give you a new kitchen that can be expected to age gracefully for another 20 years or so before you have to update again.

Although it is possible to improve the appearance of old cabinets by washing and waxing or sanding and refinishing, in most instances they won't look much better than what you started with. They certainly won't look anywhere near as good as new cabinets would. 

If your kitchen cabinets are looking dowdy, don't despair. By making some simple changes to improve the efficiency of your existing cabinet layout and then refacing those cabinets, you can have a beautiful new kitchen for a fraction of the cost of ripping everything out and replacing it. 

What's more, a cabinet refacing job is usually a lot less disruptive than a conventional cabinet replacement job. Sometimes called cabinet front replacement or cabinet restyling, refacing is a process whereby older cabinets are renewed by removing the old doors and drawer fronts, resurfacing the cabinet face frames and sides, and then installing new doors and drawer fronts. 

There are several methods for refacing face frames but we use prefinished wood veneers (with wood door styles) and wrap them around the rails and stiles. The finished appearance is that of a new face frame. Several other modifications, like upgrading old drawers and slides or replacing a worn-out lazy Susan, can be done at the same time, too.
