5 Commonly Asked Questions About Cabinet Refacing

As a homeowner, it’s normal to ask a lot of questions about your home and how to make it better. From big bathroom remodeling to something small like your cabinets, you have your own curiosities. If you’re thinking about cabinet refacing and have some questions, you’ve come to the right place. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southeast Florida is here to answer five commonly asked questions about cabinet refacing. 

Q1: What is cabinet refacing?

A: Cabinet refacing is replacing the exteriors of your cabinets. This is when your contractors will take out the shelves and doors and apply new veneer to your cabinets. They will then replace the old doors with new ones to reface your cabinets. This is done if you’re looking to change up the style of your cabinets or if your doors need replacement.

Q2: Should I reface or resurface?

A: While cabinet refacing involves the replacement of the exterior, cabinet resurfacing only involves freshening up the look of the cabinets. Choosing one or the other will definitely be based on your needs. If the original parts of your cabinet still look well and you’re not looking to replace its style, you can stick with resurfacing. If you’re redecorating your home or your cabinet doors look old, then you should go for refacing.

Q3: Why do I need to reface my cabinets?

A: Outdated looks can bring the look of your entire kitchen down. With cabinet refacing, you are raising your home’s value as well as updating your home. Updates are important for homes every now and then to make sure that it does not look old.

Q4: How long does a cabinet refacing take?

A: The length of the project will depend on the number of cabinets you’re looking to reface. A small kitchen remodeling project involving cabinet refacing should last two to three days. This is assuming that your kitchen only has a few cabinets to reface. For larger kitchens, you may be looking at four days to a week of refacing.

Q5: Can I reface my cabinets myself?

A: Cabinet refacing can help improve your kitchen’s overall appearance without having to resort to a full remodel. Going the DIY route, however, isn’t recommended. Such an approach usually involves the use of self-sticking wood veneer or laminate, which peel and chip over time and can be hard to repair once damaged. You’re better off leaving this job to the professionals who can revitalize the look of your cabinets and make them look more attractive and appealing.
