What is Cabinet Refacing?
Refacing cabinets is the process of gluing a thin veneer of laminate plastic or wood strips
to the exposed cabinet face frames. Cabinet doors and drawer fronts and hardware are replaced. The basic cost for minimum work above $6,000- $10,000.
What You DO NOT Get With “Basic” Cabinet Refacing
- Can not change a dysfunctional kitchen layout.
- Cabinet interiors stay as is.
- Can not repair cabinet boxes with moisture damage.
- Can not fix flimsy cabinet construction.
- Can not have under mount cabinets lights controlled by wall switches.
- Can not have adjustable cabinet shelving or a Lazy Susan in corners to maximize storage.
- Can not utilize pull out drawers because of the middle stile (the wood piece that supports cabinets).
- Can not have, without extra cost, dovetail constructed drawers.
- Some older cabinets made of particle board can not support full extension, soft closing drawer glides.
Additional Costs
- New counter tops and back splashes.
- New sink and faucet.
If you want the items mentioned above, as most home owners do, the additional cost could increase dramatically — up to $30,000!
