Frequently asked questions:
When should I consider cabinet refacing or refinishing?
If your existing cabinet boxes and cabinet interiors are in good shape cabinet refacing or refinishing may be a smart, cost saving option. On the other hand, if your cabinets have water damage and are falling apart or if you are thinking replacing your countertops and need new and better organizational features, it might make more sense to consider all new cabinetry in your kitchen.
What is Cabinet refacing and how much does it cost?
For an average sized kitchen our refacing jobs typically cost around $7,000 - $13,000 dollars installed.
As a comparison, the price of new cabinets for an average sized kitchen with quality cabinetry might be around $15,000 - $25,000 + installation.
What is the difference between cabinet refacing and cabinet refinishing?
Cabinet refinishing involves painting or staining over your existing doors, drawer fronts, and exterior cabinet frames.
Cabinet refacing involves sizing, ordering and installing entirely new door and drawer fronts to your existing kitchen and bath. It sometimes involves re-painting the exterior of the cabinet boxes and often the existing door hinges are replaced with soft-close hardware.
Is cabinet refacing a better way to go?
We think so! We have found refacing to be faster, of better quality and less disruptive to the customer. From our experience, completing many jobs in the Denver, Boulder, Longmont and surrounding areas cabinet refacing is a little bit more expensive than cabinet refinishing, but it is well worth it for these reasons:
1) With new door and drawer panels in a variety of different styles you can change the look of your kitchen entirely and truly update it!
2) Our new door and drawer panels will come pre-finished in a variety of different colors and stains that are simple to select from.
3) Since the door and drawer fronts we provide you are already prefinished from the factory you will save money on not needing to hire an outside painting contractor to do the extra work in your kitchen.
4) Our prefinished factory doors will come with a lifetime warranty on the finish, which is usually much greater than a local painting painting is willing to offer you.
5) The quality of finish on our new doors and drawers in generally superior to any painting work (refinishing) that would be done in the field since they are finished from scratch with superior equipment in a remote factory location that is temperature controlled, dust free.
6) Installing door and drawer fronts that are "prefinished" means that we do all the measuring and installation work for you, and your kitchen doesn't risk becomming a mess with all the sanding, prep. and painting work that is associated with other "refinishing" projects.
7) Speed: the average time it takes to complete a refacing project is about 2 or three days where as a refinishing project can take as long as 1-2 weeks on average.
8) It's hard to refinish a kitchen professionally an obtain an almost "new", but with refacing it's much easier to do.
