Buying all new cabinets, countertops, and appliances can cost you tens of thousands of dollars. If you desire to have a new kitchen, but it just doesn’t fit your budget, than this process is for you! There is no need to go out and buy a whole new kitchen when everything you need is all around you.

Cabinet refacing companies are out there to transform your old cabinetry into a stunning, brand new look. A cabinet refacing system completely renews and beautifies old, ugly cabinets. This new look goes beyond just repainting or refinishing the doors, but completely refaces all of your surfaces in your kitchen. You will have a full range of products and available options to pick from to determine what best suits your needs and desires, as well as your budget.

There are many combinations of solid woods, beautiful finishes, and attractive door styles to choose from to complement your home, lifestyle, and taste. With the ability to reconfigure or add kitchen cabinets, as well as incorporate modern accessories and features, the design possibilities are endless. Your new “dream kitchen” will only take a few days, and at a fraction of the cost of a custom kitchen remodel. You will have a beautiful kitchen in less than a week.

Cabinets can be altered to make them more functional.

â– Reconfiguring cabinets to make room for a larger refrigerator.
â– Add a microwave above the range.
â– Add new pantries, wall, or base cabinets.
â– Install your preferred upgrades, such as roll-out trays, lazy susans, trash bins, wine racks, or many other available options.
â– Adjust the countertop height, which may be needed in kitchens where new floors have been installed.
Other upgrades available include new countertops, sinks, faucets, backsplashes, wall tile, or appliances.

There are also cove or crown moldings, door or window casings, new sills, wainscoting or baseboard options as well at your choosing. Make sure the company you select cleans up, as things can get a little messy.

The company doing the work will remove all old cabinet doors and drawer fronts, existing moldings, and countertops. When the kitchen refacing process begins, all exposed face frames will be covered with a solid hardwood in your choice of wood and finish. The sides and bottoms are usually also covered to give you the look of high-end furniture. Make sure all the wood that is used is prefinished so there is no worry of peeling of veneers or delaminating, as in other cabinet refacing systems.
