Refacing – Refaceful

Cabinet Refacing in Reno

Done Right

Refinishing vs. Refacing

Cabinet refacing is also a more convenient, safer, timelier alternative to cabinet “refinishing,” a process we don’t do and do not recommend.

Refacing can save you 30% – 50% compared to the price of total cabinet replacement and most jobs are completed within three days.
Refacing is the process of installing new veneers on the exterior of the existing carcasses and replacing the doors, drawer fronts and molding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Most of the time we find that the only thing wrong with cabinetry that people want to reface is that finish is worn out and/or the overall look and style is outdated. Usually the cabinet carcass, or box, is generally in good condition and has much more life left in it. Cabinet refacing allows you to get more out of your original cabinet purchase by making the outside look new again, even though nothing really changed on the inside of the cabinet.

It’s hard to put an exact dollar amount on the price of refacing, because no two kitchens are the same when it comes to the size and quantity of cabinetry. At Refaceful® our price is based on the type and amount of material that is needed to reface the exterior of your cabinetry. Suffice it to say, refacing a cabinet is generally half the price of buying new!

No question…the price of cabinet refacing is half of total cabinet replacement. With total cabinet replacement, you’re having to replace countertops, appliances, sink (and disposal), faucets and other plumbing, where with cabinet refacing, we’re only addressing the cosmetic exterior of the cabinetry itself…there’s no need to replace the other items, unless you want to.

The Refaceful® way of refacing a cabinet is the following:
1. Remove all doors and old hinge hardware
2. Remove all drawers and old drawer slides
3. Remove all molding, applied finished end panels & toe kicks
4. Degrease the cabinet exterior, lightly abrade the existing finish, and tack cloth the exterior of the cabinet carcasses.
5. Apply adhesive to the cabinet exterior (no messy or smelly sprays)
6. Install new prefinished veneers, applied finished end panels, molding and toe kick to cabinet exterior
7. Install new doors with modern day soft-close hinge hardware
8. Install new drawers with modern day soft-close drawer slides and dovetail drawer boxes
9. Install new handle hardware

No question…the price of cabinet refacing is half of total cabinet replacement. With total cabinet replacement, you’re having to replace countertops, appliances, sink (and disposal), faucets and other plumbing, where with cabinet refacing, we’re only addressing the cosmetic exterior of the cabinetry itself…there’s no need to replace the other items, unless you want to.

Absolutely! Your new drawer boxes will include brand new 100% extension, ball-bearing slides. The best part about replacing the drawer box is that your new drawers will come standard with a “soft-close” feature that will close your drawers softly and quietly every time.

On average it only takes about 3 days. Some jobs, like bathroom vanities, can be completed in as little as four hours!

It doesn’t affect the cabinet refacing at all. However, we do recommend that the new countertop be installed before the cabinets are refaced. This way, when we reface your cabinets, we can fix any cabinet damage that may have occurred when the countertop was installed.

That’s perfect…it won’t affect the refacing of your cabinets at all. We’ll work with the existing countertop and three days after we start, you’ll have what looks to be a brand new kitchen.

Definitely! We can reface nearly any cabinetry regardless where they may be located. Cabinetry is our craft and we are comfortable refacing cabinets anywhere it could help beautify your home.

Several factors play a role in how long your refacing will last: temperature, humidity, and general wear and tear are all common considerations. However, as a general rule, the underlying cabinetry will probably deteriorate before the refacing will. Refacing should add a minimum of 7 to 10 years of life to your cabinetry, and in many instances we’ve seen it add more.

No. We’ve found that most of the refinishing jobs we’ve seen end up chipping or peeling over a short period of time. The cost of trying to save your existing doors and drawer fronts by stripping them and applying a new finish usually costs more than they’re worth. Not to mention that cabinet refinishing is a messy process that uses harsh chemicals in your home.
