Kitchen cabinets often take up the most space in a kitchen, and therefore can be its most defining element. When they're ready to be spruced up, cabinet refacing will save you money and maximize the resources of your current cabinets. Hire a contractor to do the job right, and enjoy the benefits of a kitchen makeover without the costs of a full remodel.

New kitchen cabinets can easily take up over half of a kitchen remodeling budget. Refacing allows homeowners to do more with their money, as cabinet refacing costs are less than half the cost of new kitchen cabinets.

Improve your kitchen with custom cabinet refacing from Home Depot. Your cabinet doors and drawer fronts will be delivered and installed by licensed professionals within two to three days.

No options are lost, however; kitchen cabinet refacing comes with nearly as many options for doors, drawers, hardware, finishes, and paint as new kitchen cabinets. Refacing can successfully remove the stress from a kitchen remodeling budget and provide an all-new look to a kitchen.

Three Tips for a Refacing Project

Here are three tips for your kitchen cabinet refacing project:
  1. Make sure the cabinets are structurally sound. If they are, there is no need for new kitchen cabinets; refacing will do the trick.
  2. Hire a contractor. Not a typical do-it-yourself job, kitchen cabinet refacing requires several long days and many steps, such as cabinet door removal, degreasing, sanding, refinishing, and more. Make sure the contractor has a license, insurance, and good references.
  3. Create a budget. A big reason to reface your kitchen cabinets instead of buying new ones is to save on remodeling costs. Determine what you can spend, and plan your refacing project accordingly.

A kitchen cabinet refacing project takes less than half the time of a new cabinet installation, too. Within one to two, weeks you should be enjoying your functional, face-lifted kitchen.
