Video Overview: Kitchen Cabinet Refacing

  1. How Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Is Done
    • If you decide to reface your kitchen cabinets, the first step is to pick a new door style. You can then prepare your cabinets by emptying them and taking off the old door and molding - stripping them down to the cabinet boxes.
    • Next a veneer that matches the color and style of the new door is applied to all visible surfaces of the cabinet box - including the sides, front and bottom. Once the veneer is on, the new molding, doors and drawer fronts can be installed.
    • Homeowners may choose to change the hardware or hinges at this time as well.
  1. Why Refacing?
    • Cabinet refacing is a good option for homeowners who like the floor plan and storage space of their kitchen, but are ready for a visual change. Because refacing is a cosmetic change only, the inside of cabinet stays same.
    • If your kitchen cabinets are not in good condition, refacing is not an option. Cabinet refacing does not repair the cabinetry - it only gives them a facelift.
