4 Things To Know Before Refacing Your Cabinets
Refacing is a fast and low-cost way to having attractive cabinets. It might be a superficial makeover, but its contributions to your kitchen’s beauty are dramatic.
Before you spend your home improvement dollars on cabinet refacing, though, take note of the following:
1. It Only Makes Sense When Cabinet Boxes Are Intact
This project only deals with the “face” of your cabinetry. So, if the very framework of your units is damaged one way or another, covering them with new veneers won’t change the fact that your cabinets are broken.
At Dreamstyle Remodeling, we’ll evaluate your existing kitchen units first to ensure they’re good candidates for cabinet refacing installation. Otherwise, we’ll recommend a complete replacement job to make good use of your money.
2. It Doesn’t Fix Bad Kitchen Design
If you’re unhappy with the current design of your kitchen, cabinet refacing won’t change it. When you want to give your space a major revamp, a custom kitchen remodeling makes more financial sense.
3. It’s Less Effective When Backsplashes and Countertops Are Unsightly
Sometimes, gorgeous cabinetry can’t single-handedly improve the look of your kitchen. When your countertops and backsplashes are in bad shape, consider giving them a facelift too. Dealing with them in one project would cause less disruption to your everyday routine.
4. It Is Not Always a Feasible DIY Job
Many homeowners decide to reface cabinets themselves to avoid spending on professional labor. However, this project is actually more complicated than it seems. It requires technical expertise, specialized veering equipment, and a flair for precision. If you lack the proficiency, experience, and gear to carry out the job right, you risk committing workmanship errors. In the end, you might have to call pros to finish what you started.
