5 Reasons Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Is Best Left to Pros
Cabinet refacing is a process that involves removing all exterior kitchen cabinet surfaces, then refacing and refinishing them. It’s the most cost-effective way of giving new life to your existing, structurally sound kitchen cabinets. Many homeowners find it a good DIY project, but there are reasons professional cabinet refacing is the superior choice:
-
Manageable cost – The problem with most DIY projects is that the cost can easily get out of hand, especially when it’s the homeowner’s first time. Pros have enough experience to provide a written quote that covers the entire project cost, barring unforeseen or incidental expenses. Note that DIY kitchen cabinet refacing also forces you to invest in materials and equipment that you’ll most likely only use once. As a result, a DIY refacing projects might actually cost you more upfront than hiring a professional remodeler.
-
Accurate appraisal of your cabinets’ condition – If you can’t decide whether you should replace or reface because you’re unsure of your cabinets’ condition, then hiring a professional is the way to go. Our extensive experience working with kitchen cabinets lets us determine what’s best for your kitchen cabinets. We’ll do an in-depth inspection of your cabinets to determine which course of action is the smarter one.
-
Better material selection – Professionals have a bigger selection of materials and finishes than what you would normally find in hardware stores and depots. This gives you a better chance of finding the exact finish that you want. Imagine having the option to match your new cabinet exterior with your existing countertops or finding a finish that matches your exact specifications. Better materials for your kitchen countertops and cabinets also benefit you in the long run. Higher-rated materials last longer. In a similar light, superior finishing can also extend the service life of your kitchen cabinets. When you work with a professional company like us, you’ll get only the best materials for your kitchen.
-
Professional work quality – If you need only one reason to have your kitchen cabinets refaced professionally, it’s the work quality, and we don’t just mean the finished cabinets. We arrive on time on the appointed day, take precautions to make sure the entire workplace is clean and that everything is as clean once we finish. We also make efficient use of our time to guarantee completion as promised. Keep in mind that even the smallest mistakes in a refacing project can cost you in the long run. An improperly installed door or poorly resurfaced structure, for example, will end up with more problems a few years later. Avoid amateur mistakes from the outset by working with a professional contractor.
