Many home owners are perplexed as to whether they should spend the extra money and have the kitchen replaced or get a facelift via refacing. The most important question that needs to be asked is if the home owner is satisfied with the current layout of the kitchen. There are cases where some homeowners absolutely do not like the layout of their kitchen and want everything redesigned from scratch. In that case a complete replacement or as it’s called a ‘gut’ of the kitchen is needed.
However if only a couple of cabinets need to be changed or added, it can be definitely be installed at the same time as refacing. Many times home owners want a bigger fridge or install an ‘over the range hood’, which means that some of the cabinets would have to be shortened or made smaller in width and this can be done along with refacing a kitchen.
Cost-wise, Refacing will save you over half of the cost of replacing a kitchen and take a fraction of the time that it takes to replace it. The dust level and inconvenience is also very low with refacing since in many cases the homeowner can leave the contents of the cabinets as is.
Finally a word of caution for homeowners who are lured by the ‘advertised’ low prices for a completely new kitchen. One must fully investigate if all costs are covered and get it in writing from the company. There are many hidden costs like the cost for demolishing the existing kitchen, cost for undoing the plumbing, transportation costs, cost for installing the new kitchen, cost for hooking up plumbing and appliances could all be added costs.
