Its no secret that a beautiful kitchen is an asset to a home whether you intend to live there or sell it. However, when home owners are on a limited budget and cannot afford to buy an entirely new kitchen, they are faced with 2 major options, either to reface their cabinets or refinish them.
‘Refacing’, is a process of completely changing the exterior of your kitchen or bathroom vanity by installing new doors and panels over your existing kitchen, while leaving the basic cupboard and shelves as is. Customers can select from modern Shaker Style doors to traditional Raised Panel doors in an array of colors including the most popular dark chocolate and off-white colors.
The advantage is that you will have a new kitchen from the outside in which ever style or color you like and that the cost is much less than that of completely replacing your kitchen.
The disadvantage is that you cannot drastically change the layout of the kitchen and the appliances as you would be able to do if you had a new kitchen built, however if you are happy with your layout, then Kitchen Refacing will work very well for you.
‘Refinishing’ is a process of stripping down the finish of your existing doors and re-staining them to a color of your choice. The advantage is that your costs are kept low and there is no major impact to your lifestyle for the duration of the project as most of the work is done at the refinisher’s workshop.
There are however several disadvantages to refinishing. Firstly, unless you are getting your doors professionally refinished by a company who does quality work, anything else will simply look unacceptable. Secondly, if the style of your doors is outdated, then no matter what you do to the finish, they will still not look like a new kitchen. The same applies to doors that have warped over the years. Last but not least is the cost factor, which in most cases costs as much as 85% of the cost of refacing.
