Understanding the Process of Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
#image_title
Kitchen cabinet refacing is all about breathing new life into your kitchen by updating the surfaces you see every day.
From cabinet faces to exposed ends and crown moldings, refacing kitchen cabinetry offers a seamless transformation. To ensure you’re choosing the right approach, it's best to have a professional evaluate your kitchen refacing options.
While painting isn't technically refacing, it can certainly freshen up cabinets. Using proper techniques and paints, like 2k polyurethane finishes, is crucial for a lasting result.
Proper surface prep ensures durability: many painters mask the kitchen area and spray the cabinets at home, completing the doors in their shop.
Replace Cabinet Doors and Drawer Fronts
Another great refacing method is updating drawer fronts, doors, and hinges.
This approach is perfect if your finish remains intact but you're aiming for a style update.
Embrace any door style, incorporate soft-close concealed hinges, and give your cabinetry a modern overlay.
You can even transform your kitchen's color entirely by replacing doors and adding painted skins to all exposed ends, including crown moldings and baseboards.
Painted or Wood Look?
Craving a wood look? Refacing lets you change wood species, whether you're switching honey oak cabinets to natural cherry, stained cherry, or rift white oak. Kitchen refacing with real wood is ideal for capturing that traditional warmth without a hefty cost.

Benefits of Kitchen Cabinet Refacing vs. Full Replacement
Are there benefits to refacing over replacing all your cabinets? Absolutely!
- First of all, you're keeping your cabinets out of the landfill!
- Also, with all the options available today for cabinet refacing, it makes a lot of sense to update your kitchen this way. You can select from an endless amount of colors, styles, and storage solutions. There's as many options with refacing as there are in high end custom cabinetry!
- Down-time for construction is also much less when refacing over complete removal and installation of new cabinets.
- Budget is another consideration when redoing cabinets.
- While many of our clients replace their countertops and backsplash when refacing their kitchens, it's not a requirement when refinishing a kitchen. This can be a huge savings if budget is a concern.
- Refacing, when done right, will last as long as a new kitchen, and even longer if your cabinets are already of good quality! Many new stock cabinets are simply not built that well, and may actually be a downgrade to your kitchen.
Will Refacing Your Kitchen Meet Your Expectations?
Many of our customers' expectations are exceeded by simply changing the color, style, and feel of the kitchen. It's like getting a brand new kitchen without all the added time, cost, and renovation required for new cabinets.
The only time it makes more sense to replace your cabinets is if your cabinets are not structurally sound anymore, or you want to make major changes in the layout.

Is Cabinet Refacing Worth the Investment?
Investing in cabinet refacing is definitely a smart choice for enhancing your kitchen. Refacing cabinets not only elevates the aesthetic appeal but also significantly boosts the value of your kitchen, often rivaling the investment for brand new cabinets.
Styles
With modern styles, updated colors, and sleek hardware, you can give your kitchen a refreshed feel that resonates with new cabinetry. In fact, high-quality refacing materials can sometimes surpass the quality of new stock cabinets available today!
Quality Materials
At Homestead Cabinet Design, we encourage you to explore our variety of cabinetry materials, doors, and hardware samples. The robustness of our cabinet doors ensures durability, unlike cheap cabinet doors.
Best Hinges and Slides
Plus, we utilize top-of-the-line Blum hinges and drawer slides, renowned in the industry for their smooth soft-close action and easy adjustability.
Durable Finish
Our standout feature is our durable 2k finish, comparable to those used on high-end custom cabinets, ensuring superior water resistance and scratch resistance around handles. And with nearly zero VOCs, there's no concern about off-gassing solvents in your home.
It's worthwhile to get a comprehensive quote for both refacing services and new cabinets to weigh your options effectively in your kitchen remodeling journey.

DIY Cabinet Refacing vs. Hiring Professionals
Looking to save on labor costs? If you're handy with tools and have a knack for painting, there are aspects of cabinet refacing you can tackle yourself.
Some of our clients have successfully painted their kitchen cabinets using brushes and rollers, while we at Holtz Cabinetry provide the new cabinet doors, hinges, and professional installation.
Should You Paint Your Own Cabinets?
Painting your own cabinet doors is an option, but be aware that it's a sizable task if you want it done right. Hiring professionals ensures that your kitchen cabinets are expertly handled, with all cabinet surfaces properly prepared, and doors and drawers precisely installed and adjusted.
Experienced services usually come with all the specialized equipment needed to achieve a smooth, factory-like finish. Unless you're equipped with the necessary spray painting tools and experience, learning that process from scratch can be daunting.
A good compromise is to DIY paint just the cabinet frames and faces using high-quality brushes and rollers—our team can recommend some—and then let us supply the new, spray-painted cabinet doors. With most of your cabinets covered by freshly painted doors, even using a larger overlay for a full look, any minor brush marks won't be noticeable.

Cabinet Refacing Costs: A Comprehensive Guide
Considering cabinet refacing or a complete kitchen remodeling? Here's a friendly breakdown of cabinet refacing costs. At Homestead Cabinet Design we offer various cabinet refacing options to fit your budget, from economy MDF doors to stunning paint-grade maple or any custom domestic wood species.
Wood Pricing
While rift-cut white oak is currently trending, cherry and maple are also excellent choices for cabinetry. Be aware, though, staining may be a bit pricier than a clear-coated natural finish that can beautifully brighten your kitchen.
Number of Doors Etc.
The number of kitchen doors, drawers, and exposed cabinet sides will also impact the costs. Many don't realize their island or peninsula backs need resurfacing too.
Optional Drawers, Pullouts, and Organizers
Cabinet refacing isn't just about the exterior; it can include upgrades like replacing drawer boxes and slides, adding rollout drawers, pantry organizers, or chic trash pullouts. Generally, refacing costs about half the price of new cabinetry, a wise option compared to the hidden costs of new installations, like plumbing or electrical rework.
Average Price of a Kitchen Refacing Project
While many kitchen remodels range from $25,000 to $50,000, refacing typically runs between $10,000 and $20,000. Our services at Homestead Cabinet Design will guide you from start to finish, ensuring you find the perfect cabinet solution that aligns with your vision and budget.

Budgeting for Your Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Project
Planning your budget for a kitchen cabinet refacing project at Homestead Cabinet Design is key to achieving the best return on your investment.
Start by assessing your home's value to determine the appropriate scope of your kitchen remodel. If you're considering substantial changes like wall renovations, aim to keep your spending within 20% of the home's value. However, if your remodel focuses on refacing kitchen cabinets, countertops, and floors without any structural wall changes, try to stay around 15% of your home's value.
Key budget items include cabinets—often the biggest ticket on the list—countertops, backsplash, and flooring. Remember, decisions made in refacing cabinets can keep overall costs lower compared to replacing them entirely. This allows you the flexibility to allocate more funds toward dream appliances and other design features.
Generally, new cabinets might take up 35-60% of a remodel budget, so cabinet refacing is an effective move for budget-savvy homeowners. Refacing helps maintain a well-designed yet cost-efficient kitchen remodel.
