We replace the cabinet doors, drawer fronts and hardware to give your cabinets a new look, while keeping the original cabinet boxes in place. This is perfect for homeowners who want to upgrade their kitchen or bathroom without the hassle and expense of a full cabinet replacement.
Cabinet refacing can be done on any type of cabinets, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity cabinets and more. The process involves the following steps:
Is refacing cheaper than replacing?
Absolutely! Cabinet refacing is a much more budget-friendly option compared to completely replacing your cabinets. While a full cabinet overhaul can set you back around $15,000 to $25,000 for a small to medium size kitchen, refacing usually falls between $5,900 and $12,000, depending on your kitchen's size and the materials you select. With refacing, we keep your existing cabinet boxes, swap out the doors and drawer fronts, apply a top-notch veneer, and update the hardware. This gives your kitchen a fresh, modern vibe without breaking the bank. It's an ideal choice if your cabinets are in good shape and you love your current layout!
How long does veneer last?
High-quality cabinet veneer can last 15 to 20 years or more with proper care. The durability depends on several factors:
Material - Real wood veneer and premium laminates are more durable than low-cost options.
Installation quality - Professional application ensures the veneer adheres properly and resists peeling.
Care & maintenance - Regular cleaning with mild soap and water, and avoiding excess moisture or harsh chemicals, will keep your veneer looking great for years.
At Ideal Home Improvement, we use premium-grade veneer materials and expert techniques to ensure your refaced cabinets stand the test of time, giving you long-lasting beauty at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Is it a good idea to reface cabinets?
Yes, in most cases, refacing kitchen and bathroom cabinets is worth it. If you’re happy with the current layout and your cabinets are in good structural condition, then cabinet refacing can be a good option for you. It is a cost-effective way to update your kitchen's look without replacing your cabinets entirely.
Refacing involves replacing doors, drawer fronts, moldings, toe kicks, hardware, and refacing the exteriors of the cabinet boxes with a matching wood veneer or thermofoil. Refacing cabinets is much less disruptive than complete replacement and will save you up to 50%.
Is it better to reface cabinet or buy new?
When it comes to your cabinets, it really boils down to your budget and the state of what you currently have. If your cabinet boxes are still in good shape and you’re just looking for a fresh vibe without diving into a full remodel, refacing is a great option; it’s quicker and can save you 30–50% compared to getting brand new cabinets. On the flip side, if your cabinets are damaged, not well arranged, or you’re dreaming of a big design overhaul, then investing in new cabinets is the way to go, even if it means spending a bit more and waiting longer for installation.
Do refaced cabinets look cheap?
When done right, cabinet refacing can be just as impressive as a full remodel. At Ideal Home Improvement, we take pride in using top-notch materials, like genuine wood veneers and custom solid cabinet doors, to make sure your refaced cabinets look absolutely gorgeous, all while saving you money. It’s a smart, budget-friendly choice that can give your kitchen a fresh, modern vibe without skimping on quality.
