Arizona Cabinet Refacing

With cabinet refacing, you can easily, affordably and quickly get a new look for your dated cabinets. Cabinet refacing is completed using a wide variety of materials, colors and styles to rejuvenate old cabinets without the need to replace the entire cabinet, allowing you to save money without compromising on design options. Best of all, refacing all of your cabinets typically takes less than a week.

Design Options

With so many options available, it is a good idea to get as many estimates as possible. Each design team can walk you through their catalog of materials and design options allowing you to choose your favorite cabinet faces, hardware, drawers and doors. When receiving multiple estimates, it is a good idea to get a cost breakdown list of materials and labor costs. This can help you to compare costs between installers easier and with more precision, while providing you with as many design options as possible.

Veneer vs. Solid Wood

Besides choosing your new doors and veneers, you’ll need to choose between materials. Cabinet doors come in two different mediums—solid wood and MDF/plywood veneer covered. Solid wood has its benefits in that it is just as sturdy as it is beautiful. Veneer faced materials are cheaper and are faced with a thin skin of hardwood wrapped around a plywood or medium density fiberboard core.

Cabinet Hardware

Not all cabinet refacing companies offer the replacement of hardware. Knobs, pulls, handles and hinges may or may not be replaced with your project. In some cases, a homeowner may want to install their own hardware or leave the old hardware in place. Ensure a list of materials used on your cabinet refacing job is written into the bid before signing any contracts.

Changing the Layout

Sometimes, getting the most out of your kitchen remodeling project involves adding new cabinet space. Even small additions to cabinet spaces can add up quickly during a refacing project. If you’re making changes to the layout, you may want to get a few cabinet companies to bid on replacing the cabinets as it may be more cost effective to go with brand new cabinets than refacing them if you’re planning on making drastic changes to the cabinet layout.
