Cabinet Refacing vs. Refacing Plus: Which Option is Best for Your Kitchen?
When it comes to transforming your kitchen, cabinet refacing is an excellent option for homeowners looking to update and uplift their space without the cost and time investment of a full remodel. However, not all refacing services are the same. Kitchen Tune-Up offers both cabinet refacing and Refacing Plus, each providing unique benefits to suit different needs and budgets. Let’s dive into the differences and advantages of both options to help you decide which is best for your kitchen upgrade.
Cabinet Refacing: A Fresh Look, Effortlessly
Cabinet Refacing is a popular choice for homeowners who want to update their kitchen without replacing their existing cabinet boxes. This process involves:
- Replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts with brand-new ones.
- Applying veneer to the cabinet box sides and face frames to match the new doors.
- Updating hardware to enhance the kitchen’s aesthetic and functionality.
Benefits of Cabinet Refacing:
- Cost-Effective – More affordable than a full cabinet replacement.
- Quick Turnaround – Typically completed in only a few days as no demolition of current cabinetry is necessary.
- Minimal Disruption – Since the cabinet boxes remain in place, there’s little mess or inconvenience.
- Eco-Friendly – Reduces waste because the cabinet boxes remain in place.
Refacing Plus: Taking Refacing to the Next Level
Refacing Plus includes all the features of standard cabinet refacing but allows for additional modifications that enhance functionality and aesthetics. This option is perfect for homeowners who want a more custom look without committing to a full remodel. With Refacing Plus, you can:
- Modify cabinet layouts by adding or removing sections.
- Upgrade by modifying cabinets to allow for new or larger appliances, create space for a dishwasher, or relocate appliances for a new layout.
- Add or expand an island
- Add crown molding, decorative panels, or other custom features for a high-end finish.
- Add small cabinets above existing wall cabinets to extend them to the ceiling, available with or without glass doors for a stylish, customized look.
- Convert base cabinets into drawer stacks, improving storage and accessibility.
- Create a beverage center or coffee station, enhancing convenience and kitchen functionality.
Benefits of Refacing Plus:
- Increased Customization – More design flexibility to personalize your kitchen.
