Cabinets: To Replace or Reface?

When looking for new kitchen cabinets, one of the biggest choices is whether to replace or reface.

• Replacing means completely removing the cabinets, fronts, and boxes and replacing them with brand new cabinets.
• Refacing (also called refinishing) means using the existing boxes and replacing just the cabinet fronts.

Refacing your cabinets may be an option if:

• Your budget is limited.
• You’re generally satisfied with the size, type, and location of your cabinets.
• Your cabinets have a dated style.
• Your cabinets have non-working elements, such as hinges or slides.
• You want to improve the value of your home at a minimal cost.
