Cabinet Refacing Saves Money Over Replacement?

Answer 1

For homeowners on a tight remodeling budget cabinet refacing is an economical and viable alternative to replacement. Refacing costs approximately one-third of the cost of replacement cabinets. New doors, drawers and cabinet fronts are manufactured from laminates or wood to provide new exterior surfaces. The main part of the cabinets, namely the inside storage area, stays the same, which provides the reason for overall savings. In addition to new exteriors, updated hardware such as pulls and handles may be added as well as custom trim to give cabinets an entirely new look.
