This Holiday Season, Give Your Kitchen a Make-Over With Cabinet Refacing

December 14, 2022

The holiday season often brings more cooking, entertaining, and activity into the kitchen. If worn doors, drawer fronts, or exterior cabinet surfaces are affecting the room, cabinet refacing may be one way to update compatible cabinet boxes while keeping the existing layout.

Plan the Project Before the Holidays

Start with a consultation that reviews cabinet-box condition, measurements, door styles, colors, finishes, hardware, and site conditions. Cabinet boxes with structural or water damage may require repair or replacement, so the proposed scope should be documented before product preparation or scheduling begins.

A Cabinet Refacing Process

When the existing cabinet boxes are compatible with refacing, the project plan may include:

• Step 1: Measure and document the current cabinet layout.
• Step 2: Select doors, drawer fronts, colors, finishes, hinges, pulls, and knobs.
• Step 3: Remove the selected doors and drawer fronts and prepare applicable cabinet surfaces.
• Step 4: Apply the approved exterior materials and install the selected components.
• Step 5: Make adjustments, clean the work area, and review the completed project.

Scheduling and Kitchen Access

Project timing depends on measurements, selections, material availability, cabinet condition, and installation scope. Ask how the kitchen will be used during each phase, what areas need to be cleared, and when products and installers are expected. A written schedule can help coordinate cabinet work with holiday plans and other home projects.

Cabinet Reface Direct Project Support

Cabinet Reface Direct coordinates consultation, measurements, product selections, and installation planning. We provide residential and commercial cabinet refacing consultations for kitchens, bathrooms, and other compatible cabinet spaces.

During the consultation, review door samples and color choices in the project space. After the measurements, selections, and site conditions are reviewed, Cabinet Reface Direct can prepare a written estimate describing the proposed work.

Retaining compatible cabinet boxes can also reduce the amount of material removed during the project. The condition of the existing boxes and the approved scope determine what can remain in place.
