Cabinet Refacing - What is it? How Much Does it Cost?

Q: What is Cabinet Refacing?

A: In short, Cabinet refacing is a process of updating kitchen cabinets by replacing just the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, while keeping the existing cabinet framework intact. It's a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to give your kitchen a fresh look.

Q: What makes Cabinet Refacing a greener choice than other options? A: Not only do we offer 90% recycled material doors as an option but we recycle all your old metal. instead of throwing away entire cabinets and all the material, mostly only the drawers and doors are thrown away. Unfortunately, because every kitchen is custom made, re-stores don't normally take our old doors. If keeping your project green is really important to you, specifically in townhouse complexes or apartment buildings, your neighbours might be interested in your old doors so ask them before we take them with us.

Q: Should I replace or reface? A: At Golden Age Refacing, we offer both refacing and brand-new kitchens or a combination of both. The decision whether to replace or reface your cabinets depends on several factors such as your budget, current cabinets' condition, and desired outcome.

Consider replacing if:

- Your cabinets are structurally damaged or in poor condition.

- You want to change the layout or configuration of your cabinets.

- You're looking for a completely new style or design.

Consider refacing if:

- Your cabinet boxes are in good condition and structurally sound.

- You're happy with the current layout and functionality of your cabinets.

- You want to update the appearance of your cabinets without the cost and hassle of a full replacement. Ultimately, both options have their pros and cons, so it's essential to weigh your priorities and consult with our team to determine the best solution for your specific needs.
