The total expense associated with updating the visible surfaces of existing kitchen storage units is a significant consideration for homeowners. This process involves replacing doors, drawer fronts, and potentially covering the exterior of the cabinet boxes with new veneer or laminate. For instance, a typical kitchen with 20-30 doors and drawers could have a refacing project.
Undertaking this kind of renovation offers a cost-effective alternative to complete cabinet replacement, preserving the existing layout and functionality of the kitchen. Historically, refacing has been a favored option for those seeking a refreshed aesthetic without the extensive demolition and reconstruction inherent in installing entirely new cabinetry.
