Reface Cabinets And Redo Your Kitchen

The kitchen is often the focal point of the home

. Many people use their kitchen as a place to visit with family, for fond cooking memories with the kids, and even as a central hub for all a family's activities. But what if your kitchen looks outdated and is showing its age? Sometimes you can buy a new house and love everything but the cabinets in the kitchen. When you want to redo your kitchen, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to completely remodel the kitchen. Instead, you can simply reface. Cabinets can look like new when you reface them.

It takes a lot less time to reface. Cabinets that are refaced take only days, while it can take weeks to do a complete remodel of the kitchen. This makes the idea to reface cabinets rather than remodel a popular one among people who don't want to deal with all the hassle that comes from having to figure out some other way of doing what they normally do while their kitchen is remodeled. It's also a lot easier on families who have young children, the disabled, or the elderly, as there is much less interruption of regular routines.

So just how do you reface cabinets? It actually is very simple. You don't have to remove the boxes that actually make up your cabinets. You simply remove the drawer fronts and the doors. Then you re-skin the box faces with a new veneer surface, replace the doors and the drawer fronts with brand new ones. If you want to, you can add new drawers boxes, pullout shelving or other kitchen convenience items. It's also the perfect time to replace the functional hardware such as knobs, hinges and drawer slides.

Because of the varying sizes of cabinet doors, cabinet doors are rarely if ever kept in stock. Measure carefully with a tape measure that measures to 1/16th of an inch at the very least and you'll be able to order your new cabinet doors just fine.

While you shouldn't reface cabinets without any know how, with some research, some mid-level skills you should be able to do a good job. Read up on refacing, gather the right tools, look at different cabinets to figure out what you want, and measure carefully and you should have all thats necessary for you to turn your kitchen into something updated and exciting.
