Your kitchen cabinets may have seen better days, but that does not mean that it’s time to tear them out and purchase new ones. In many cases, cabinet refacing can be a much easier and more cost-effective alternative. With this option, we leave the majority of your current cabinets intact and update their doors, drawer fronts, and other visible elements. Here are some of the most important things to know about choosing ReVamp Home Improvement for your cabinet refacing project in the Allentown, PA area!
Cabinet Refacing Process
Our cabinet refacing process starts with removing your cabinets’ old doors, drawer fronts, and any other components to be replaced. We then prepare the surface of your existing cabinet frames by “skinning” them with a laminate or veneer that matches your new drawers and doors. Once your new doors and drawers are fully built, painted, and sealed, we professionally install them with high-quality hardware designed to ensure your refreshed cabinets last for decades. We work closely with you throughout every step of the refacing process to select custom pieces that perfectly match your aesthetic vision.
Why Homeowners Choose Refacing Over Replacement
Tearing out your old cabinets and completely remodeling is a classic approach to changing the look and feel of your kitchen, but it is an expensive, time-consuming endeavor that may not be a good fit for everyone who would like to enjoy their kitchen a bit more. Refacing is a much simpler and more affordable process that primarily focuses on the most visible parts of your cabinets. With most projects taking under a week to complete, refacing is also a much faster process than the complex construction remodeling requires. You will also be able to continue using your kitchen throughout the process. Giving new life to cabinets you already own also keeps them out of landfills when they still have plenty of use left.
Aesthetic Transformation Without the Stress of Renovation
Renovation has its place, but it is not always as necessary as homeowners expecting to change up their kitchen’s appearance think. In many cases, updating your current cabinets can be an effective way to make your refreshed kitchen look the way you want it to. If you are satisfied with the current layout of your cabinets and they are in reasonable condition, there is probably no need to invest extra time and money into completely gutting your kitchen and starting from scratch.
We stock materials in a wide range of colors and finishes to ensure we have plenty of options for nearly any aesthetic preference. Our designers also work with clients to create custom doors and drawers that bring any vision to life. In most cases, refacing is all it takes to freshen up your kitchen without drastically altering its appearance or completely transforming its style. Your traditional cabinets are probably a perfect base for a modern or farmhouse design!
Refacing may not be the answer if your kitchen has been badly damaged or you are looking to completely overhaul a hundred-year-old home that has never been updated, but it can be well worth your consideration for many smaller projects.
