What is the difference between Cabinet Refinishing?
If your cabinets are old and outdated, and you’re thinking about making some style changes you may be considering replacing your cabinets. Before ripping out your current kitchen cabinets and getting into a complicated remodel project you may want to consider refacing, resurfacing, or refinishing your current cabinets. Refacing, resurfacing or refinishing are more economical alternatives to replacing them entirely, especially if you’re already happy with the layout of your kitchen the way it is.
What is the difference? As mentioned above, when you are refacing your cabinets, you are putting new material on top of the existing cabinet frames and replacing doors and drawer fronts. When refinishing cabinets, all you are doing is changing the finish, or color, of the existing materials.
