Cabinet Resurfacing vs. Refacing:
Cabinet resurfacing also known as cabinet refinishing involves removing the existing finish using a combination of chemicals, sanding and scraping all the existing cabinet parts. This process is time-consuming and at best the end result will be just a cosmetic improvement. It will not fix structural and functionality issues like warped doors, faulty door hinges and drawer glides.
Cabinet refacing on the other hand, involves completely removing everything except the cabinet frames, which are often the sturdiest part of kitchen cabinets. Once the cabinet face frames and sides are prepped, a new durable real wood veneer will be bonded over it, brand new doors with soft close hinges, drawer fronts, moldings such as crown and light rail are installed, in some cases new dovetail drawer boxes with easy close glides are also installed.
Also, with refacing you have the option to add cabinets to the existing layout, that old trash compactor that you have not used for years can be replaced with a base cabinet, always wanted a farmhouse sink? Well that can also be done during the refacing process, the list goes on, your choices are unlimited.
