The cabinets are metal and we’ve painted them enough and want to change them inexpensively. Maybe door and drawer refacing or replacement? We don’t want to take the cabinets out.

hi, thanks so much for volunteering! My uncle have a couple of condos I’m going to be selling. The kitchens are pretty dated. One has very simple cabinets with just flat, plywood doors that I’ve painted in the past. The other has what I think are probably veneer covered cabinets. Can these both be refaced? And is it worth it? Any idea of the cost for a small kitchen? I’d really rather not replace all the cabinets, but I don’t want it to look like junk either, just to save money. Thanks!

I plan on refacing my kitchen cabinets and replacing the existing countertop and sink. Which should be done first? The cabinets or countertop and sink? Thanks.

My kitchen is 13×13. I am interested in redoing the look of the cabinets. There are about 20 all together. Whats a rough estimate?? I was thinking light oak no fancy crown molding.

I’m especially interested in Sears, but generally, was it successful? Are you happy with the results? We have a very plain oak-ish kitchen – not solid wood stuff… I’m interested in refacing things and maybe changing colors. I also need a new sink, faucet, and countertops. One more question, do you reface first, then change the floor, or change the floor first? We need new tile,. too! Oh yes – cost involved in refacing? We have 17 cabinet areas in about a 14 x 14 kitchen. Thanks for your answers!

I have a moderately small kitchen and i want to reface the cabinets. I was thinking white would look best so it would make the kitchen look bigger, but i really want to do a cherry/oak finish. Would that make the room look too small, and is it out of style to have white cabinets? 10pts for best answer! Thx

Our kitchen was brand new when we moved into our house. Unfortunately, it’s ugly. The cabinets were unfinished wood that was painted – and they’re two different colors top and bottom. My husband and I have gone back and forth a million times on what to do about it – whether to refinish them ourselves, replace them entirely, or have them refaced. Having them refaced seems like the most cost and time effective solution, since there’s nothing wrong with the structure of the cabinets themselves. Will refacing work on a painted surface? Is it worth it to do this, or would we be better off just saving up for brand new cabinets? Thanks.

Hello,
Just bought a 2 family house that appears to have been owned by an eccentric yet crafty man. The unit I am moving into has an “interesting” kitchen with 3 different types of cabinets (Floor cabinets/wall cabinets/island) in white and a dark and light wood finish. Its atrocious.
I went to Home Depot last night and after 30 minutes got nothing but a phone number to call since refacing is a new service for them. All I wanted to know is how much does refacing really save? If its only like 20% cheaper then I’d rather replace everything. If its half as much or something that much better then I’d rather just reface.
My parents resurfaced their cabinets in 1996 and they are still going strong so I have no problem with resurfacing.
The kitchen is not large…. I believe its less than 12 cabinets combined.. Any advice you have is super.
