Thanks

I had those ugly Euro style cabinets that are oak on the outside with beige laminate doors with a strip of oak across them as a handle. I ordered all new doors from Lowes and matched up the color to the sides of the cabinets. All I had to do was replace the doors. It came out beautiful and I spent about $1500 for my whole kitchen. Easy to do as well.
My mom did it and it turned out great. I’m looking into it now, I cant afford new cabinets.
Had mine done by an independent carpenter cost allot less than a whole new set they look and turned out great and I did the staining and varnishing put on 3 coats looks like glass should run no more than 800 to 1200 and be well worth it.Bet a carpenter who has a router table who can router the edges to where you cannot even tell they were refaced.
Its better than tearing out the whole kitchen because you only need to replace the front. Sears is OK but they use using sub contractors, so your paying a lot more to cover all the advertising Sears does. Home Depot has been on every consumer advocate show on TV full of horrer stories from unhappy customers, best bet call a few small companies from the newspaper and yellow pages and talk to their references.
