To Reface or Paint Aged Cabinets ?

Today many homeowners face a minor dilemma when it comes to
updating their kitchen cabinets and hardware:

Let's boil it down to basic costs and issues of refacing cabinets or
repainting them:

• Time of order - Refacing Order 6-8 weeks on average


• Limited Colour Choices in Off the Shelf Cabinets


• Hardware Costs - negligible - 30.00 for each 2 cabinet facing


• Will the new cabinets fit ? Not all off the shelf facings fit standard cabinets


• Custom vs off the shelf cabinets - Huge Cost Differential -


• A custom oak/maple cabinet starts at 550-700.00 per each section


• and go skyward in a hurry !!


• However all being considered, there are cabinets which are broken


• or damaged and cannot be painted or repaired and in that case it definitely


• makes sense to rip out and re-do them !!!

Advantages of Painting Cabinets in Good Condition:

1/10 the cost of refacing, 6000 color choices, great new look !
