Reface your kitchen cabinets in Troy, NY if the boxes are plywood or solid wood, square and dry, and you are happy with where everything is. Replace them if the layout is changing, the boxes are swollen particleboard, or you want different sizes and storage inside. Refacing runs about a third to half the cost of new cabinets and takes a week instead of a month.
What refacing actually is
The cabinet boxes stay on the wall. We replace every door and drawer front, cover the visible box sides and face frames with matching veneer or laminate, and install new hinges, slides and hardware. From the front it reads as a new kitchen. Inside the cabinets it is the same shelves you have now.
Signs the boxes are worth keeping
- Doors still close square and the frames are not racked.
- No swelling, delamination or soft spots under the sink or by the dishwasher.
- The layout works. You are not moving the sink, range or fridge.
- You want more storage inside, which pull-outs and inserts can add to existing boxes.
Signs to replace
- Particleboard boxes that have seen a leak. They never go back to square.
- The layout is changing or you want an island, taller uppers or a pantry cabinet.
- The cabinets are builder grade from the 90s in a Lansingburgh or Brunswick house and the shelves sag.
What we do on the first visit
Open every cabinet, check the boxes and the plumbing walls, and tell you which one you are looking at. We price both when it is a close call so you can decide on the number.
