What You Need To Know About Cabinet Refacing

What is Cabinet Refacing?

Cabinet refacing is a simple, affordable way to transform your kitchen. A conventional kitchen remodel can shut down your kitchen for months. Kitchen Magic Refacers, Inc, on the other hand, can make the changes you want, typically in four days or less.

We offer you a selection of genuine, hardwood cabinet doors in over 30 styles and more than 20 stains and paint colors. Your old cabinet doors and drawers will be removed and hauled away. The existing cabinet boxes are covered in a genuine, quarter-inch-thick wood veneer. We can make adjustments to the layout of your kitchen cabinets, convert drawers to cabinets and vice-versa. We can either work with your existing countertop, or install new granite, Corian®, Silestone® or laminate countertops.

Does refacing look as good as new?

How is it applied?

What are cabinet doors made of?

Solid, genuine hardwood. We offer Oak, Cherry, Birch and many other hard woods. We do not use furniture core, particleboard, MDF (medium density fiberboard), industrial grade wood, or Rigid Thermal Foil (RTF). RTF doors are no more than a heat shrink vinyl over particle board. Thousands of families have learned too late that the RTF doors can change color and curl up from heat and moisture.

Can changes be made to my kitchen design?

Absolutely! Kitchen Magic Refacers can add cabinets, relocate cabinets, add roll out shelves, replace drawers, or move walls. In addition, we can extend cabinets to ceiling, install recessed lights, and install dishwashers. Our kitchen designers and craftsman can give you the kitchen you have always wanted, inexpensively refacing saves thousands over refinishing .

What are the pros and cons of refinishing or painting?

Let’s look at the science. You can paint anything, but paint does not adhere to wax, dirt, grease, laminate, or rigid thermo foil (RTF), oil based stains, melamine and a host of other products. Chipping, wash-ability and quality of the finish is the problem plus you are stuck with the same old hinges, door style, and wood.

The harsh chemicals use to prepare or clean the doors really cannot get the dirt, stains, or gummy varnish out of the pores of the wood. Getting a superior finish with new wood is difficult in itself. If you inspect the undersides and sides of your cabinets, you will find that these are melamine (vinyl clad chip board). Re-staining these non-wood products is not an option. Are there companies who offer these services? Sure, but what is their warranty and will they be around to honor the warranty? Our 30 years in the business says it is unlikely.

Refacing is 1/3 of the cost and looks better than new. The second best reason to reface your kitchen is that it can typically be completed in four days or less, not weeks and without the mess.

Is there a design or estimate fee?
