The Difference Between Cabinet Refinishing and Cabinet Refacing

Upgrading your cabinets is often one of the most important features of a kitchen or bathroom renovation. However, replacing your cabinets is expensive and time-consuming. Not to worry, though. You can get the look and feel of new cabinets in much less time and without spending a fortune by choosing cabinet refinishing or cabinet refacing.

Can Do More Painting – Renovation & Design in Calgary can walk you through each process so you can decide what option is right for you.

Cabinet Refinishing

Cabinet refinishing, or cabinet painting, is when you keep your cabinet doors and drawer fronts and simply paint or stain them. If your cabinetry is in good shape, you can save up to 75% of the kitchen renovation cost when you go with cabinet painting in Calgary.

Can Do More Painting – Renovation & Design are experts in the Calgary cabinet refinishing industry. Their team can advise on colour options. Then, they will take your cabinets to their project site. Here, they’ll take your cabinets through a rigorous preparation process. This starts by washing and degreasing them. From there, cabinets go through a thorough sanding process to ensure uniform texture. Then a matching finish is applied to any exposed panels and frames for seamless results. All this takes place before cabinet door priming, and painting even begins.

Once your newly painted doors and drawer fronts are installed, the look is often complete with upgraded hardware. This includes new hinges, door knobs and drawer pulls. Reach out to their team today to understand how they can give your kitchen a makeover.

Cabinet Refacing

Also known as cabinet re-dooring, with this option, you keep your cabinet boxes and replace the doors and drawer fronts. A matching veneer is often applied to exposed panels and frames to complete the look.

When your cabinet doors have a little more wear and tear or need a bit more love, cabinet refacing is the way to go. Or, if your cabinetry is made of laminate or metal and therefore can’t be sanded, or the wood has deeper nicks or dings or is warping, replacing the doors and drawers of your cabinets will give them the upgrade they need without having to replace them completely. In addition, it’s a good option if you want to completely change the style of your doors more than painting can.

Benefits of each

There are pros to both cabinet refinishing in Calgary and cabinet refacing, and it’s important to always do your research. Then the question becomes, what option is best for you and your home? Also, which is the best for your budget!

One benefit of cabinet painting is less waste if your doors are in good shape. Not replacing your doors means less is going to the garbage dump. The cost of painting is also less than the cost of replacing your doors. So, if budget is top of mind, you could save a little more here.

On the other hand, cabinet refacing may cost a little more, but the benefit is an increased return on investment. This is especially true if your cabinets need a more modern feel. When you have a specific look in mind, re-dooring also means more customization, and you can get the cabinet look you’ve always wanted.
