With replacement door and drawer fronts from Affordable Cabinet Refacing, you can enjoy a spectacular kitchen transformation—for much less
By Ken McEntee
A bright, clean and updated kitchen seems to intensify the delight of a cup of morning coffee. Unfortunately, many people don’t have the time—or budget—to undergo the full kitchen renovation they fantasize about as they gaze dispassionately at their dated cabinets.
Fortunately, Affordable Cabinet Refacing offers a way resuscitate your drab kitchen for about a third of the cost—and a fraction of the time—of a full-blown remodeling project, promises Christina Walbolt, co-owner of the company.
“Cabinet refacing is an exciting updating option that many homeowners are just starting to learn about,” says Christina. “We knew from our decades of experience in the home improvement business that people want a fast and hassle-free path to kitchen transformation at a lower price than remodeling. That’s why we started Affordable Cabinet Refacing last year.”
Refacing involves installing new doors and hardware to existing cabinets.
“As long as the cabinet boxes themselves are in good condition, meaning they’re not water damaged or the drawers are not broken, we are able to keep those existing boxes,” Christina adds. “We install all new doors and drawer fronts and new hardware, including handles and hinges—and soft-close hinges come standard with us. People can choose different colors and different styles, just like they are selecting a brand-new kitchen. The exposed parts of the boxes are refurbished to match the new doors.”
Keeping existing boxes in place eliminates the inconvenience of living without an intact kitchen for weeks, Christina emphasizes.
“When you do a total replacement, between gutting the old and installing the new, it can get very messy,” she observes. “People can be without their kitchens for a quite a while and nobody likes that. Our refacing process normally takes two or three days, and the best part is your kitchen is generally fully functional the whole time. You still have use of your countertops and sink.”
The process is simple, Christina explains.
“We come to your home and take measurements and provide you with door samples to choose from,” she says. “You make your selections and we provide a quote. Typically, your new doors come in within two or three weeks, then it takes just a couple days to get them installed by our skilled installation team. The entire process generally takes as little as half the time it normally takes just to get new cabinets delivered.”
And, Christina assures, your new doors will always fit perfectly with your drawers and cabinets.
“Everything is custom-made,” she says. “We measure every single cabinet door space and drawer front and we match the new doors up perfectly. We sometimes find houses with odd-sized cabinet doors that may not even be right for the cabinets. No worries. We will adjust accordingly.”
Christina suggests that refacing is a particularly efficient and affordable option for recent home buyers who want an upgrade, as well as sellers who want to put their home on the market quickly.
“Most of our customers are just tired of looking at their dated cabinets,” she confides. “The cabinets aren’t in real bad condition, so they don’t really want to spend the money for a full remodel. We give them a convenient, cost-effective solution to a dazzling new kitchen.”
