Question 4

What is the difference between Cabinet Refacing & Cabinet Refinishing?

Accepted Answer

Cabinet refacing as described above is bring in new cabinet doors, fronts and moldings and plywood material to install on top of your current cabinet boxes.  Cabinet refinishing is the attempt to remove the current stain and finish from your cabinet, re-stain the cabinets in your home.  This does not allow you to change the type of wood and grain structure your cabinets are currently made out of.

Question 5

What is a better long term solution to update cabinets, refacing or refinishing?"

Accepted Answer

We feel as professionals in this space that refacing is a better value on the money spent in your home.  Painting or staining any sort of woodworking or cabinets in a spray booth and controlled environment provided a superior level of finish that is incredibly difficult to produce in a home.  Not only are we using brand new wood that is ready for a beautiful finish to be applied, there is a lot of risk involved in attempting to remove old stains and paints in a home that has been lived in and hope that the new coating put on top of old cabinets will last, will have a high quality feel and touch and last long term in areas like kitchens and bathrooms that see a lot of wear and tear.  Typically when homeowners are looking to make a change in their kitchen, they are also looking for a change to add a personal touch to a home they bough as is, or want to change want they installed years ago when they first bought their home.  Refacing allows the option to move into a variety of different wood species that provide many different grain patterns, stain color options, or paints of your choosing.  With cabinet refinishing you are left to utilize the wood your cabinets were made from.  Refacing is also less invasive as we aren't spraying finishes in your home, eliminiating your kithcen usages for several days, create a lot of extra dust and smell.
