Re: Anyone have there kitchen cabinets refaced??
my sister and parents refaced their kitchen. it looks great! it's hard to tell the difference. they both used home depot. they went to the store, picked out what they wanted and home depot came in and refaced. and i think they got a great price.

Kitchen refacing if done right is the same cost as buying a new kitchen. Totally not worth it.

My mom had this done 5 years ago with Sears and it cost her $8,000 with new counters. I didn't think it was worth it when you can buy new cabinets for that price, IMO!

I agree. This is why we just painted our old dark cabinets to white. They were formica and I think they came out great for what it cost us (like $50  )

DH is a kitchen and bathroom contractor and this is the absolute truth. Many people don't realize this.

we are refacing this week. We priced both and originally were going with all new. But although the cabinets may be the same price, after you add all the labor. It is NOT the same price. We got quotes for both and just could not afford a new kitchen. My neighbor and my mother used this company and both have great looking kitchens.

Considering that my DH does this for a living, believe me when I assure you that all labor is NOT the same. Some jobs are more involved than others. For YOUR kitchen, it may have been cheaper to reface than install all new cabinets. But that is not necessarily the norm.

We have refaced cabinets that were done by the previous owner and I hate them. I can't wait to rip them out and put new ones up.
