Refinishing or Refacing—How to Choose the Right Option

Choosing between refinishing and refacing your cabinets can make a significant difference in transforming your space.

Refinishing involves changing the color or finish of a cabinet by carefully sanding or removing the existing finish and then applying new paint or stain.

Alternatively, refacing entails replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts with brand new ones. We apply new veneer or material to the cabinet frames or drawers to match the new doors. In some cases, you may also need to replace side panels, moldings, or face framings.

If you're not satisfied with the style of your kitchen cabinets, refacing might be the ideal solution. However, if budget is a concern, refinishing offers a more affordable option.

Choosing the Right Finish: Painting, Staining, or Glazing Your Kitchen Cabinets

When it's time to refinish your kitchen cabinets, you have three choices: painting, staining, or glazing. Each finish technique provides a distinct look for your kitchen.

For instance, staining brings out the natural grain of your cabinets and adds rich color tones by darkening wood features.

On the other hand, painting creates a smooth and solid color that gives your kitchen a fresh style without requiring any replacements. Five Star Painting of Yorkville’s team of professionals has the expertise and experience needed to enhance any kitchen with a professional paint job.

Lastly, glazing cabinets adds dimension and contrast by applying glaze on top of stained or painted surfaces to enhance their appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cabinet Refinishing

Is it cheaper to refinish or replace cabinets?

Refinishing cabinets is usually more affordable than replacing them. Replacing involves removing existing cabinets and installing new ones, which incurs additional costs for wood, hardware, tools, and labor.

Should I refinish or replace my kitchen cabinets?

The choice between refinishing and replacing depends on the condition of your current cabinets and your goals for the kitchen. If you don't want to change the cabinet arrangement, refinishing can provide a fresh look with new paint or stain without breaking the bank. However, if the cabinets are in poor condition, replacement may be necessary.

How do I prepare my kitchen cabinets for refinishing?

Follow these four steps to prepare your kitchen cabinets for refinishing:

Step 1: Evaluate the condition of your cabinets.

If the existing paint is in good shape, painted surfaces can simply be repainted. Otherwise, old paint will need to be removed.

Step 2: Empty cabinets and remove doors.

Emptying the cabinets is crucial as refinishing creates dust and mess. Remove doors, drawers, and hardware while labeling each piece using painters' tape.

Step 3: Clean surfaces and repair damages.

Use TSP cleaner to eliminate grease and dirt from all surfaces. Repair any dents or holes with a wood filler.

Step 4: Protect the area and sand.

Cover countertops and appliances before sanding the cabinets.

Step 5: Vacuum the space.

Ensure all surfaces are dust-free by using a vacuum and tack cloth before painting.
