Are you growing tired of the look and feel of your kitchen? It’s tough to truly enjoy the Southwest Florida lifestyle to the fullest while your home is dark and stuffy. That’s why many homeowners opt to redo their kitchen with lighter, fresher cabinets, new granite countertops, and even new stainless steel appliances. However, purchasing new kitchen cabinets may cost you more of your remodeling budget than you imaged, leaving you with little left over to finish the room. Re-facing your cabinets is much cheaper and still achieves the desired effect. Sometimes, homeowners have their cabinets re-faced and decide their kitchen looks so new, they actually feel satisfied with that room and move on to remodeling another area!
A few benefits to keep in mind include:
#1 It’s Less Expensive
Re-facing can save you between 30 and 50 percent of the cost of replacement cabinets. The existing cabinet boxes will stay in place, so you’re only paying to replace the doors and drawer fronts, as well as smaller accessories like the handles, hinges and hardware.
#2 You Can Still Choose Your Favorite Options
Don’t think you need to rip your cabinets from the wall and start all over again to get exactly the look you want. With re-facing, you can still change the type of wood, finish and door design of your cabinets.
#3 It’s Quicker
This process typically takes only a few days and you’re still able to use the kitchen during the project. Instead of being out of your much-needed room for too long, your life will barely be disrupted and the cabinets will quickly have the same appearance as a new cabinet would.
#4 You Can Actually Do More
Remodeling your home is a great investment towards a better living space and a higher resale value later on. Sometimes though, budget limitations force you to chose between remodeling two rooms, when you really want to do them both. If you opt to re-face your cabinets instead of buy new, you may just be able to do it all! You’ll get a brand-new looking kitchen, as well as bathroom, master suite, or any other project you’ve been dreaming of.
If you’re thinking of remodeling your kitchen, the cabinets may be an afterthought in your mind. This is a mistake. The cabinets are actually crucial to the overall look and feel of the room. Beattie Development has the right people to help you decide whether re-facing is the best option for your situation, or you should go for custom-made cabinets instead.
