If you're like most homeowners, you want to preserve the present layout of your kitchen cabinets. The best way is to refresh and update the kitchen cabinets' appearance. Cabinet refacing which is often known as cabinet resurfacing is the way to go. It allows you to preserve your old kitchen while changing its appearance.
Smart Remodeling LLC offers quick and affordable cabinet refacing in Houston. We provide excellent options for upgrading and enhancing your kitchen cabinets. We do this at a fraction of the cost of replacing them entirely.
Cabinet refacing is the removal and replacement of cabinet skin panels. This involves removing the doors and drawer fronts. New veneers are then added to the surface of the cabinet's body. During the cabinet refacing process, the hinges, knobs, and drawer pulls are also changed.
Our company, Smart Remodeling LLC based in Houston TX has well-trained employees. We will take meticulous measurements to guarantee that your new refaced cabinet boxes are seamless. We will also color-match cabinets to your new doors and drawer fronts. You will also have the option of selecting new hinges, knobs and/or pulls, and molding to make the change complete.
Our experienced and trained installers will perform our distinctive cabinet refacing process to give you the best results.
There are four main steps to resurfacing and revitalizing your kitchen cabinets are as follows.
To prepare your kitchen for refacing, your current doors and drawers will first have to be removed.
1/4" of high-grade plywood will be glued to your existing cabinet frames. This will be the first layer of our unique double-lamination refacing process.
The outside finish will then be added. This will be the second layer of lamination depending on your choice of wood or laminate veneer.
To match your refaced cabinets, we will also install new cabinet doors and drawer fronts. We will also install optional drawer boxes if need be. The kitchen refacing project is then finished with new hinges and hardware. (Kitchen Up, 2021)

When deciding on a kitchen redesign, the benefits and drawbacks of cabinet refacing should be carefully weighed.
The Pros
Refacing keeps them out of landfills. It also prevents the feeling of fresh trees for the construction of new custom cabinet boxes.
The Cons
Should the existing cabinets be well-built and in good shape, a different design may not be wanted. The cabinet refacing process might be a solid, cost-effective option for kitchen remodeling for this. It's also an excellent option if the current kitchen layout is functional.
You may be better off replacing them entirely if the existing cabinets have structural issues. This will also be the way to go if the existing cabinets are in bad condition, or lack internal storage features.
