What are the reasons for renovating, rather than a simple repaint or a complete renovation, you might ask?
Reason 1
As simple as that. With repainting, you get a low price, but you don’t really get anything new. Just a color change sprayed over your old cabinets. It is like bandaging a broken leg. It looks good for a while, but soon you will start to see the same old problems of broken doors, cracked drawers, ugly old style streaks, and eventually the repaint starts to peel. This leaves you back where you started, just a few thousand dollars poorer because now you have to do the job again.
Reason 2
With a kitchen renovation, it can cost tens of thousands of dollars. New cabinets, new counters, flooring, plumbing, electrical, permits. The list goes on and on. Also, the average remodel can take months. Do you want to be without your kitchen for 2-3 months? I do not believe it.
REASON 3
With siding, you get all the new exterior cabinet parts without having to gut the kitchen. Most of the cabinet interiors are in very good shape compared to the exterior. This allows siding companies to use the old interior as a base for new exteriors. You get new doors and drawers in a style and color of your choice. Siding should also include soft-close hinges and drawer slides, new end panels, crown molding, and larger trim. And, in most cases, professional kitchen specialists can complete your kitchen installation in just 3 days.
WARNING
But beware! Not all siding companies are the same! Some companies only cover old cabinet boxes with a sticker to match new doors. Not only is it poor quality and will peel off in 5-7 years, but it looks tacky because when you open your cabinet doors there is still old wood and color in the frames. No thanks!
With refacing, refuse to wear stickers! Instead, professionals will remove your old frames and build entirely new ones. Not only does this give you a high-quality product, it also allows you the flexibility to reconfigure doors and drawers for a better organizational layout and narrower door space. When the frames are built, Kitchen Master will finish them in the same color as your new doors and trim. Finally, they will install them in their cabinets and voila! Do you have a new looking kitchen that will last over 20 years. You don’t even have to remove your existing countertop to get the job done (unless you want to).
