Refacing vs. Replacement: What Every Homeowner Should Know

If you're considering updating your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, you've likely faced the question: Should I reface or replace? At nuDoors, we're here to break it down so you can make the most informed, and cost-effective decision for your home.

What is Refacing?

refacing involves replacing the cabinet doors and drawer fronts while keeping your existing cabinet boxes intact. Our certified installers also professionally paint the exposed cabinet frames to match the new doors, giving the cabinets a completely fresh appearance without a full remodel.

Benefits of Refacing:

• Cost-effective: Typically 40–60% less than a full cabinet replacement.

• Faster turnaround: Most refacing projects take only a few days.

• Less disruption: Your countertops, flooring, and plumbing stay untouched.

• Eco-friendly: Keeps perfectly good cabinet boxes out of the landfill.

  
  

What is Cabinet Replacement?

Cabinet replacement means removing all existing cabinetry and installing entirely new units. This is a more extensive process that may involve altering the layout, updating plumbing or electrical, and often replacing countertops.

Reasons to Replace:

• You want a completely new layout.

• Your cabinet boxes are damaged or poorly constructed.

• You're undergoing a full-scale renovation.

  
  

So, Which is Right for You?

Choose refacing if your cabinet boxes are in good shape and you're happy with your kitchen's layout, but want a fresh new look.

Opt for replacement if you're dealing with structural damage or planning a full redesign that includes moving plumbing or walls.
