Cabinet refacing involves taking off your old cabinet doors and drawer fronts, then replacing or refinishing them, along with refinishing the cabinet boxes. This project is very DIY-friendly and can be easily tackled by motivated homeowners. One of the main advantages of refacing instead of replacing is that you avoid the mess and hassle of removing the entire cabinet structure. This means your kitchen won’t be in disarray for long, so you won’t have to resort to a camping stove or be without your kitchen for weeks.
