Do I Have To Replace My Cabinets Or Can They Be Refinished?

While every situation is different here are a few things to think about when considering a complete kitchen remodel. There are many different grades or levels of quality when it comes to kitchen cabinets. If yours are inexpensive box (mass produced) cabinets and are showing signs of wear and tear, scratches, dings, loose or broken hinges, fading finish, and so on, it does not make good sense to do every thing else involved in a kitchen remodel and  try to save cheapo cabinets. Particle board construction is almost always an indicator of cheapo cabinets. (Like you needed me to tell you any of that, just common sense, right?) On the other hand many older kitchens have well built solid wood cabinets that are absolutely worth refinishing if you are satisfied with the wood species. We have found refinishing saves about 75% over replacement.  Refinish in some cases will make the cabinets better than new, because of the quality workmanship done by our refinish specialists.  Our premium option, that is 7 days from tear out to completion of the remodel project is not available for jobs involving cabinet refinish because of on site painting requirements.
