Cabinet Refacing 

Provides the stunning look without the high cost and difficult installation typical of full replacement.

A full scale kitchen remodeling, where cabinets are removed and new cabinets installed, can take weeks or months to complete. Compare that with kitchen cabinet refacing: often in just a few days, our dedicated staff measures, crafts and installs custom cabinet doors, drawers and hardware.

By refacing your cabinets instead of replacing them, you will save:

• Time
• Aggravation
• Money
• Wear and tear on other kitchen elements, such as the floor and countertops
 

Inconvenience is Major Factor With Kitchen Cabinet Replacement

When replacing kitchen cabinets, you are forced to live without cabinets for one to four weeks or more, depending on the scope of the project. This means you have to:

• Set up a temporary kitchen.
• Live with dust and dirt.
• Replace the floor if it gets damaged during the demolition.
• Repaint areas that get nicked by the demolition.
• Eat out frequently, which increases your costs.

With cabinet refacing, the project often is completed within 2 to 4 days. There is little disruption to your daily routine. And, the dust and dirt is kept to a minimum.

Low Cost of Kitchen Cabinet Refacing

Kitchen cabinet refacing is much less costly than cabinet replacement, which can cost from $15,000 to $40,000, as it typically involves remodeling the entire kitchen. The cost varies based on:

• The extent of the work.
• The room size.
• The type of wood and kitchen cabinet style.
• The use of crown molding and other details on the kitchen cabinets.

Why Reface Your Cabinets?

If you’re happy with your floor and countertops but hate your cabinets then cabinet refacing is an extremely easy way to transform your kitchen. Refacing instead of replacing is a quick and affordable way to remodel. We will remove your old kitchen cabinet doors, drawer fronts, glides and hardware and install new ones at about half the cost of cabinet replacement. When you choose to reface your cabinets you eliminate the need to reconfigure cabinets, modify plumbing or wiring so projects are done super fast and with minimal inconvenience.

With our in home consultations you are able to shop at your kitchen table and visualize the possibilities all in the comfort of your home! How else will you know if the colors you choose will look great in your home?

Cabinet refacing recycles your existing cabinet boxes reducing the amount of materials sent to the landfill as well as reducing the amount of resources needed to update your cabinets. Cabinet refacing is recognized as an environmentally preferred process.

Most people are happy with the general layout of their kitchen but want to update worn and outdated cabinets. That’s why refacing; instead of replacing, makes the most sense economically and ecologically. In a matter of days we will add new doors, drawer fronts, drawer boxes, glides and hardware to your existing cabinets at roughly half the cost of new ones, and all without the hassle and inconvenience of removing your old cabinetry. Details such as crown, base and trim molding, roll-out shelves and new handles or knobs complete the transformation.

Indoor Air Quality

A very important environmental benefit of cabinet refacing has to do with indoor air quality. The off-gassing of urea-formaldehyde resins found in plywood and particleboard cabinetry is a serious issue. People with chemical sensitivities can experience respiratory problems and nausea in the presence of formaldehyde gas.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), (www.kbbgreen.com), "In homes, the most significant sources of formaldehyde are likely to be pressed-wood products made using adhesives that contain urea-formaldehyde resins. Pressed-wood products made for indoor use include: particleboard (used as sub-flooring and shelving and in cabinetry and furniture); hardwood plywood paneling (used for decorative wall covering and used in cabinets and furniture); and MDF (used for drawer fronts, cabinets and furniture tops)." The release of formaldehyde tends to occur more rapidly at first but then decreases over time. It's probably safe to say that 15-year-old cabinet boxes are no longer emitting much, if any, formaldehyde. With this in mind, it doesn't seem to make much sense to discard the older, inert boxes and replace them with new boxes constructed of fresh, urea-formaldehyde-based adhesive.

All of the composite wood products we use are in compliance with the Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regarding formaldehyde emissions. http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/compwood/compwood.htm

If the ultimate goals of green design and building are to reduce the amount of material that ends up in the waste stream and use products that are made of sustainable materials and avoid introducing harmful chemicals into the indoor environment, then quality cabinet refacing by Granite Transformations may very well be the latest and greatest development in green building!
