The decision to remodel a kitchen or bathroom is major.
A complete remodel takes time, and the costs can add up quickly. In fact, installing new cabinets will eat up a large part of your budget. Cabinet refacing in Bonita Springs is an alternative you should consider.

Cabinet refacing can give your rooms a facelift without breaking the bank.
What Are the Advantages of Refacing Cabinets?
Using a typical 10-by-12-foot kitchen as an example, complete replacement of old cabinets can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 depending on the type of cabinetry you select.
Add the cost of hardware, molding and trim, and refinishing of any walls that are left exposed or damaged after the replacement.
Refacing kitchen cabinets, on the other hand, can range from about $3,000 for laminates to $15,000 for high-quality wood veneers and new hardware, or about half the cost of full replacement.
Veneers come in many different styles, so you can modernize the look of your cabinets no matter when your cabinets were originally made.
Refacing cabinets can often be completed in less than one week depending on the size and scope of the job.
You can continue to use your kitchen while cabinets are being refaced. Full cabinet replacement means that all of the contents must be removed and packed away until the job is completed, which can take weeks or months. Cabinet refacing is less disruptive to your daily routine.
Cabinet refacing is a greener option. Refacing uses less wood materials and electricity. You can save trees from destruction and prevent toxins from old cabinets, such as formaldehyde, from ending up in landfills.
Once completed, most people won’t be able to tell the difference between new cabinets and those that have been refaced.
Are There Any Disadvantages?
If you don’t like the layout of your kitchen or bathroom, refacing the cabinets won’t fix the problem. You’ll be stuck with the same design and functionality of the original footprint unless you replace the cabinets.
Refacing doesn’t correct damage or deterioration of the cabinet materials. If the cabinets are structurally damaged, they should be replaced.
The knowledge that you’re saving money may tempt you to choose more expensive veneers and hardware (reducing your savings).
When the cost of a kitchen remodel or bathroom remodel is one of your biggest concerns, cabinet refacing is almost always the way to go.
Of course, the best option will depend on your budget and the layout and condition of your existing cabinets. If you are happy with the current layout of your cabinets but simply want a facelift, cabinet refacing will provide you with a wide variety of choices.
