Kitchen cabinet refacing is the most popular way to update tired, worn cabinets without disrupting the use of your kitchen for more than a few days, especially in New Orleans. This process involves replacing the doors with new (or veneer or other material) doors usually made from oak, birch, maple or hickory. The choice of wood and stain is overwhelming. Oak is the least expensive. Cherry wood is the most expensive and in New Orleans is rather popular.
For a small budget and tight schedule, cabinet refacing can bring a whole new look to your kitchen. When you reface your cabinets, you keep the existing structure but spruce up hardware, drawer fronts, cabinet doors, and exterior surfaces. This way, you can rework an already adequate kitchen with a face lift without interrupting your busy life.
Many people turn to cabinet refacing when they’d like to update their kitchen, but don’t have a huge budget and can’t manage total demolition. With New Orleans cabinet refacing, it’s easy to coordinate a new floor or wall paint and end up with a beautiful new room for much less cost than true remodeling. It is also appealing as a do-it-yourself project within reach of an amateur carpenter.
