Update your kitchen door style for less than the cost of a total reface.

Redooring is the process of removing the existing cabinet doors and drawer fronts from your kitchen and replacing them with new ones.

Since the great majority of the visible portions of most cabinets consist of the doors and fronts, redooring is an excellent way to give your kitchen a new look and feel while spending less than you would on a total reface.

Re-dooring is different from refacing in that only the doors are changed. Cabinet boxes are not veneered over, so redooring is not the best option if you wanted to change your stain colour.

If you don't like your current door style - if they're looking a little dated, or they're in poor condition, and you wanted to go with a solid colour finish, then redooring might be your best and most affordable option.

As with refinishing, when redooring, we can finish the existing cabinet boxes and frames in the same colour as your new doors. However, it should be noted that this won't work with a stain, so if you want stained cabinets in a different colour than what you already have, then refacing is probably your best option.

You would benefit most from kitchen cabinet redooring if:

• You like your existing kitchen layout
• You like your current stain colour, but not the door style, and would like to change it
• You have maple, birch, poplar or other smooth grained cabinets and want to go to a solid colour finish with an updated door style
• You have melamine doors and they're in poor condition
• You want to go with a stained door finish, but don't mind mixing it with a solid colour finish on your cabinet boxes.
