Redooring is the process of removing all existing doors and drawer fronts from your kitchen and replacing them with new ones. Since the doors and fronts constitute the great majority of the visible portions of your kitchen, simply updating your door style can have a profound impact on your kitchens appearance.

When you reface your kitchen, the doors and fronts are removed and replaced, and the cabinet boxes are veneered. This allows you to change the stain colour of your kitchen cabinets and update your door style - however it is more expensive than redooring.

With both refacing and redooring, modifications can be made to your kitchen such as replacing your existing crown mouldings with new ones, making minor layout modifications and adding or removing cabinet boxes.

Both refacing and redooring will allow you to completely change the overall look of your kitchen. Both options are far more affordable than a complete kitchen replacement. What you should consider when deciding whether to reface or redoor is the outcome you'd like to achieve.

If you're set on having a stained kitchen and you want to change your stain colour, then refacing is probably your best option. However if you like your stain colour but not your door style, then redooring is going to be far more affordable, since new doors can simply be stained to match your existing cabinet boxes.

If you are considering a solid colour finish, or perhaps a glazed finish, then redooring again is going to be the best option, because with a solid colour finish there is no need to veneer the boxes since they can be refinished. Only your doors would need to be replaced. You can read about our available door options here.

As far as cost goes, refacing is a more expensive option than redooring due to the added costs of veneering the cabinet boxes. If you want to change your stain colour, then refacing is what you should be looking into. If you want a solid colour, then redooring is probably your best option.

And of course if you'd like to keep your existing doors and fronts, or a reface/redoor isn't in the budget, then read about our even more affordable cabinet refinishing services.
