Refacing cabinets is an enormous cost saver in a kitchen remodel

Are you looking to give your kitchen a makeover?

Maybe you’re trying to squeeze an extra buck or two out of the sale of your house. Whatever your reasons may be, Kitchen Tune-Up helps spice up your kitchen and save money at the same time with cabinet door refacing and kitchen cabinet resurfacing, great ways to keep costs down in a kitchen remodel.

Statistics have shown time and again that kitchen remodeling brings a return on a home improvement investment of between 80-110%. This measurement is based on a complete kitchen makeover.

Kitchen Cabinet Resurfacing Options

But a complete kitchen makeover is time-consuming and expensive. So a nice compromise for value and aethetics can be smaller, more cost efficient changes, especially considering kitchen cabinet resurfacing changes the look of a kitchen for as much as 50% of the cost of a complete remodel.

The  Kitchen Tune-Up’s quick, easy and affordable wood reconditioning process makes kitchens look brand new. If  cabinet boxes are in good, solid condition and a seller chooses to stay with a similar color, then cabinet door refacing may be a terrific option.

By replacing or refinishing the drawer fronts and doors, a seller is able to change the style to match the color of the existing cabinet box. The process includes removing built-up grease, dirt, wax, dust and smoke, and from the wood’s original finish. Next is touch up and blending of areas where color may have faded. Finally a special colorant is applied. This last step treats the wood with penetrating oil that restores dried out wood fibers. Or an entirely new and fresh finished coat of color is applied, if needed.  With new hardware, the kitchen now looks updated.

Kitchen Remodel at Half the Cost

If the style and color of your cabinets are out of date, kitchen cabinet refacing is another option. In a few days, a completely new look – dramatic or subtle – is apparent. Kitchen cabinet refacing makes a client able to revitalize their kitchen with new drawer fronts, doors, and a matching veneer. This can be done while still using the existing cabinet boxes. This helps to create a “new kitchen” look without the high price of a “new kitchen”.

Kitchen Tune-Up has been named Entrepreneur Magazine’s number one remodeling franchise for over 20 years. They have more than 200 franchises in the U.S. and Canada.
