"I needed cabinets reattached to wall. Garfield was very professional and gave me a price range. When he came to do the work he laid down cloth to mitigate dust. He even offered to put the dish ware back for me"

"Al did a super job fixing some broken kitchen drawer railings & hanging a large, heavy cabinet shelf we couldn't figure out how to get back up. His estimate was very responsible and the repair was top notch! So glad he answered our call for help. If I could give a rating higher then 5 I definitely would. Thanks Al & Home Advisors."

"Unfortunate change on ownership of local Albuquerque CertaPro Painters resulted in company that previously provided great work on my house to a shoddy, slipshod business with terrible management. Stay away from CertaPro until th current franchise owner bottoms out and sells the franchise."

Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing questions, answered by experts

Whether to reface or paint comes down to personal preference. Refacing strikes a convenient balance between being more affordable than replacing cabinets and longer-lasting than painting them. Furthermore, it allows homeowners to completely change the aesthetic of their cabinets and still paint them if they choose to. If money was no object, refacing is the better option. However, it’s more expensive and time-consuming than painting. Painting remains an effective way to revamp your cabinets, both in look and longevity, without spending a ton of money.

If you don't sand your cabinets, the new paint or stain won’t adhere properly, impacting the final finish and leading to peeling, chipping, or a sloppy result that won't stand the test of time. Sanding removes the old finish, smooths imperfections, and gives the new coat something to grip. Without it, you will waste your time, money, and effort.

Yes, refacing old kitchen cabinets is doable as long as the cabinet boxes are still structurally sound. Refacing works best when the framework is in good condition, allowing you to update the doors, drawer fronts, and exterior surfaces without a full replacement.

You can add glass to your existing kitchen cabinet doors with a few tools and some patience. We recommend following the DIY steps listed above, which include cutting a panel for the glass, cutting and adding the glass, and reattaching your cabinetry. If these steps seem too complicated or you’d rather have the peace of mind of a professional installation, hire a cabinet installation pro to handle this project for you.

To prepare for cabinet refinishing or refacing, it’s important to remove all items from the cabinetry in question. In addition, clear any clutter from the room, whether it's the kitchen, bathroom, or otherwise. Be sure to have additional cabinet materials, such as cabinet hardware, lights, and glass inserts, ready for your cabinet installer to use.

Finally, if you have pets, ensure they are in a safe, separate location away from your cabinet professionals, who will bring materials in and out of your home during the process.
