Expand Your Kitchen Remodeling Business—Learn to Reface Cabinets
Are you a kitchen remodeling contractor? The key to winning more jobs is learning how to reface kitchen cabinets. The cost of a traditional kitchen remodel could leave many homeowners thinking they are stuck with their outdated kitchen design, but with cabinet refacing skills, you can offer the homeowner a new look at a fraction of the cost.
The Demand for Cabinet Refacing is Growing
That means if you’re not offering cabinet refacing to your customers, you could be losing a significant amount of business. Offering cabinet refacing services in addition to new cabinetry services will ensure that you’re able to serve a much larger demographic of homeowners.

What could adding cabinet refacing to your offerings do for your customers (and your business)?
- Time Savings: Without the need for cabinet demolition and construction, you can reduce a project’s timeline.
- Reduced Disruption: With refacing, the remodeling process is shortened, meaning your client’s lifestyle is disrupted for a shorter period of time. Depending on the extent of the remodel, the kitchen can remain functional through the entire refacing process.
- Improved Functionality: Refacing improves the look of a kitchen, but it can also be used as a time to enhance the function of drawers and cabinets.

Cabinet Refacing is the process of changing the exterior look of kitchen cabinetry, while keeping the existing cabinet boxes and layout in place. Refacing includes new cabinet doors and drawer fronts, new mouldings, and new cabinet colors or wood tones. Refacing offers an affordable alternative to a complete remodel while still giving a kitchen a fresh look and feel.
