It’s very important to know about your requirement first when thinking of updating your kitchen cabinets. Then, you need to know about the options and the approximate costs in order to compare them with each other.

Kitchens are the 'heart of a home’ and are a reflection of your taste. So, it’s better that you avoid making any major mistake while remodeling it. Knowing which option is suitable for you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Here are written about the 4 Rs which are the most fabulous kitchen cabinet update options to beautify your kitchen.

Restoration; Cabinet Finish & Repair: if you are happy with the color of your existing cabinets but think that the cabinet finish has seen better days, then a repair, cleaning, and restoration may be the solution you need. This is a quick (typically a 1-day process) and comparatively low-priced way to refresh and protect the existing cabinet finish you have.

Get a ‘new- like’ appearance for thousands less than replacing or refacing your cabinets. You can even add a tilt tray, pull-out shelves or decorative hardware for a more modernized, user-friendly kitchen!

Refinishing: refinishing your Cabinet is a tricky procedure. It includes removing the existing stain or paint (by either using heavy-duty sanding or chemicals or both), and re-painting or re-staining using the same materials, i.e. doors, cabinets, and drawer fronts. As the materials have previously been through the process of finish, the result can’t always be guaranteed.

But, for a new look, refinishing cabinets is a wonderful option one could have. In the process, professionals add a new stain and a new topcoat which is great in protecting the wood. As the old doors are kept, cabinet refinishing works best when you just want to change the stain color.

Refacing: do you want to change the wood species or the color of your kitchen cabinet? Then you may think of refacing your cabinets. This includes replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts with solid and high-quality wood doors. Then a wood veneer is bonded or applied to your existing cabinets in order to make them look like brand new cabinets again.

Crown molding is effectively installed and dresses up the cabinets really well. Refacing is a wonderful option if you are planning on keeping your existing countertops and floors. Most of the reface jobs are finished within 5 days and have warranties for some years.

Replacement/Remodel: For those clients who are looking for a brand new kitchen should go for kitchen cabinet replacement. Also, choose this option if your current kitchen cabinetry is in poor shape or if you are thinking of reconfiguring the layout. This will allow you to choose your material, door style, and color, whilst configuring the cabinet and moving appliances as required.

The cost of Kitchen cabinets ranges based on several factors. Replacing cabinets may cost more and take longer than other cabinet updating options.
