What Does Cabinet Refinishing Mean?

As the name suggests, cabinet refinishing means to restore the original finish of your existing cabinets. It involves some light sanding, applying a new finish, and curing to make sure the new look sticks around for the years to come. 

The best part about cabinet refinishing is the amount of time and money you save compared to traditional kitchen remodels. Plus, cabinet refinishing doesn’t just have to be a perfect restoration. With our team here at N-Hance, you can make deep and dramatic color changes so the cabinet looks brand new! Of course, if you do want to restore the cabinets then our classic cabinet refinishing will bring back the original color so it’s the perfect way to restore your old cabinetry. When it comes to kitchen makeovers in Grabill, you can’t go wrong with a cabinet refinishing from the good people here at N-Hance Wood Refinishing of Fort Wayne.

Is there a Difference Between Cabinet Refinishing and Refacing?

Yes, there absolutely is. It’s easy to think of the difference as this, cabinet refinishing gives your cabinet a face-lift, and refacing gives your cabinet a brand new face. Cabinet refacing is also known as cabinet door replacement as it swaps your old worn down door and drawer fronts with brand new ones or special veneers. There are certainly pros and cons to both. 

When you choose to reface your cabinets here in Grabill, you can expect to wait a week or more for the new doors/drawer fronts or veneers to come in along with the additional parts and hardware. It will also take a few more days to get everything fitted and squared away so the overall time of completion is higher than refinishing. That’s not to mention the higher pricing. Refinishing is typically more affordable, takes less than a week to complete, and takes place right on the original cabinet. Refacing may be able to give you a slightly more dramatic change, but at what cost? That’s why we typically point our customers toward refinishing.

Is there a Difference Between Cabinet Refinishing and Painting?

Again the answer is yes, but these two cabinet makeover methods are often more confused. We would say the main difference between a cabinet refinishing from us and a cabinet painting from the competition is the actual material. Most Grabill cabinet painters fail to use a product that actually lasts because most paints weren’t designed specifically for wood cabinets. A cabinet refinishing from N-Hance actually uses a solid stain finish instead of paint for this very reason. It will stick the wood for years to come because it was specially crafted with wooden cabinets in mind. It still adds just as powerful a color change as this video from our YouTube channel will show.

So Why Should I Refinish My Cabinets?

In addition to the amount of time and money refinishing saves you, there are a number of other benefits. These benefits include peace of mind, the ability to get started quickly, a durable factory-style look, a completely customizable experience, the ability to restore or completely change up the look and color of your cabinets, and little to no disruption of your everyday life. Especially when it comes to your kitchen cabinets, you want that last benefit for sure. Above all else, cabinet refinishing will give you the cabinets of your dream in the color of your choosing without the normal hassle associated with home renovations from a professional service.
