Cabinet Door Replacement Vs. Traditional Refacing in Fort Wayne

When people want to update their kitchens, the first instinct is often to remodel the cabinets, which can be messy and costly. Cabinet refacing is another option, but for the best value, cabinet door replacement in Fort Wayne is the way to go. Instead of replacing the entire cabinet, you can refresh the exterior to make your cabinets look brand new. If your doors are worn out, we can replace them and refinish the cabinet boxes to match. This method saves thousands compared to traditional refacing and provides a higher-quality result. It’s a win-win!

Over time, cabinets can become worn and dull from regular use, or your kitchen hardware may start to look outdated. You might also just want a change to better reflect your style. In these cases, cabinet refinishing is a great option, offering a fresh look without the need for costly refacing or replacement.

What makes N-Hance’s process superior to traditional cabinet refacing?

Traditional cabinet refacing in Fort Wayne can take as long as five days, and that’s not including the week or more it can take to order the veneer and doors. It involves completely replacing the cabinet doors and fixtures you already have installed, which is expensive. With N-Hance, your time until completion will be shortened by days, if not weeks. Many times you can even use the same cabinet doors you already have. N-Hance’s process will update the doors in your kitchen and have them look brand new.

Common Questions

What are some of the benefits of cabinet refinishing over traditional cabinet refacing?

One of the biggest benefits of updating your cabinets is the refreshing feeling of having a kitchen that reflects your style. Replacing all your cabinets, however, can be an overreaction, bringing mess, inconvenience, and high costs.

With cabinet refacing, you face the challenge of matching new doors with the existing boxes. If they don’t match, you may need to have everything refinished, which can take days or even weeks, leaving your kitchen inaccessible. N-Hance’s cabinet renewal process, however, can be completed in just one day with no dust left behind. You won’t need to spend extra money on new cabinets and hardware, nor worry about disposing of your old cabinets, which often end up in a landfill.

Our Cabinet Refinishing Process

N-Hance offers an affordable and innovative solution for refinishing your wood cabinets without the high costs, excessive dust, inconvenience, or lingering odors associated with traditional cabinet refacing or painting. We clean and refresh the cabinets you already have, making them look modern and well-maintained without the mess or expense.

What sets N-Hance apart is our Lightspeed® Nano Instant-Cure Wood Refinishing process, which minimizes odor and dries quickly. This allows us to complete most projects in half the time of traditional refinishing methods. Additionally, the Lightspeed process uses powerful ultraviolet light to cure the wood, providing an extra layer of durable finish for your cabinets.

N-Hance’s process includes the following steps:

Preparation and Detail. The N-Hance technician will mask and drape the job site first thing, to insure that your property is kept safe from stains, scratches, or other damages. There is no need for you to sweep or vacuum before we come, because our technicians always sweep and vacuum the site before working in order to remove dust from the surrounding area. The N-Hance technician will hand clean any tight areas of the cabinet to make sure that it is in the best shape possible before applying our finish. This step also includes removing and cleaning air conditioning vents to remove any dust that may be caught inside.

Cleaning. Our technician will go over your cabinet surfaces and remove any contaminants that may have accumulated, such as dirt, wax, and grease build-up. This will help the new coating to go on evenly and last longer.

Patching. If the current cabinets are scratched or cracked, we will patch and fill those flaws. (This step is not required in all situations.)

Application. During the application stage, the N-Hance technician will spray between 3 and 5 coats of the color you have selected. Following the application, the technician will completely dry the cabinets.

Protective Finish Application. Finally, the N-Hance technician will add a layer of our Protective Clear Coat Finish. N-Hance’s Lightspeed® Nano process instantly cures the coating, meaning there is no drying time. The technician may also apply a second coat of finish in order to ensure that your cabinets are well-protected and look new for years to come.

Inspection. After the process is complete, you and the technician will inspect the completed project together to make sure that you are happy with the results.

How Long Will My Cabinets Last?

Your finished cabinets will have the same durability and life as you would find in a high-quality, factory-finished cabinet. To further extend their life, we recommend our N-Hance Clean and Recoat process, which can further extend your cabinets’ appearance. By properly maintaining your cabinets, you can keep your cabinets looking beautiful for longer!
