By Greg J. Hansward

If you know the basics about kitchen cabinet refacing then it will be easy for you to do. If you want to make your kitchen cabinets look great, but don t know the first thing about cabinetmaking then don t worry. You can make your kitchen look great by spicing up your old cabinets rather than getting rid of them all together. You ll love the look and feel of new cabinets in your house without the work and cost of buying new cabinets.

You can save a lot of money when you reface your cabinets instead of replacing them completely. You can also keep your old cabinets, which are probably better than any newer cabinets that you would buy. You will also be able to make them more useful by adding additions that you don t have at the moment.

Choose what kind of cabinet door you want first. If you have a common type of cabinet with a face-frame then you want to choose a door/drawer to put in the frames. You will need to use skill to fit them correctly.

Pick a style for your doors. You need to choose a raised panel, a flat panel, and what kind of finish you want. You can choose between painted, unfinished, or natural. Usually you can find a door that is already finished to save you some work. Usually the look better to if you buy them prefinished. Any finish you could do might look sloppy compared to a door that is already finished.

Select the hinges that you want for your door and make sure that you can open them correctly.

Measure your cabinets for doors and drawers. You ll need to measure all the doors and drawers and make sure that you take into account any false drawers you may have as well.

You will also need to cover the front of the frames to match the door. You need some peel and stick to do this and you need drawer rails as well.

Measure all the end panels and the make sure to measure anything that has a glass door or will have one. You need to measure inside and outside to get the right size panels.

You might want to make lot of other home improvements at the same time that you do this. You can search your home for different things to take care of and your kitchen especially. It can take about 4 weeks to get your cabinet doors in your home so this will give you lots of time to take care of your home first. You can check for any shelves that might have water damage or any other problems. You ll want to replace such shelves and make sure that they match the new ones you are ordering for your cabinets.
