Revamp Your Kitchen the Smart Way with Exclusive Cabinet Refacing

Why Cabinet Refacing is the Smart Choice Over a Full Remodel

If your kitchen is starting to feel outdated, you might be thinking about a complete cabinet replacement. But before you commit to a costly and time-consuming tear-out, consider a smarter alternative: cabinet refacing. We’ve previously discussed the differences between refacing and refinishing—now, let’s explore how refacing compares to full cabinet replacement. At Better Than New Kitchens, we specialize in high-quality cabinet refacing that delivers a brand-new look without the hassle and expense of a full remodel. Here’s why Scottsdale homeowners are choosing refacing over replacing.

What is Cabinet Refacing?

Cabinet refacing involves keeping your existing cabinet boxes while replacing the doors, drawer fronts, and encasing the structure in real wood panels. We offer a wide range of customization options, including new build features, slow-close drawers, innovative storage organization, and decorative elements that can be added for updated functionality and a new look. The result? A brand-new aesthetic at a fraction of the cost and time of a full remodel.

What is Cabinet Replacement?

Cabinet replacement, also known as a full kitchen remodel, involves tearing out your existing cabinets and installing entirely new ones. This process often requires modifications to plumbing, electrical, and flooring, leading to higher costs and longer project timelines. Additionally, replacing cabinets typically means you will also need to replace your countertops, adding another significant expense to the project.

Save Thousands Without Sacrificing Style

A complete cabinet replacement can cost upwards of $20,000–$50,000, depending on materials and layout changes. In contrast, cabinet refacing provides the same fresh, modern look for 40-50% less. You get the beauty of brand-new cabinets without draining your budget.

Faster, Easier, and Less Disruptive

Replacing your cabinets means weeks (or even months) of living in a construction zone, often with no functional kitchen. Refacing, on the other hand, takes just 2-4 days, allowing you to enjoy your kitchen with minimal disruption. No need to relocate appliances, tear out flooring and countertops, or deal with a messy demolition.

High-Quality, Long-Lasting Results

Many homeowners assume that refacing is just a cosmetic fix—but that’s not the case. At Better Than New Kitchens, we use real wood panels and premium finishes that are built to last 15-20 years or more. Plus, we install brand-new custom doors, drawer fronts, and slow-close hardware, giving you the look and feel of a luxury kitchen.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Choice

Cabinet refacing is the greener way to remodel. By keeping your existing cabinet structure, you reduce landfill waste and minimize the demand for new materials. If sustainability matters to you, refacing is a smart, environmentally responsible choice.
