Can You Replace Just Your Cabinet Doors?
Yes, you can replace just your cabinet doors without redoing the entire kitchen. It’s one of the most budget-friendly ways to change the look of your kitchen, since your existing cabinet boxes, plumbing, and layout all stay exactly where they are. Below, we’ll walk through how the process works, what it costs, and how to know if replacing just your doors is enough — or if it makes more sense to reface the whole cabinet.
Replacing Your Cabinet Doors
Replacing your cabinet doors yourself is absolutely doable. However, to get the best quality available for your kitchen you’ll have to do some homework. Many kitchen cabinet drawers sold on the market are poor-quality particleboard. Particleboard isn’t very durable and can take damage from heat and water. That’s why Redo Cabinets uses Duracore doors for our refacing projects. Crestcore™ cabinets are higher density than most cabinets and can withstand spills, bangs, moisture, and heat with ease.
The other thing you have to look out for when replacing your own cabinet doors is the measurements. Cabinet doors can be difficult to measure. Unfortunately, when measured incorrectly you’ll have doors that will not work with your cabinets. We have some tips for measuring cabinets here, just in case you need help.
