anyone reface their kitchen cabinets?
Comments (11)Hey, flyleft, I used some doors with the big holes in them on those cheap oak face frame cabinets in my kitchen. (I can't remember now why I bought doors with those holes in them.) I used the regular overlay hinges where just the little hinge edge is visible. It was a little tough getting the hinges secured because those huge holes were just in the spot where hinges needed to be. So some of my hinges had less than the optimal amount of screws holding them on. I think to do it properly, you'd have to fill in those holes. I'm sure the woodworking forum can give you some good advice for cutting out blanks and glueing them into the holes. Are you choosing IKEA for the style or the price? Seems like it would be easier to get a custom ordered door and stain or paint it yourself....See MoreHas Anyone Used Kitchen Solvers for Refacing Cabinets?
Comments (3)I can't speak to the issue of refacing vs replacing, but I did want to say that I am at the last 5% of a total kitchen renovation done through Kitchen Solvers. They've been absolutely wonderful to work with. They are very knowledgeable , pay good attention to detail, and have been able to do as much or as little as I want. They have their own flooring, drywall, granite, etc people, but will let me use others if I have a preference (we have a painter we really like, for example). I could have even just bought their design and used my own cabinetmaker (I didn't). They've done designs or total renovations for 2 of my friends too, both of whom were very happy with them....See Morecan laminated/refaced kitchen cabinets be "undone"?

Comments (6)If you use thinner, you need something to protect the floor if it's anything other than a ceramic tile, and even then it's a good idea to put down something. Also if you're going to work with thinner, make sure you use the right kind of gloves. If the thinner gets trapped against skin, it may cause a nasty burn....See Morelikestonehomes
