If your cabinets look dated but work fine, you may not need new ones.

Refacing

Cabinet refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes and replaces the visible parts: doors, drawer fronts, and veneer on the frames. New hardware and soft-close hinges are often added. Good fit when: boxes are solid and dry, you like the layout, and you want a new look with less disruption.

Renovation or replacement

Cabinet renovations address layout, function or damaged boxes, and can include adding, removing or rebuilding cabinets. Good fit when: boxes are water-damaged or sagging, you want a different layout, or you need more storage.

How to tell which you need

Soft, swollen or stained cabinet floors suggest water damage that refacing will not fix.
Racked boxes, doors that will not line up, or drawers that drag may point to structural problems.
If the layout works, refacing is often enough. If it does not, consider a renovation.
