Refacing vs Refinishing vs Re-dooring Cabinets: Full Comparison to Help You Decide

Refacing vs Refinishing vs Re-dooring Cabinets: All you need to know for your DIY project

🖌 Refinishing means applying a new finish (usually paint) on your existing doors, panels, crown molding, light valances, toe kicks, everything that is visible.

🚪 Refacing means replacing everything you see from the outside . Brand-new doors, panels, crown moldings, and light valances replaced. Everything you see
from the outside is basically new but you save the boxes, so the structure of your kitchen cabinets is the same.

🚪 Redooring is a hybrid between refinishing and refacing. You replace only the doors, which you get either finished or unfinished, then you paint over all the other exposed areas to match your doors.
