While it is cheaper to reface cabinets instead of replacing them, the savings is usually not worth it. We know it’s tempting to cut costs in any way you can, but when you look at the facts of refacing, you’ll see that the best choice is usually to just replace them. That’s because the most expensive part of any cabinet is the door, generally accounting for about 70% of the total cost of the cabinet. If you’re already going to be purchasing the most expensive part, you may as well spend the additional amount to replace the entire cabinet. This will ensure better quality and precise matching of the doors and frame.
