Is it possible to reface kitchen cabinets that have a plastic-likecovering on them?
Our kitchen is old, ugly, and our-dated and need updated terribly.
Unfortunately, I have a kid that just started college and another that will be starting next year, so money is going to be at a premium. I am looking into possibly refacing the existing cabinets but I don't know: (a) if I can reface them since they have some sort of covering on them that makes them look like (fake) oak. (b) if they are even worth refacing. The covering is some sort or plastic-like covering; almost like a huge piece of tape that is extremely thick and durable. (I will say this: the cabinet are 25+ years old and absolutely none of this crap has peeled off or worn off.) This crap is very, well, slippery and I don't know if contact cement would even hold, would it? Also, the cabinets are made of junk particle board. They are reasonably sturdy still although all of the shelves and such will need replaced, too. Are these even worth refacing if I could? If I do this, I plan on buying new drawer fronts and doors off the Internet and veneering the exposed area to match them. Nothing fancy, just to spruce it up a little bit. But I fear this will be almost as much as installing new, cheap cabinets. The only thing I really save is that I don't need to rip out the old ones and install the new ones. I guess that is a little bit of a trade off but I don't know. Finally, one big thing that is holding me back is that there is a HUGE blind corner in there now. There is a single door into the blind corner cabinet which extends at least 30-36 inches to the right of the door opening and it is REALLY hard to get to the back of this darn thing. There is a door on the cabinet immediately to the right of this one--the doors are perpendicular to each other. The biggest problem is that each door is only about 8 1/2" wide!!! the face frames are fairly wide on both of these door openings. Can I do something to help remedy this situation? I guess I could hack the frames to widen them, especially on the blind cabinet door. Or I can possibly get rid of the entire inside corner and install one of those doors that encompasses two doors with a hinge in the middle of the doors (but I don't think that would be that easy). Or I can maybe hack the inside of the cabinet next to the blind corner so you can reach thru there, too. Or a combination of any or all of these. Or NONE of them! Any suggestions are extremely welcome. Thanks! |

What would stop any of them from saying, "Yeah. I can do that. No problem." and yet have it not be worth it? Get references with the bid(s) (get more than one), and call ALL the references ... that is a practice that works. You got an AngiesList for your area? Great source for all kind of contract work. I guess what I should do is also price out a set of cheap-o cabinets that will last maybe 5-8 years or so butt hen I feel like I am buying twice. Of course, if it is cheaper to get the cheap-o cabinets than it will be to reface and replace the drawer/door fronts, I need to consider it as a viable alternative. I'm serious about getting the refinish bids _first_. Just going through that process will get you more hands on, professional advice about the current state of your cabinets, and what can/should be done with them cost effectively, than you can get anywhere, including here ... and is almost always FREE! Only after you have done that, and from the information gathered in that process, will you have a realistic idea of other options to pursue, and a bit more knowledge to know whether someone is attempting to pull the wool over your eyes. Any way, check out AngiesList ... highly recommended. Even as general contractor, I often use it locally to both check out references, and to find folks who are doing the best work. (AAMOG, I used AL this morning to get another bid on window cleaning (and did a handshake deal with the service based on their reviews and price bid before the guy left the property); and used it last week to get our two pups groomed by a mobile grooming service that I will most definitely use again. -- www.eWoodShop.com Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) http://gplus.to/eWoodShop |

If you do it your self, including the cabinet tops you may be surprised what you can get for the money. I believe you can get some quite nice ones for about $150/30 inch units, with the price going up or down for the other units. Tops can be made custom to your kitchen We are in the process of putting cabinets in the utility room. We are considering good look low grade cabinets. For two 30" and two 12" uppers it is going to cost less than 300 dollars. (My labor) |

Is it possible to reface kitchen cabinets that have aplastic-like covering on them?
I think Karl's idea is the best. A knowledgeable, reputable,
experienced resurfacer can tell you honestly if you can resurface. Most of the type of cabinets you are describing (again, hard to tell if you aren't there looking at them in person) are actually covered with vinyl tape, or in many cases, thermafoil or thermofoil. It is a heat shrink plastic that covers the underlying form which may be the rails and stiles, and most of the time the doors. If your doors have a thick, plastic coating with little or no seams apparent, then it is almost assuredly thermofoil. Paint doesn't stick well to plastic, and if it does it certainly won't stick well enough for cleaning. So resurfacing would be my first choice if they could find something underneath the rails and stile that their materials will stick to; the doors and drawer faces will usually be replaced in this process. I would think twice about spending the money on that process if the interiors of the cabinets were shot. Thin, warped shelving (unless you buy new shelves, the interiors of the cabinets are not redone with a resurface), cabinet boxes that are grainy and ugly inside, etc., will not be dealt with when resurfacing. Think of the contrast; nice new looking faces, then someone opens a door and they see the old stuff inside... Depending on your finishing skills, there is an alternative. A few years ago I picked up a job where the client had decided to redo his kitchen himself with the help of a couple of like minded weekenders. (Hurray for Norm! Hurray for This Old House! Hurray for DIY Network!) They didn't do bad work, they just didn't have the experience to see how much time it took to build out the kitchen from scratch without a technical adviser and a full TV crew. And since they didn't do it for a living, they were s l o w . I was called by the wife after the six month mark of not having a kitchen in the house (and nothing but a toilet in the master bath) was reached. He had all the cabinets in the garage! These came from Home Depot, and it was their unfinished line. I had used these cabinets a lot for utility stuff like garages, laundry rooms, etc., but never thought about them for a kitchen. They still sell this line of cabinets at HD. No, they aren't Karl and Leon's quality by a long shot, but they are significantly better than most tract home offerings. Plus, the boxes (they are sold as components) I didn't like, he was able to take them back for an exchange right away. Back in an hour with a new cabinet! Since they were raw, I took off the doors and hardware and sanded them, added a line of glue and some extra brads here and there, even a glue block or two. Me and my partner in crime sanded the snot out of those things for two days. I found that the doors, stiles, rails, and shelf fascias were all solid oak. No clue what kind, but solid wood. The cabinets themselves were pretty sturdy, and with a little help, they were very serviceable. I shot a light mist of my mix of stain on the kitchen cabinets to even out the color, then followed up with four coats of lacquer. With a crown molding from another source finished to match and installed, the cabinets looked like a million bucks. I was so surprised I can't even describe it. Cabinets from Home Depot? Really? I had never clear finished their product before since I was using them for utility purposes. Paint only. What a surprise. For the bath cabs, I did my usual. I can't remember the name of the product, but Sherwin Williams makes a primer that you roll, and it is specifically for wood with tubules, namely nut woods. It has silica in it (it will ruin your spray guns... this was an expensive lesson...) and rolls/brushes easily. the silica fills most of the tubules, and with a light sand you have a smooth surface. I roll out the cabs with a six inch roller, and brush the doors. Then spray as normal. Their cabinets always look nice, but they have awful muted/ brushed brass hardware on it we always replace for bath use with nickel. He showed me the receipt for the kitchen and bath cabinets. It was a *ton* of cabinets, and for both rooms it was about $3200. IIRC, I charged him a bit more to prep, hang, trim and finish them. I wouldn't knock this guy (he turns out quality work at a pretty good price), but the favorite cabinet maker for us contractors here in town had given him a bid for cabinets alone, delivered to the site, about the same quality for just under $10K. Not hung, not trimmed, not finished. Just a thought. If your finishing skills need help, start in the bathroom for practice. Read Leon's posts about using a foam brush for finishing. I have seen his work with my own eyes... great! For good finishing you don't need a ton of equipment, you need patience and an understanding of what you are doing. If you had the room, you could even prefinish the cabinets before you pulled the others out. I know... ask what time it is and Robert tells you how to build a clock. In my defense, I am home sick and have been for days. Goin' nuts over here. Robert |

There is a recent article in one of the regular woodworking
magazines on taking "basic" cabinets and making them pretty with very little expense. I can't remember which magazine..Wood, FWW or AWW but in the last few issues.

I am considering doing everything myself: either by hanging new cabinets or by applying veneer to the existing structure, installing new doors and drawer fronts, and finishing the whole thing. We have a very small kitchen and I have four weeks of vacation and no money to go anywhere this year, so I believe that I can take a week or so off and get it all done. I know it will take me five times as long to do this than somebody who does it for a living but I think I can handle this no problem--especially if I wait until after the middle of August when the only people in the house will be me and the wife since both kids will be in college. I am sure she will get sick of my slowness after a while but, well, she will have to put up with it! I am wondering now if it would be worth it to cover the thermofoil with some 1/8" luan or something? Sand the thermofoil a little, may apply some sort of primer that sticks to everything(?), install the luan with glue and an air nailer, rout out the openings, then apply veneer over top of everything. We only have one upper and one lower cabinet that has an exposed end-- and even those are covered by the fridge. Well, wrong. There are two more exposed uppers next to the sink. Other than that, the only things that need covered are all of the rails. I don't want to have to use the luan if I don't have to but it seems like a viable alternative to covering the thermofoil using both glue as well as mechanical fasteners. Plus I know the veneer will stick to the luan. I don't think I would even need very much veneer. I bet I can get away with only on 4x8 sheet and be done with it. If I am way off the mark on this, please tell me as that is what I need to hear. I don't want to start doing this and end up screwing myself and paying to do it twice!!! |

I have constant sinus problems and found the Advil brand which was called Co-Advil 30+ years ago. If you nip the symptoms in the bud before things escalate these pills tend to work very well. I, "knock on wood", have not been to a Dr. for sinus problems or infections since Spring of 2008. In the Spring I pop one before doing yard work as a preemptive strike. |
