When you compare the cost of installing brand new kitchen cabinets to the cost of refacing your existing cabinets, there is no comparison. Refacing is definitely the cheaper option.

The fact is that totally replacing your kitchen cabinets is so time consuming and costly that there may be little left in the budget for anything else. With the money you can save by refacing your cabinets, rather than replacing them, you could buy additional items to update your kitchen such as counter-tops, tile, or new appliances.
