Refacing - The Kitchen is the Heart

The kitchen is the heart of your home

Connections happen in the kitchen, from everyday cooking to holiday gatherings. Worn cabinet doors, a sticking drawer or a mixer stored in the garage can interrupt those routines. The goal of an update is a room that feels welcoming and works for the people using it.

Feeling stuck with worn out cabinets

Painting or refinishing can be a valid choice for suitable cabinets. Proper preparation includes cleaning and preparing the surface; paint shouldn't be applied over grease. Performance depends on the substrate, preparation, coating system, application and use. Changing the finish alone won't repair a damaged drawer, improve an awkward storage opening or replace worn hinges.

So, do you start thinking about doing a complete rip and tear remodel? Maybe you start to feel optimistic; a fresh start would be nice. Then, you see the price tag, which is the same price you bought the whole house for. Suddenly, it's Halloween again as big dollar signs haunt you.

Your friends and family love you no matter what, but still, you don't want them staring at grease grime. You also don't want to spend your precious time digging through the shelves to find your Christmas cookie-baking sheets. You want to focus on spending time together and making memories, not on where you have to stash your appliances.

How Crown Cabinetry can help

Crown's premium cabinet refacing updates the doors, drawer fronts and exposed surfaces while retaining suitable cabinet boxes. That coordinated scope is different from keeping the existing fronts and repainting them.

Here's how it works:

1. Our experienced installers at Crown use the same cabinet boxes already in your kitchen, but remove the old wrapping, such as cabinet doors, drawers, and trim.
2. We then overlay the boxes with a new quarter-inch wood surface in the finish color (paint or stain) of your choice.
3. Once the new refacing material wraps the boxes, we add new doors, drawer fronts, hardware, crown molding, and trim to complete the gift of a stunning kitchen.

The custom in custom cabinet refacing

By the way, the materials we use to reface aren't like that tattered roll of thin wrapping paper shoved into the back of a closet. No, this is the good stuff. Crown Cabinetry manufactures its very own quarter-inch solid wood refacing material. It's made from start to finish at our plant in Abilene, Kansas. We look over every detail to ensure the best quality.

That process includes using a post-catalyzed conversion varnish to create a long-lasting, durable surface. All of the new doors, drawer fronts, molding, trim and refacing material will be finished in our plant. That keeps the fumes out of your home and dirt out of our guaranteed finish! At the Crown Cabinetry plant we bake the varnish for extra durability. That's basically a fancy way of saying that the next time you stand in your kitchen and imagine the new memories to come, you won't get distracted by that peeling paint; we guarantee it with a 10-year warranty on the finish.

If you're deciding how much to change, compare replacing only the cabinet doors with a coordinated reface.

What could be possible

As described in Crown Cabinetry's catalog, the CEO of our company, Ryan Johnson, dares us to "dream, reimagine spaces, and be hopeful for things that might be." Ryan thinks of his dare as The Art of Possibility.

So go ahead, imagine those brand new, custom-refaced cabinets by Crown; think of what color they might be and how gorgeous they'll stay with our guaranteed finish. Picture in your mind: drawers that don't get stuck or slide off the track but work exactly as they should, gliding open with ease. Ponder how quiet and peaceful it'd be with soft-close hinges installed on every door and drawer around your kitchen. Imagine new storage solutions you didn't think possible, like a mixer lift that brings your stand mixer back into the kitchen and makes it easily accessible. How about vertical storage with built-in organizers for your cookie sheets? Roll out trays that maximize your storage space and let you see exactly where everything goes.

There are many possibilities for your kitchen that we want you to imagine. Call Crown Cabinetry because we're confident we can bring it to life. More than anything, we want to provide you the space to melt into those warm memories again. We want you to focus on the new possibilities for events to come without ever getting distracted by paint or stuck drawers and failing cabinetry. Tell us your dreams so you can live them with your friends and family the next time the holidays roll around.
