Mistakes To Avoid During Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Mission Viejo
Giving
your Mission Viejo kitchen a makeover can not only help make the kitchen area
visually appealing, but it can also help improve the value of your home. One of
the makeovers you should think about if you are on a tight budget is cabinet
refacing. If your existing cabinets look old and drab but are in perfectly structural
condition, there is no need of ripping them out and installing new ones. During
the refacing process, cabinet doors, drawer fronts and knobs will be replaced
and then new veneer will be applied to all the externally visible parts of the
cabinets.
When you embark
on a kitchen
cabinet refacing Mission Viejo project, there are number of mistakes you
will need to avoid. The first one is having unrealistic expectations. In your
existing kitchen cabinets are badly worn out or damaged, then painting them
will not give them the super glossy uniform surface that you may be expecting.
You will need to check your cabinets thoroughly and figure out the extent of
damage. Many old kitchen cabinets have very visible grain that can be filled
with putty, but this only makes the task more labor and time intensive.
Another
mistake you do not want to make during kitchen cabinet
refacing Mission Viejo is not removing the doors and drawers. “Is it really
necessary to remove the doors and drawers during the refacing project?”, you
may be asking. Well, some people may resort to just painting everything,
including the hinge, but that will be such a good idea. Removing the doors and drawers
is a very important and crucial step of refacing the kitchen cabinets. If you
skip it, you may not be able to achieve that great look that you hope to have
in your kitchen.
Last but
not least, you should not make the mistake of failing to clean the cabinets
well before refacing them. Your cabinets probably have layers of muck and grime
that has built over the years. Simply wiping the grime down will not clean the
surface. You should take time to degrease the surface with a stronger degreaser
before refacing them.
