You can typically buy just the fronts of kitchen cabinets without purchasing the entire cabinet structure. This option is often referred to as "cabinet refacing" or "cabinet door replacement." It's a popular choice for homeowners who want to update the look of their kitchen cabinets without the cost and hassle of completely replacing them.
When you opt for cabinet refacing, you keep the existing cabinet boxes (the frames and shelves) in place and simply replace the doors, drawer fronts, and any visible facing or veneer. This can involve removing the old doors and drawer fronts, preparing the surfaces for the new fronts, and installing the new ones.
Refacing cabinets is typically less expensive than completely replacing them since you're only purchasing new fronts rather than an entire set of cabinets.
Refacing cabinets is generally quicker than installing new cabinets, as it involves less demolition and construction work.
Since you're not removing the entire cabinet structure, there's less disruption to your kitchen during the renovation process.
Cabinet refacing allows you to update the look of your kitchen with new styles, colors, and materials for the cabinet fronts.
Many home improvement stores, cabinet manufacturers, and contractors offer cabinet refacing services or sell cabinet fronts separately, allowing you to customize your kitchen cabinets to suit your preferences and budget.
