If you are looking to remodel your kitchen in Rancho Santa Margarita very soon, one of the decisions that you will probably need to make is whether to reface or replace your existing cabinets. Refacing typically involves covering the exterior surfaces of the cabinets with new veneers, hardware and moldings. If your current cabinets are solid wood, refinishing or repainting them with a new color of paint or stain could update their appearance. Cabinet replacement on the other hand involves ripping out the existing cabinets and installing new ones.
