How long does the kitchen refacing process take?

The average length of time the refacing process takes is based on a few conditions.

1. First is based on door count. Average kitchen size is 20-25 doors with 5-8 drawer fronts


2. Next is crown moulding and trim optional installation. 2-3 hrs


3. Counter top installation option. 2-3 hrs


4. Cabinet modifications. Each modification takes 1-2 hours. Example... cut down stove or fridge cabinet.


5. Rollout installation or drawer replacement. 1/2-3/4 per drawer


6. Is the customer removing the doors and drawer fronts. 1 hr


7. Is the customer removing and disconnecting the sink and,countertop?, 1-1-1/2

These points are the major time consuming parts of the refacing job.

, ,So an average kitchen with the number of doors and drawers fronts listed will take one fully experienced kitchen person to reface a kitchen,3-4 days working ,8 hours a day to complete.



If the consumer can do some of the work. At least a half a day can be saved in time.,



Again every installer works at a different pace based on his or her experience.

Kitchen Storage Ideas

A lot of the older style kitchens were designed with a separate dining room. Now we remove the walls to create great rooms.

This kitchen had a wall removed, then we added a refrigerator  with two pantries to give it a built in refrigerator look. Take a look at more kitchen storage ideas 

A lot of kitchen designers need to ask their customers' if this might be an option for them. A lot of customers really do not give it a lot of thought. Keep in mind a qualified carpenter should inspect the room to see if the walls are load bearing. This will have a major impact on what can and can not be done.
