Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

New cabinets are one of the most expensive components of a remodeled kitchen so refacing sound, existing cabinets for a fraction of the cost and without the disruption of tearing out existing cabinetry is an excellent alternative for the budget-conscious. This method requires only basic woodworking skills so it is a good option for beginners.
Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.


Product Description

By refacing old cabinets, virtually anyone with basic skills can make a kitchen or any room in the house look stunning at a fraction of the cost of new. The secret is knowing how to refurbish old cabinets by applying high-quality wood laminate and new cabinet doors, door fronts, and/or trim. This book shows readers everything they need to know to achieve professional results. 130 color photos. 50 drawings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Was Looking For, April 29, 2000
By Pat VV (Maine,USA) - See all my reviews
I found this to be a very clear explanation as well as a source reference for resurfacing cabinets yourself. Many photographs, charts, and diagrams accompany the text. The author convinced me that this is a home improvement project that I could tackle with a little help from my friends. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to update their 60's or 70's kitchen. I plan to give it a try this summer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does everything but the labor, July 24, 2000
By A Customer
This is a really excellent guide to cabinet refacing. It covers the job from start to finish, and offers several options for different steps along the way, not just the author's preferred technique. It gives the pros and cons of different techniques and materials as well. I'm a pretty good woodworker/carpenter/builder, so I really wouldn't hesitate to take on a reface job after reading this book. I've already ordered his other two books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decent manual - delivers what is promised, May 13, 2004
By Ken Wood (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This book delivers exactly what it promises. I have used the techniques and they DO work. I would recommend this approach for the extremely budget minded renovator. By the way, the veneer he uses can be found easily online.
