How does cabinet refacing compare in cost to complete kitchen remodeling?
Remodeling Magazine's Annual Cost vs Value Report looks at the costs of remodeling a typical 200 square foot kitchen with 30 linear feet of cabinetry in three different ways: Cabinet Refacing (Minor Remodel), Mid-Range Major Remodel, and Upscale Major Remodel.  All three projects address the primary elements within a kitchen: 1. Cabinetry; 2. Countertops, sinks, and faucets; 3. Major appliances; 4. Flooring, and 5. Wall treatments and trim.
