THE DIFFERENCE

Refacing by Boyar’s Kitchen Cabinets:

• Benefit of 31 years cabinet refacing experience.

• Unparalleled reputation for product quality, installation and customer service.
• Cabinets will look brand new.
• About half the cost of new high-quality cabinets.
• Damage to existing cabinets can be repaired prior to refacing.
• All materials are stained and finished at our factory, and brought to the client’s home dry so that there are no harmful fumes.
• Floors, countertops and appliances can remain.
• Kitchen and appliances are fully usable during the installation.
• New solid wood or Thermofoil (MDF core) doors and drawer fronts.
• New solid wood or Thermofoil (MDF) crown, base and scribe moldings.
• New material (real-wood veneer or top-quality laminate) covers cabinet exteriors.
• Optional new cabinets or reconfiguration of existing.
• New Blum European concealed hinges.
• Wide variety of exterior finishes and custom details are available.
• Wide-variety of optional new accessories to increase cabinet functionality.
• Optional new standard, doweled or dovetailed drawer boxes and pull-out shelves (with optional Accu-ride ball bearing slides).
• Installation takes approximately 3-5 consecutive business days.
• Lifetime warranty covers manufacturing and installation.

Painting and Refinishing:

• Old wood grain, doors, drawer fronts, moldings and cabinet frame remain – only exterior colors change.

• Damage to existing cabinets remains and often, cannot be repaired inconspicuously.
• Fumes from painting and refinishing are toxic, and often residents must leave the home until the air has cleared.
• Relatively expensive considering the benefits, sometimes more than half the cost of refacing.
• Existing hinges remain (when possible, sometimes they are replaced).
• Often doors are often veneer, and are made of low-quality wood, so painting and refinishing is not possible.
• Some accessories are available.
• Floors, countertops and appliances can remain.
• Warranty varies by company.

Typical New Cabinet Remodel (Other Companies):

• Entire kitchen is demolished.

• Often, permits are needed and there are delays and issues related to California code.
• All cabinets are replaced, often with lower-quality ones than currently exist.
• Extensive electrical, plumbing and gas line work is often required.
• Countertops (and often flooring) must be replaced.
• All appliances must be removed and either replaced or reinstalled.
• Average downtime of 4-12 weeks (depending on contractor and extent of remodel), during which kitchen is completely unusable.
