DW and I just bought a "new" house and closing 12-30-09 to take advantage of the tax credit. Beautiful house but dated relative to the kitchen cabinets. Talked to Home Depot yesterday and the salesman said it would be more cost effective to go new rather than reface. He said refacing is too labor intensive and costs the same as new cabinets. New cabinets will take about sixteen weeks from sales agreement to completion. That's the only place we have talked to so far. Thinking about Lowes tomorrow and then look at some more places. Maybe refacing is the way to go if you are living in the house and don't want to tear up the plaace.
Question: Has anyone had any experience in this regard? It will be costly and we don't want to make any mistakes. We will be living in our old house until this project is done so we have a choice on the timing.
