|
| Q. What is NU-FACE Cabinet Systems? |
|
NU-FACE Cabinet Systems is a new and improved method of cabinet re-facing. We even hate to compare ourselves to cabinet re-facing because the word re-facing conjures up thoughts of a finished product that is somehow less desirable than new cabinets. Your NU-FACE’d cabinets will be equal to or superior to new cabinets! |
|
|
| Q. OK, you convinced me. How do I get NU-FACE in my home? |
|
| Contact your local NU-FACE dealer (link) to set up an appointment. Your dealer will come to your home to access your needs and will provide you with a no-obligation estimate. There are no high pressure sales pitches from our dealers. Once you see the quality of our product and our pricing, you will see that our product sells itself. |

|
| Q. How is NU-FACE different from traditional cabinet refacing? |
|
|
Traditionally, cabinet re-facing has been sort of a “lower end” option where the homeowner simply could not afford new cabinets and, because of financial considerations or the desire to keep the countertop, simply had no other option. Most often cheap, particle board doors were used and often the finishes were not stains or paints, but plastic “thermofoil”. Veneers were paper thin and had poor adhesives that would eventually peel off or damage easily. Usually, the re-facing company would not even replace the old bent and damaged drawer slides or cabinet hinges.
We offer our customers a cabinet solution that is not only superior to other "re-facing" companies, but was equal to, or superior to, new cabinets. We use only premium quality hardwood doors, use only the best paints, stains & glazes and ALWAYS replace hinges and drawer slides with premium quality hardware. When someone sees a NU-FACE cabinet installation, theri reaction is almost always "I can't believe this is a reface!".

| Q. What will I save choosing NU-FACE over new cabinets? |
|
Cost Savings – NU-FACE will save you up to 75% off of the cost of comparable new cabinets.
Time Savings - Average NU-FACE installations can be done in as little as 3-5 days.
Countertop Savings – NU-FACE Cabinet Systems can be installed without disturbing your existing countertop. New cabinets require the destroying of your countertops.

|
|
| Q. What about selection? Will I be limited to just a few woods or colors? |
|
| Our standard line of doors encompasses 10 different door styles, 4 different wood species, 5 stain options, 4 painted options and 3 glazing options for a total 1080 different possible combinations . Surely, we will have a combination that would be just right for your home. If not, we can even custom match a color for you. You are not limited to just a few choices like a lot of "re-facing" companies. |
|
|
| Q. Will installation make a mess in my home? |
|
| No. Our highly trained installers come to your home with everything pre-finished and ready to install. We also will clean up at the end of each day and make every effort to minimize dust. |
|
|
| Q. I need new cabinets or need to add to the cabinets I have. Can you do that? |
|
| Yes. We are custom cabinet builders and can provide any new high quality cabinets you might need at prices less than the Big Box stores sell their inferior “stock” cabinets for. Also, when adding to your existing cabinets, your new cabinets will match your old ones perfectly. |
|
|
| Q. I am planning on moving in the near future. Why should I NU-FACE my cabinets? |
|
| If you are planning on selling your home in the next few years, this is a very difficult market. Any realtor will tell you that an outdated kitchen or bath is the biggest “deal killer” when trying to sell a home. Also, when multiple similar homes are selling in the same area, the ones with updated kitchens and baths will have a distinct advantage. While you obviously want your kitchen and baths to look great, you also want to spend the minimum required to update your home. NU-FACE Cabinet Systems is the perfect solution. Your home will sell faster and at a higher price. |
|
|
| Q. Do you offer other services besides NU-FACE’d cabinets |
|
| Yes. Select NU-FACE dealers offer additional products and services such as granite countertops, tile & wood flooring and other related services in addition to custom carpentry such as pantries, solid wood closet systems and bookcases. Many can complete your entire kitchen or bath remodel. Please contact your local NU-FACE dealer for details. |
