Any opinions on cabinet refacing for kitchen rehabs?
What is everyones opinionon cabinet refacing on house flips? My partners and i have a difference of opinion on this matter . My view is if the back boxes are in good shape its quicker and cost effective to just cabinet reface but they feel its better to just always replace or redo cabinets in the kitchens . I agree a buyer will always want a brand new kitchen but in terms of time and cost i think this may be a better option

Unless I intended to keep the countertops (due to them being something nice) I wouldn’t reface. I’m not sure there is any cost savings to be had really, assuming the existing cabinets need to be repainted after all new doors and drawer fronts are built/installed.
