The Concept
The basic concept behind cabinet refacing is like giving the current ones a facelift without actually disturbing the original structure inside. A team of experts will initially assess the work that they need to do. The state of the wood is checked to see just how far they need to redo the doors, drawers (fronts and boxes), hinges, knobs and roll out shelves. These are a lot of things that need to be assessed and the experts in this field do this methodically in order to avoid mistakes and complaints from their clients. 

If the client might want to keep the original theme or motif of the kitchen or any other place in the house, then the people who will be doing the renovation will need to make sure that they have noted down the exact color or hue of the kitchen as well as other aspects that need to be taken down.
