1. Kitchen Refacing & Modification
   Kitchen refacing is to keep the existing cabinet boxes, but to replace the doors. This solution is particularly suitable for those kitchens with good layouts and the cabinet boxes are still in good conditions. Replacing the cabinet doors alone can change the entire look of a kitchen. Benefits include:
   
   • Saving money - up to 50% compared with a kitchen replacement.
   • Convenience - no demolition, no dust, no mess, little hassle.
   • Minimal wastages - only replace those elements that needed to be replaced.
   • Least disturbance - typical refacing projects can be finished in one or two days. No extended period of eating out.
   • Low risk - lower chance of breaking other kitchen components such as the granite countertop when replacing the kitchen cabinets.

2. Kitchen Replacement
   "Replaces the whole set of kitchen cabinets, including cabinet boxes, doors and countertops, based on the existing layout. Keeping the existing layout can save money if no plumbing or electrical work is involved. Furthermore, no extensive design and administrative fee expected." This solution is most suitable for old kitchens with good layout but both cabinet boxes and doors are in bad condition.

3. Complete Kitchen Remodeling
   Complete kitchen remodeling is to tear down and rebuild every element in a kitchen, including cabinets, ceiling, flooring, lighting, counter-top, wall finishes, etc. Intensive design and project administration are expected. This brand new personalized kitchen is often more costly.
