It is possible to reface cabinets more than once, but doing so will shorten the life of your cabinets. The most important factor in deciding whether or not you can reface your cabinets more than once is the quality of the adhesive used in the original installation. A high-quality adhesive should be able to hold up to several rounds of resurfacing, but a low-quality adhesive will not. In addition, if there is any damage to the cabinet surfaces—such as scratches, dents, or chips—those areas will be much more susceptible to damage during subsequent resurfacing attempts.
You can reface cabinets more than once, but the process will be different the second time around. The first time you refaced your cabinets, you probably used a veneer or laminate. Both of these materials are thin and tend to wear out over time. If you want to reface your cabinets again, you'll need to use a material that's more durable, like wood or plastic laminate. If you're using a material that's more durable, your cabinet frame will need to be in good condition for the new material to adhere properly. If the frame is damaged or deteriorated, you'll need to replace it before you can start the refacing process.
