If your cabinet boxes are sound but the look is tired, refacing transforms your kitchen for a fraction of the cost and disruption of replacement.
Cabinet refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes and updates everything you see: new doors, new drawer fronts, fresh veneer over the frames, and new hardware. The footprint and layout stay the same, but the kitchen looks brand new.
For homeowners whose cabinets are well built and well placed, refacing is often the smartest path. It typically costs less and takes far less time than a full tear-out, and it keeps your kitchen usable through most of the process.
We help you decide honestly whether refacing, refinishing, or full replacement fits your goals. If your layout works and your boxes are solid, refacing delivers a dramatic change with minimal waste and disruption to your home.
The biggest visual change comes from new fronts in the style, color, and finish you choose, completely redefining the look of the room.
We apply fresh veneer to the visible cabinet frames so the boxes match your new fronts seamlessly.
New pulls, knobs, and hinges modernize the feel and improve everyday function.
Refacing typically costs significantly less than full cabinet replacement because you keep the existing structure.
Most refacing projects wrap in days rather than weeks, with far less mess and downtime in your kitchen.
No demolition of sound cabinetry means less dust, less waste, and a kitchen that stays largely functional throughout.
We visit to inspect your cabinet boxes and confirm refacing is the right fit, then bring door and finish samples to you.
You choose your door style, finish, veneer, and hardware, and we finalize measurements for everything.
We apply veneer to the frames and install your new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware with careful alignment.
We check every door and drawer for smooth operation and clean up, leaving your kitchen ready to enjoy.
Refinishing sands and repaints or restains your existing doors and frames, while refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts entirely and covers the frames with new veneer. Refacing gives a more complete transformation and lets you change door styles, while refinishing is best when you simply want a fresh coat in a similar look.
If your cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the layout works for you, refacing is usually the better value, delivering a dramatic new look for less. Full replacement makes more sense when boxes are damaged, the layout needs to change, or you want different cabinet sizes. We'll give you an honest recommendation after seeing your kitchen.
Most refacing projects are completed within a few days, depending on the size of the kitchen and the materials chosen. Because there's no major demolition, your kitchen stays usable through most of the work.
Absolutely. New doors and drawer fronts mean you can move from dated oak to a clean white shaker, a warm stained wood, or a modern slab front. The veneer on the frames is matched to your selection so the whole kitchen reads as new.
