Cabinet Refacing

If your existing cabinet boxes are sound (most are), refacing replaces the doors, drawer fronts, and visible side panels with new ones — giving you a brand new look at roughly half the cost of a full replacement and a fraction of the disruption. Same-day to one-week turnaround.

FAQ

Common cabinet refacing questions, answered.

Is my kitchen a good candidate for refacing?

If your existing cabinet boxes are solid wood (or solid wood with plywood sides) and structurally sound, yes. If the boxes are particleboard and falling apart, replacement makes more sense. We'll inspect at the consultation.

How much money does refacing actually save vs. replacement?

Typically 40–60% less. A kitchen that would cost $50k for full replacement might be $20k–$30k refaced. The savings come from keeping the boxes and avoiding the demo, structural, and plumbing rework that comes with a full remodel.

How long does cabinet refacing take?

5–7 days on site for a typical kitchen. We pre-build the doors and drawer fronts off site, then come in, prep the existing boxes, apply new veneer, hang new doors, install new hardware. Kitchen is usable in the evenings.

Will refaced cabinets look as good as new?

Yes, when done right. The veneer goes on every visible surface (faces, sides, toe kicks), new doors and drawer fronts, new hardware. The only thing keeping the same is the box interior, which nobody sees. From the room, it's indistinguishable from new.
