Cabinet refacing is one of the most affordable cabinet refacing options for improving both style and function.

Our team of local cabinet refacing contractors focuses on precision, design, and durability, ensuring your cabinets look stunning and last for years.

Types of Cabinets We Reface

We work on many types of cabinets to give them a fresh, updated look. Our focus is on high-quality materials and precise work that fits your space and style.

Kitchen Cabinets


Kitchen cabinets take a lot of wear, so we make sure the refacing is durable. We replace door fronts, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping your cabinet boxes intact if they’re in good shape. Our materials include wood veneers, laminates, and thermofoil to suit different tastes.


You can choose from styles like shaker, raised panel, or flat panel. We also help with colors, finishes, and decorative molding to match your kitchen design. Updating your kitchen cabinets this way is faster and cheaper than a full replacement.

Bathroom Cabinets


Bathroom cabinets often need moisture-resistant surfaces. We use materials that hold up well in humid settings and prevent warping or damage. Our refacing includes cabinet doors, drawer faces, and sometimes new hardware like handles and knobs.


We focus on creating a smooth, clean finish that fits your bathroom’s look. Whether you want a classic white finish or a bold color, we have options. You don’t have to worry about major construction work since we keep the original cabinet structure.

Custom Storage Solutions



Custom storage cabinets are designed to fit your needs in places like garages, home offices, or closets. We reface these to refresh their appearance and improve durability. Our work includes upgrading surfaces, replacing doors, and adding organizational features.


We help choose materials that are strong and look good in different environments. You get cabinets that work well for storing tools, files, or household items, all without replacing the entire unit. This approach saves time and money while improving your storage space.

Our Cabinet Refacing Process

We focus on clear steps to improve your cabinets, from the first chat to the final fitting. Each part of our process is designed to give you a strong, lasting result with attention to detail.

Initial Design Consultation


We begin by meeting with you to understand your style and needs. During this talk, we look at your current cabinets and discuss the look you want.


We show you material samples, door styles, and finishes to help you choose. This helps us create a clear plan that fits your kitchen’s style and your budget.


Our goal is to set the project up for success by making sure all your preferences are noted before work starts.

Preparation and Removal Steps



Before starting, we clear the area around your cabinets. We cover countertops and floors to protect them during the process.


We remove the cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware carefully. This allows us to work on the cabinet frames without damage.


Any repairs to the existing cabinet boxes are done at this stage. This ensures a smooth surface for new veneers or laminates.

Installation and Detailing



Next, we apply the new cabinet doors and drawer fronts with precision. We use strong adhesives and fasteners to secure the new surfaces.


We install new hinges, handles, and other hardware chosen during the consultation. This adds updated style and improves function.


After installation, we check every detail to ensure doors align perfectly and nothing is loose. Our final step is cleaning the work area so your kitchen looks fresh and ready to use.

Benefits of Cabinet Refacing

Cost-Effectiveness



Refacing cabinets costs less than full cabinet replacement. We only replace the cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and change the veneer over the existing frames. This saves us money on materials and labor.


Since the cabinet boxes remain intact, we avoid the cost of removing and disposing of old cabinets. This lowers expenses further and allows us to get new looks without breaking the bank. We often see a price difference of 30% to 50% less compared to complete replacement.


Time-Saving Advantages


Refacing is much faster than building new cabinets. Usually, it takes a few days to complete a refacing project. This means less disruption in our homes.


Because cabinet boxes stay in place, we skip demolition. That cuts the time spent on cleanup and setup. Contractors can focus on installing new doors and finishes quickly. For busy households, this speed is a major benefit.

Environmental Impact


Refacing uses the existing cabinet structure, reducing the amount of wood and materials thrown away. This helps lower the waste sent to landfills.


By reusing the cabinet boxes, we conserve resources that would be needed for new products. This process also lowers emissions from manufacturing new cabinets. Choosing refacing supports a more environmentally friendly home upgrade.
