Cabinet Refacing

Transform Your Kitchen With Custom Cabinet Refacing

Cabinet refacing is a smarter, faster, and more affordable way to give your kitchen a fresh, updated look—without the mess or cost of a full remodel. If your kitchen feels outdated but your cabinets are still in good shape, cabinet refacing is the perfect solution. Instead of tearing everything out, refacing allows you to keep your existing cabinet boxes and replace only the doors and drawer fronts.


WHAT IS CABINET REFACING?

Cabinet refacing involves removing the old cabinet doors and drawer fronts and adding brand new ones – custom-built to your specification. Your existing cabinet boxes in remain intact, but are refinished, giving the appearance of completely new cabinets without the demolition or high price tag. By upgrading only the visible surfaces, you can achieve a completely new look for your kitchen—without tearing everything out.

Why Choose Cabinet Refacing Over a Full Remodel?

Cost-effective:
Refacing saves up to 50% over full cabinet replacement. Cabinet refacing is less expensive than a full cabinet renovation since it involves updating the appearance of existing cabinets rather than installing new ones. This can save homeowners a significant amount of money, especially if their existing cabinets are in good structural condition.

Time-saving:
Most projects are completed in days, not weeks. Since the cabinet boxes remain in place, there's no need for extensive demolition and installation, which can minimize disruption to the household and reduce the overall project timeline.

Eco-friendly:
Cabinet refacing is a more environmentally friendly option compared to replacing cabinets because it reduces the amount of waste generated. By reusing the existing cabinet boxes and only replacing the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, less material ends up in landfills.

Customization options:
Refacing allows homeowners to update the look of their cabinets while maintaining the layout and functionality of their kitchen or bathroom. There are a wide variety of door styles, finishes, and hardware options available, allowing for customization to match the homeowner's aesthetic preferences and design goals.

Minimal disruption:
Since cabinet refacing involves less invasive work compared to full replacement, homeowners can continue to use their kitchen or bathroom throughout the process with minimal disruption to their daily routines.

Increased home value:
Updating the appearance of cabinets through refacing can enhance the overall aesthetics of a kitchen or bathroom, which can potentially increase the resale value of the home. It's a relatively small investment that can yield significant returns in terms of perceived value to potential buyers.
