Cabinet refacing is one of the more cost-effective ways to give your kitchen a fresh look without a full remodel. Here’s a clear breakdown of when it makes sense and how it works.
Is Refacing Right for Your Kitchen?
Yes, if:
- Your existing cabinet boxes are still solid and square
- You’re happy with the current layout
- You want a faster, less expensive update than full replacement
Probably not, if:
- The boxes are damaged, warped, or falling apart
- You want to change the layout or add significant storage
- You’re planning a complete kitchen overhaul
What Refacing Actually Involves
We remove the old doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, then install new ones. In many cases we can also:
- Add soft-close hinges and slides
- Build deeper or additional drawers
- Paint or veneer the existing boxes for a more finished look
The boxes stay in place, which is why the process is faster and less expensive than tearing everything out.
How the Process Usually Goes
- We measure for new doors and drawer fronts
- New components are ordered or built
- Old doors and fronts are removed
- Boxes are cleaned, repaired if needed, and prepped
- New doors, fronts, and hardware are installed
Most jobs can be completed in a few days once the new parts are ready.
