Cabinet Refacing

Upgrade your cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and finishes while keeping your existing layout.

Cabinet refacing is a great option if you’re happy with your current layout but want a completely updated look and feel.

By replacing doors and drawer fronts, we’re able to give your cabinets a more modern, durable finish without the need for full replacement.

MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

Door & Drawer Materials

All new doors and drawer fronts are constructed from solid wood (typically brown maple) unless otherwise specified.
Finish & Durability

Refacing provides a more durable finish compared to painting existing doors, since new materials are used. We use a 2-part paint product with a hardening agent for our final coat, and the doors and drawers are dried under infrared lights. At a minimum we generally expect 2 coats of primer and 2-3 coats of paint/topcoat.
Hardware & Hinges
  • Soft-close hinges are installed
  • Hardware must be selected and finalized ahead of time
Existing Cabinet Boxes

Your existing cabinet boxes remain in place, so:

  • Layout stays the same
  • Structural condition must be suitable for refacing

Before Your Cabinet Refacing Project

To prepare for your project:

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS & EXPECTATIONS

Will this look like brand new cabinets?

Refacing provides a significant visual upgrade, but existing cabinet boxes are still part of the final result.
Can everything be perfectly aligned?

Minor variations are normal due to existing cabinet structure and home conditions.
Should I choose refacing or painting?

Refacing is typically recommended if:

  • You want to upgrade the look of your cabinets
  • You want to eliminate heavy wood grain
  • You want a more durable, long-term finish
  • Your cabinet doors and/or drawers are damaged beyond repair
What colors paint can I choose from?

We have over 100 color samples in our showroom and can closely match most Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore paint colors. View our custom paint policy.

Because we use a professional cabinet-grade product with a specific sheen, the final color may appear slightly different than standard wall paint.

If you’re concerned about the final color, we can create a sample for review prior to your project (additional fees may apply).
Can I keep my existing hardware?

Yes—existing hardware can be reinstalled if desired.

If you plan to provide your own hardware, it must be delivered ahead of your project start date to avoid delays.
