Cabinet Refacing Service

Transform Your Home Without Replacing Your Cabinets

Refacing gives your kitchen a completely new look by updating the doors, drawer fronts, and exterior surfaces — all while keeping your existing cabinet boxes. It’s the fastest, cleanest way to achieve a dramatic transformation without the cost or disruption of a full remodel.

The Difference Is in the Details

A Smarter Way to Upgrade Your Kitchen


Refacing replaces the visible parts of your cabinets with brand‑new materials while keeping the internal structure intact. You get the look of a full replacement at a fraction of the cost — and in a fraction of the time.

Refacing Includes:

  • New cabinet doors and drawer fronts
  • New hardware (hinges, pulls, knobs)
  • New veneer or panels on cabinet boxes
  • Optional crown molding or trim upgrades
  • Optional Respraying for a Seamless Finish

Refacing is ideal when your cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the style feels outdated.

What Is Cabinet Refacing?


Our Refacing Process

Precision Work. Beautiful Results.


01   Preparation & Protection

We begin by masking off surrounding areas and protecting floors, countertops, and appliances. Your kitchen stays clean, functional, and undisturbed throughout the project.

02  Removal & Surface Preparation

Doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are carefully removed. Cabinet boxes are cleaned, prepped, and ready for new veneer or panels to ensure proper adhesion and a flawless finish.

03 Installation of New Doors & Drawer Fronts

Your new components are installed with precision for perfect alignment, smooth operation, and a fresh, updated look.

04 Veneer or Panel Application

We apply high‑quality veneer or matching panels to the cabinet boxes, creating a cohesive, fully updated appearance that matches your new doors and drawer fronts.

05 Final Inspection & Reassembly

Cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware are reinstalled with care. We inspect every detail to ensure the finish meets our standards — and yours
