Best Fit
When cabinet refacing makes sense
- Existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound.
- The kitchen layout works and does not need major changes.
- Doors, drawer fronts, hinges, or hardware look dated or worn.
- You want the appearance of new cabinets without full cabinet replacement.
- You want to combine cabinet door replacement with soft-close hinges, hardware, or storage upgrades.
Choosing the right service
Refacing, painting, or replacement?
Refacing usually makes sense when the cabinet boxes are solid but the visible fronts need a major style update. Painting may be enough when the existing doors are in good condition and you mainly want a color change. Full replacement is usually reserved for cabinets with poor layout, major structural failure, or a completely different design goal.

Questions?
Service FAQs
Is cabinet refacing cheaper than replacing cabinets?
Often, yes. Pricing depends on cabinet condition, door style, drawer fronts, hardware, finish scope, repairs, and upgrades, but refacing keeps usable cabinet boxes in place.
Can refacing include soft-close hinges and drawer slides?
Yes. Soft-close European hinges, soft-close drawer slides, and full-extension drawer slides can be discussed during the estimate when the cabinet boxes can support the upgrade.
Can cabinet refacing change the door style?
Yes. Refacing can include custom cabinet doors, replacement drawer fronts, full-overlay sizing, paint-grade or stain-grade materials, and a finish selected for the new look.
