Refresh Your Kitchen with Expert Cabinet Refacing
Cabinet refacing updates the look of existing kitchen cabinets by replacing the doors and drawer fronts and applying a new veneer or laminate to the cabinet boxes, while keeping the cabinet framework intact. It’s a popular renovation option that gives your kitchen a fresh, new appearance for a fraction of the cost and complexity of a full cabinet replacement.

How It Works
Instead of replacing your cabinets, we update them with new exteriors and finishes while keeping the existing framework intact. The process is simple and efficient.
1. Preparation
The process begins with removing the old cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware.
2. Veneering the Boxes
New, high-quality wood veneer or rigid thermofoil is carefully applied to the visible surfaces of the cabinet boxes and sides.
3. New Doors and Hardware
New, customized cabinet doors and drawer fronts are installed.
4. Finishing Touches
New hardware, like handles and knobs, is added to complete the transformation.
