Refacing is not one standardized product. Materials, finish, hardware, joinery, and final fit determine how the kitchen looks, moves, and holds up over time.
01
Solid-wood refacing material
Exposed face frames are an important part of the cabinet’s appearance. We use 1/4-inch solid wood, stained or painted, to give those surfaces a substantial finish that respects the construction. We can often cover more of the frame, but we work within the limits of the existing cabinetry.
02
Finished before installation
Your doors, face-frame wood, panels, and trim arrive prefinished. We install those finished components in your home. For frameless edge banding, we select a close color match to the surrounding finish.
03
BLUM movement systems
New Blum Movento drawer slides and new hinges are included in every full refacing project.
04
Finished maple dovetail drawers
Every full refacing project includes new solid, finished dovetailed drawer boxes, Blum Movento drawer slides, and new hinges.
05
Doors chosen as architecture
We’ll explain the options and share choices other customers have been happy with. Our role is to inform and guide. The final choice should feel right to you.
06
Custom additions that belong
Where it makes sense, we can improve storage and make selected changes to the layout as part of a full project.

Fit matters
Is refacing right for your cabinets?
Consider what your kitchen already does well and where it needs to change.
Potential in the kitchen you have.
Sound boxes and a layout you enjoy are useful starting points for a refacing conversation.
Cabinet boxes are structurally sound
You generally like the existing layout
The cabinetry is dated but well built
You want a major visual and functional upgrade
You want to avoid unnecessary demolition
When a different approach makes sense.
Damaged boxes or a major layout change may call for more than refacing.
Cabinet boxes are failing or badly damaged
You want to completely redesign the layout
You only need painting or small repairs
The project is a quick door-only replacement
The existing casework is not worth preserving
Our process
See how refacing comes together.
Review the stages, decisions, and preparation involved in the work.
01
Fit check
Enter your contact details, ZIP, and cabinet counts for a rough estimate. Choose a visit time where online scheduling is available; otherwise we’ll be in touch to schedule.
02
Measure and define
We assess the cabinets, compare samples, and measure your kitchen. Your written quote follows the visit.
03
Select and approve
After your deposit, we take detailed measurements and finalize selections before ordering.
04
Build and finish
We order the prefinished components and arrange your installation week once the supplier confirms timing.
05
Install and adjust
We install, align, and finish the cabinetry, usually in two to five days. Countertops follow an additional schedule.
Find the character of your kitchen.
Compare profiles, surfaces, colors, and hardware as one coordinated palette.
We bring samples to the initial home visit so you can compare materials and finishes in the room where they will live. If there’s something specific you’d like to see, we’ll bring it to the detailed measurement appointment.
A kitchen should feel good to use.
Consider drawer function and storage improvements alongside the new exterior.
Solid dovetailed drawer boxes, Blum Movento slides, and new hinges are included in every full refacing project. They’re part of delivering a kitchen that works as well as it looks.
Drawer conversions, pull-outs, and lazy Susans
Pantry storage and changes to islands or peninsulas
Open shelving, doors, crown, and decorative hood covers
Available within full projects. Electrical and plumbing are arranged separately; hood inserts and ventilation are outside our scope.

A rough planning range is not a binding quote. Measurements, condition, materials, and the full scope must be confirmed.
Questions about cabinet refacing?
Answers to the questions that matter when considering a kitchen update.
What affects the cost of cabinet refacing?Scope, size, materials, and options all contribute to the price.
Cabinet counts, condition, materials, trim, storage accessories, and additions affect the scope. New dovetailed drawer boxes, Blum Movento slides, and new hinges are standard inclusions in full refacing. A planning range is not a binding quote; measurements and written scope are required.
Do you paint or stain the materials in my home?
The doors, panels, face-frame wood, and trim arrive prefinished. We fit and install those components in your kitchen.
Are the new drawers and hardware optional?
New solid dovetailed drawer boxes, Blum Movento slides, and new hinges are included in every full refacing project. They’re part of our standard.
What is the difference between face-frame and frameless cabinets?Construction and door style are related choices, but they are not the same thing.
We can often cover more of the face frame, but the cabinets retain their original construction. We’ll explain the appearance that’s achievable with your kitchen.
Can you change the layout?
We can make selected changes as part of a full project, including changes to islands and peninsulas, removing upper cabinets, and adding storage. We’ll assess what is practical for your kitchen. Any required electrical, plumbing, or ventilation work is handled separately.
Can I hire you just for shelves or a hood cover?
Those additions are available as part of full projects. We don’t offer them as standalone jobs.
How long does a refacing project take?Lead time and installation time are separate parts of the schedule.
Lead time depends on materials and our schedule. We’ll discuss current timing with you and choose an installation week once we have the supplier’s ETA. Refacing itself usually takes about three days, with a typical range of two to five. New countertops require additional time.
What will daily life look like during installation?Plan around the work with clear expectations for your project.
Expect limited kitchen use, noise, and dust during installation. If countertops are being replaced, the sink and dishwasher may also be unavailable between removal and the completion of installation and separate plumbing reconnection. We’ll explain the sequence for your project.
How should I prepare?
Clear the countertops and empty the drawers. Clear items around hinges and empty cabinets receiving pull-outs. Remove other cabinet contents if you want to avoid dust on them. We’ll discuss access and a suitable setup area for tools. Any necessary disconnections must be arranged separately before the affected work begins.
Who will I deal with?
You’ll deal directly with an owner-operator. We have no salespeople.
Are my existing cabinets suitable for refacing?The condition and construction of the boxes help determine the answer.
We’ll assess whether repairs or limited box replacement make sense. If the damage is widespread or new cabinets would be the better choice, we’ll tell you.
