Cabinet refacing, painting, or replacement?
What each approach keeps, what it changes, and how to decide whether your existing cabinets are worth keeping.
Before you choose
A little clarity for your kitchen plans.
You may be comparing a few ways to update your kitchen, or wondering what a refacing quote should include. These guides explain the choices we work through with homeowners.
Written from NW Cabinet’s project process and documented work. Our own service approach is identified alongside the general guidance.
How to compare cabinet refacing quotes
A practical scope checklist for doors, exterior surfaces, drawers, hardware, installation and the work arranged separately.
Cabinet materials and finishes, in plain language
Understand fronts, cores, face frames, edges and finish samples before choosing the look of your refaced kitchen.
What to expect at home during cabinet refacing
Plan for cabinet preparation, limited kitchen use, noise, dust and the separate sequence for new countertops.
Want to look at your own kitchen?
You can start before you have a final style or color in mind. We will look at the existing cabinets, compare samples and discuss what makes sense.
