Cabinet refacing is a cost-effective and efficient way to give your kitchen or bathroom a fresh new look without replacing the entire cabinet system. Instead of tearing out your existing cabinets, this process involves updating the exterior by replacing the cabinet doors and drawer fronts and refinishing or re-laminating the cabinet boxes to match the new color. This approach saves you money, reduces waste, and minimizes disruption to your daily routine. By keeping your existing cabinets and simply updating their appearance, you can achieve a stunning transformation without the hassle and expense of a full renovation.
Cabinet refacing offers numerous benefits, including:
Cost Savings: Refacing your cabinets can save up to 50% of the cost of replacing them entirely.
By reusing your existing cabinet boxes, you reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and conserve natural resources.
Time-Saving: The cabinet refacing process typically takes less time than a full cabinet replacement, minimizing the disruption to your daily routine.
Customization: You can choose from a wide range of styles, materials, and finishes to match your taste and decor.
Increased Property Value: A refaced kitchen or bathroom can increase the value of your property and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
The cabinet refacing process typically involves the following steps:
Consultation: Our experienced cabinet refacing technicians will assess your existing cabinets and discuss your design preferences and budget.
Measurement: We take precise measurements of your cabinets to ensure a perfect fit for the new doors and drawer fronts.

The cost of cabinet refacing varies depending on the size of your project, the materials and finishes you choose, and the complexity of the design. On average, the cost of cabinet refacing can range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the scope of the project.
