Kitchen Cabinet Makeovers & Restoration

A kitchen cabinet makeover typically costs 40-60% less than full replacement, making it an excellent value for homeowners looking to update their kitchen. Our cabinet refacing services range from $6,000 to $12,000 for an average kitchen, which includes new custom solid wood doors and drawer fronts, high-quality veneers, and modern hardware. If you prefer to keep your existing doors and simply have them refinished, costs typically range from $3,000 to $6,000. We provide detailed, transparent estimates so you can make an informed decision.

Cabinet refacing is often the better choice if your current kitchen layout works well and your cabinet boxes are structurally sound. Refacing offers a dramatically faster turnaround—typically completing in about 1 week compared to 4 weeks or more for full replacement. It's also a more environmentally sustainable option since you're preserving the existing cabinet structures rather than sending them to a landfill. However, if you need to change your kitchen layout significantly or your cabinet boxes are damaged beyond repair, replacement may be the better option. We'll help you evaluate your specific situation during your free consultation.

Most kitchen cabinet makeovers require just 3-5 days of on-site work. We complete the door and drawer front finishing in our shop before installation, which ensures superior quality control and reduces disruption to your home. During the refacing process, your kitchen remains functional for most of the time—you'll still have access to your sink and appliances. This minimal disruption is one of the key advantages of refacing over full replacement.

Absolutely! One of the advantages of cabinet refacing is the ability to completely transform your kitchen's look, including changing wood species. We apply new hardwood veneers to your existing cabinet boxes, allowing you to switch from Oak to Cherry, Maple, or any other species seamlessly. The new doors and drawer fronts are custom-built from your chosen wood, giving you a complete color and grain transformation that looks like an entirely new kitchen.

Yes, we specialize in repairing water-damaged sink cabinets and other cabinet structures. Our restoration process includes structural floor replacement in damaged cabinet boxes, mold-resistant treatments to prevent future issues, and reinforcement of weakened frames. This repair work is often done as part of a larger refacing or restoration project, ensuring your cabinets are both beautiful and structurally sound for years to come.

We use industrial-grade conversion varnishes that are specifically formulated for kitchen cabinet use. These professional finishes are significantly more durable than standard house paint or DIY cabinet refinishing products. Our conversion varnishes are food-safe once cured, highly resistant to common kitchen chemicals, and provide excellent protection against moisture, heat, and daily wear. The result is a factory-quality finish that will maintain its beauty for years.

Yes, we can build and install new matching cabinets as part of your refacing project. Many customers take this opportunity to add a kitchen island, expand pantry storage, or install cabinets in new locations. We custom-build these new units to match your refaced cabinets perfectly, ensuring seamless integration between new and refaced sections. We can also modify existing cabinets to accommodate new appliances or change door configurations.
