Common questions

What is the difference between cabinet refinishing and cabinet refacing?

Cabinet refinishing keeps your existing cabinet doors and drawer fronts and restores them with new stain or paint, hardware, and touch-ups. Cabinet refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes but replaces the doors, drawer fronts, trim, panels, and hardware for a completely new look without a full rebuild.

When does refacing make sense?

When your cabinet boxes are solid but the doors and fronts are dated or worn. We keep the boxes, replace the parts you see, and finish everything to match.
