Refacing goes a step beyond paint. We replace the doors and drawer fronts with new ones in the style you choose, cover the visible frames with matching veneer or paint, and add new hinges and hardware. You get a completely different door style (shaker, flat panel, raised) without demolition, new countertops or moving a single wall. It's the right fit when you want a new style, not just a new color.
Refacing generally runs $7,000–$16,000 for an average kitchen, depending on door style, material and the number of doors. Doors are made to order, so it takes longer than painting. Free written quote. Final pricing depends on the number of doors and drawers, the condition of the existing finish and the options you choose, so we give you a free written quote before any work begins. No surprises after we start.
Most kitchens run roughly $3,500–$8,500 depending on the number of doors and drawers, the condition of the current finish and the color change. Refinishing is typically $3,500–$9,000 and refacing $7,000–$16,000. Every quote is free and in writing.

Painting changes the color and keeps your door style. Refinishing keeps real wood and refreshes the stain. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts for a different style. We'll tell you which fits at the free estimate.
Most kitchens take about a week. Refacing takes longer because the new doors are made to order.
A properly prepped, sprayed cabinet-grade finish holds up well to daily use. Chipping and peeling almost always come from skipped prep, the wrong primer or regular wall paint. We degrease, sand, prime with a bonding primer and spray a hard-wearing topcoat.
No. We remove the doors and drawer fronts and spray them flat so the finish is smooth with no runs, then reinstall them. The boxes and frames are sprayed in place.
Yes. Oak has a heavy open grain that shows through paint unless it's filled. We grain-fill for a smooth modern look, or leave some grain if you prefer.
Yes. Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed in a finishing area and the boxes are sprayed in place with the area masked off. You can usually keep using the sink and appliances, with some days of limited access to the cabinets.
