Refacing

A kitchen renovation method where existing cabinet boxes are kept in place while new doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer or laminate are applied to all visible surfaces. Refacing costs significantly less than full cabinet replacement and can be completed in days rather than weeks. It is an ideal option when cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the style, color, or finish needs updating.
