Refacing FAQs

Does refacing include the inside of the cabinets?
Conventional resurfacing addresses exclusively external surfaces. Interior zones remain unaltered, though we provide painting or supplementary shelving installation for additional investment if requested.
How long does the new veneer last?
When applied correctly by professionals, the veneer is permanent. It won't peel or bubble and is designed to last 20+ years, just like the finish on new cabinets.
Can I add new cabinets during refacing?
Yes! We can build matching custom cabinets to extend your kitchen, add an island, or fill a gap, finishing them to match the refaced cabinets perfectly.
Is refacing better than painting?
Refacing transforms the style (e.g., from arched to shaker), whereas painting only changes the color. Refacing also provides a more durable factory finish on the high-use doors than field painting usually can.
What if my cabinets are particle board?
As long as they aren't water damaged or warped, particle board boxes are fine to reface. The new veneers and doors actually strengthen the existing boxes.
