Cabinet refacing

Cabinet refacing keeps sound boxes and replaces doors, drawer fronts and exposed finishes when the existing layout is worth preserving.

Cabinetry on one of our Chicago jobs

What decides it

The boxes must be square, securely mounted and arranged in a layout worth keeping. If they fail that test, new faces preserve the very problem you hoped to fix.

Why this is worth doing properly

Cabinetry occupies more of the room than anything else, so the order must account for appliances, trim, fillers and corners that are not square. We set the boxes level, fasten them to framing and scribe the finish to the walls that actually exist.

What you get from us

  • 01

    Solve the layout before ordering

    Aisles, appliance doors, the distance from sink to range and clearance behind the stools are drawn to scale first. Correcting the layout after cabinets arrive is no longer a design change.

  • 02

    Specify appliances before cabinets

    Every appliance comes with exact opening, ventilation and clearance requirements. Reading them before the cabinet order prevents permanent gaps, blocked doors and improvised fillers.

  • 03

    One crew throughout

    The same crew carries the job from demolition through final trim. Separately licensed plumbing, electrical and gas contractors work within the same coordinated schedule.

  • 04

    Nothing hidden without approval

    If demolition reveals structural load, a blocked drain route or old wiring, you receive photographs and a written price before the condition is covered.
