Our Cupboard Refacing and Cabinet Services
We help you find Pros who offer a spectrum of cabinet services so you can choose the scope that fits your kitchen and budget. Services include: cabinet refinish, cabinet refacing, cupboard refacing, kitchen cabinet refinishers, kitchen cabinet renovation, and kitchen cabinet replacement. Each Pro specializes in different materials and finishes; when you request a match by zip code we prioritize Pros who list the services you need.
Service Types
Cabinet refinish — surface sanding and new finish to restore original cabinets. Cabinet refacing/Cupboard refacing — replace doors and drawer fronts and apply new veneer to existing cabinet boxes. Kitchen cabinet renovation — larger updates that may include reconfiguration, new hardware, and layout changes. Kitchen cabinet replacement — full removal and installation of new cabinetry when cupboards are structurally unsound or a different layout is required.
How Cupboard Refacing Works
Cupboard refacing updates the visible surfaces of existing cabinet boxes without the time and cost of full replacement. Typical steps a matched Pro follows: inspection and measurements, selection of door style and veneer or laminate, removal of old doors and hardware, surface preparation of cabinet boxes, installation of new doors/drawer fronts and new hardware, and final adjustments and cleanup. The exact workflow depends on cabinet condition and materials chosen.
What is included and what can vary
Included: new doors/drawer fronts, veneer or laminate applied to visible cabinet surfaces, and reinstallation with adjustments. Variables: extent of box repair, replacement of face frames, hardware upgrades, removal of appliances or countertops for access, and lead times for custom doors. If underlying cabinet boxes are damaged, a Pro may recommend partial or full replacement instead of refacing.
When to Choose Refinish, Refacing, Renovation, or Replacement
Choosing the right service depends on condition, budget, and desired outcome. Refinishing is best when cabinets are structurally sound but the finish is worn. Cupboard refacing is efficient when you want a new look but existing cabinet boxes are in good shape. Renovation works for broader design changes or layout adjustments. Replacement is recommended when boxes are warped, water-damaged, or when a new layout is required. A local Pro matched to your zip code can inspect and advise which option is appropriate.
Limitations to be aware of
Refacing cannot correct major structural defects or significant layout limitations. Some finishes and custom door styles require longer lead times. Costs and timeline vary widely by material and scope; you should request a written estimate from the Pro who visits your home.
How We Match You with a Local Pro
We connect homeowners with professionals who service the zip code you provide. When you request a match, we use your zip code to identify Pros that list the services you need. Before recommending a Pro, we review their public profiles and portfolios to confirm they advertise the relevant services. After you choose a Pro, they can schedule an on-site inspection and provide a written estimate that reflects your specific cabinets and material choices.
What we do—and what we don’t do
We facilitate matching based on service offerings and zip code. We do not perform work ourselves. We do not guarantee specific outcomes, prices, or timelines; those are set by the Pro you select after an on-site assessment.
Preparing for a Pro Visit
To make an on-site assessment efficient, gather measurements or photos of your current cabinetry, note any damage or functional issues, list preferred finish styles or materials, and identify access constraints (e.g., appliance removal, tight spaces). The Pro will use this information to produce a written estimate and timeline.
Common homeowner checklist
Photos of all cabinet elevations, list of functional problems (sticking doors, broken hinges), preferred door styles or finish examples, planned timeline constraints, and any budget considerations you want the Pro to know in advance.
Cupboard Refacing: Materials and Maintenance
Materials used in refacing commonly include real wood veneer, thermofoil, laminate, and painted MDF doors. Each material has trade-offs in appearance, cost, and maintenance. A matched Pro can show samples and explain care instructions. Maintenance typically involves gentle cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals, and promptly addressing moisture exposure; durability depends on materials and installation quality.
Typical project timeline
Project timelines vary: small refacing projects can often be completed in a few days, while larger jobs or custom doors may take several weeks from inspection to installation. Your matched Pro will provide a projected timeline in the written estimate after on-site assessment.
