About Cabinet Refacing

Cabinet Refacing is a method of updating cabinets with new Doors and resurfaced Faces. It is an excellent alternative to replacing and/or painting the cabinets.

Top Benefits of Refacing with new Delta Cabinet Doors

#1. Cost & Convenience. Refacing runs only about ½ the cost of replacing your cabinets and takes ½ the time. Most projects are completed within one week, and you don’t even have to remove the contents of your cabinets.

#2. There is no need to replace your countertops and hire other subs like a plumber and/or electrician.

#3. Value added to the home. Cabinet Refacing is of the highest ROI (Return On Investment) renovation projects you can choose for your home.

#4. No Painting or Sanding inside your home. All the messy work is done in our shop or outside. Our crews clean up after themselves daily. You maintain use of your kitchen during the installation process. While limited a bit during the days of progress, you’ll have full use in the evenings.

#5. Local Economy. 90% of the monies you invest are kept local. When you replace cabinets, that are mostly manufactured out of state/country, the money is sent away and rarely returns to your neighborhood.

Our unique method is one where All Doors and Drawer Fronts are replaced. We also provide new Soft Close hinges and Full Overlay styling. We overlay end-panels, cabinet-bottoms, and toe-kick and Side Panels, (plain or deco-panels optional). We then resurface the fascia with new 1/4-wood skins (similar to paneling). It’s almost like tiling over the old cabinets with new wood paneling. All materials are finished to match your selection in our shop, not your home. Adding new modern knobs/pulls really accentuates your new kitchen and makes for a top-shelf look.
