Find clear answers to the most common questions about cabinet refacing, the process, timelines, cost, and what to expect when working with Let’s Face It.
Cabinet refacing is one of the most popular kitchen upgrades for homeowners who want a dramatic transformation without the cost, disruption, or timeline of a full remodel. Below are answers to the most common questions we receive about cabinet refacing, our process, pricing, materials, and what to expect when working with Let’s Face It.
Cabinet refacing updates the look of your kitchen by replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts while keeping the existing cabinet boxes in place. Exposed cabinet surfaces are finished to match, giving your kitchen a brand-new appearance without demolition.
Each project begins with precise measurements and a design consultation. Your existing doors and drawer fronts are removed, and new custom components are built to fit your kitchen exactly. Exposed cabinet surfaces are prepared and finished to match, then new doors, drawers, hinges, trim, and hardware are installed. Every project is completed by our in-house team and inspected for quality before completion.
Simply put, refacing is the cost-effective, time-saving, and cleaner way to transform your kitchen. You get a dramatic visual upgrade while preserving your existing, functional cabinet structure. Homeowners love it because it’s much faster, significantly cleaner, and far more sustainable than a total replacement. When skilled experts like Let’s Face It handle the installation, your refaced cabinets will be durable, long-lasting, and can look brand new for many years.
Refacing is one of the most budget-friendly kitchen upgrades available; It can save you up to 60% compared to a full remodel. The final price depends on a few key factors: the size of your kitchen, the specific materials you select, and the complexity of the design. Choosing premium wood veneers, custom finishes, or high-end hardware will increase the cost slightly, but the savings compared to a full tear-out and remodel are still huge.
Most cabinet refacing projects are completed in three to five days. Because your cabinet boxes stay in place, disruption is minimal and the timeline is fast.
We offer multiple refacing options based on budget, design goals, and material preference, including premium wood refacing and alternative material options. During your consultation, we walk you through the differences and help you choose the best solution for your kitchen.
