Is Cabinet Refacing Right for Your Kitchen?

Kitchen remodels can get expensive — fast. But what if your cabinet boxes are still in good shape and it’s only the doors and finishes that feel outdated? That’s where cabinet refacing comes in. At Cabinet Revive CT, we help homeowners across Connecticut upgrade their kitchens with this affordable, low-disruption solution.

What Is Cabinet Refacing?

Cabinet refacing involves replacing your cabinet doors and drawer fronts while leaving the cabinet boxes (frames) intact. We apply a matching veneer or paint to the exterior of the boxes so the entire set looks cohesive and brand new.

How Is It Different from Refinishing?

While refinishing restores or changes the color of your existing cabinet surfaces, refacing actually swaps out the door panels and drawer faces for completely new ones — giving you a true style and material upgrade without replacing the whole system.

Signs Cabinet Refacing Might Be Right for You:

• Your cabinet boxes are still sturdy and structurally sound
• You want to update the style or design (Shaker, flat-panel, etc.)
• The layout of your kitchen works well as-is
• You want to upgrade hardware, hinges, and finishes
• You need a faster and more cost-effective option than full remodeling

Benefits of Cabinet Refacing

• ✔️ Saves 40–60% compared to total replacement
• ✔️ Completed in just a few days
• ✔️ Minimal demolition and no disruption to countertops or flooring
• ✔️ Wide variety of door styles, colors, and hardware

When Refacing May Not Be Ideal

If your cabinet boxes are damaged by water, warped, or poorly built, replacement may be the better route. Also, if you’re planning to change the entire kitchen layout, cabinet refacing won’t address space or configuration changes.

Let’s Help You Decide

Cabinet refacing is a great option for homeowners who love their kitchen layout but want a refreshed, modern look. It’s quick, clean, and surprisingly affordable — and it can completely change the feel of your kitchen.
