Boxes still square, finish just dated. Refacing keeps the existing cabinet boxes in place and replaces doors, drawer fronts, and the finish on exposed faces. It's a strong fit for older homes where the carpentry is sound but the look has aged out.

Cibolo Custom Cabinets checks box condition first, honestly, before recommending refacing over a full replacement. No upsell if the simpler path works.

FAQs

Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing FAQs

Is cabinet refacing worth it or should I just replace everything?

If the boxes are square and structurally sound, refacing saves real money over full replacement. If there's water damage, swelling, or you want to change the layout, replacement makes more sense.

How long does refacing take compared to full replacement?

Refacing is faster since there's no new box fabrication, usually a couple weeks shorter than a full kitchen build.

Can refacing match an existing finish elsewhere in the house?

That's one of its strengths, matching trim or cabinetry already in adjoining rooms.

Does refacing need a permit?

Since it doesn't touch plumbing or electrical.
