Kitchen Refacing: A Smart, Stylish Alternative to a Full Remodel

When it comes to remodeling, kitchen cabinet refacing has its share of myths and misconceptions. After more than forty years in the remodeling industry, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to set the record straight.

Many people think refacing is just a temporary fix until they can save up for a “real” remodel. That couldn’t be further from the truth. A professionally done kitchen reface can completely transform the look and feel of your space, and when it’s done right, the results can rival a full remodel at a fraction of the cost.

What a Toupin Kitchen Reface Looks Like

If your kitchen has a good footprint, meaning you don’t want or need to move walls, plumbing, or change the layout, refacing could be your perfect solution.

Here’s what’s involved:

Cabinet Frames Stay Put: We keep your existing box frames if they’re in good condition.

New Doors and Drawers: We replace all cabinet doors and drawer fronts with brand-new ones.

Upgraded Hardware: Hinges, drawer glides, knobs, and pulls are replaced or upgraded.

Solid Wood Overlays: 3/8" solid wood, stained to your preferred color, is applied to your cabinet frames.

Professional Painting Option: For a budget-friendly alternative, cabinets can be painted instead of veneered just remember, quality painting is 90% prep and 10% paint.

Marcos has taken off the doors to be sanded and primed off site. Now he is working on the cabinet boxes, sanding and fixing any nicks.

The Benefits of Cabinet Refacing

No Permits Needed: If you’re not changing your kitchen’s layout, plumbing, or electrical, you typically won’t need a city permit, saving time and hassle.

Cost Savings: New cabinetry can be one of the biggest expenses in a remodel. Refacing lets you get the look of new cabinets without the hefty price tag.

Faster Turnaround: A full kitchen remodel can take six weeks or more, often leaving you without a usable kitchen. A reface can be completed in five to ten days and you can usually still use parts of your kitchen during the process.

Increased Value: A beautiful, updated kitchen not only improves your day-to-day life but is also one of the top features homebuyers look for when purchasing a home.
