What is cabinet refacing?
Cabinet refacing enables you to revitalize your kitchen with new doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer, while keeping your existing cabinet boxes. Without changing the familiar layout of your kitchen, you can improve both the appearance and durability. You can create a "new kitchen" look without the "new kitchen" price tag.

Door and drawer fronts can wear down faster than the frames. So it's not always necessary to install new custom cabinets. Refacing gives you the option of changing your look without gutting your kitchen or wallet.

What is a Tune-Up?
A Tune-Up is our proprietary wood reconditioning process. We start by separating then removing the build-up (dirt, grease, wax, smoke, and dust) from the wood's original finish. Then we touch up and blend the areas where color may have faded and apply a special colorant. Finally, we can treat your cabinets with a special penetrating oil that restores dried-out wood fibers and/or apply an entirely fresh coat of finish. We'll have your wood looking like new in no time!
Is wood reconditioning the right choice for me?
There are three signs your cabinets might need reconditioning: 1) there's stubborn build-up on the wood, 2) the stain/finish has worn away, or 3) there is minor damage to your cabinets. If one or more of these describe your cabinets, but they don't need to be completely replaced, reconditioning could be the right choice for you.
