LOOKING TO UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN?
TOTAL RENOVATION/REPLACING
Replacing your kitchen cabinets is the most expensive option between refinishing, refacing & replacing. For this process, your existing cabinets will be removed and replaced with brand new cabinets. This process typically takes the longest and requires new cabinets, counters, electric work, drywall repairs, and plumbing work just to name a few.
​
Replacing your cabinets offers you new possibilities, but it is not a cheap option. According to current market trends, the price of a standard full kitchen renovation costs around $35,000. Of course, various factors will affect that price.
REFACING
WE call this our best value option! Refacing your cabinets involves keeping the current layout, but completely replacing the existing cabinet doors, fixtures and visible surfaces with a new door/drawer face. This works well for homeowners who want a new shape for their cabinet doors and drawers but don’t have plans to change the existing kitchen cabinet layout. We offer 30+ instock door styles and can custom make anything to fit your desired look. The process takes 2-3 days only in your house from start to finish. Once we get a deposit, we order the doors and order colors for your project!
​
Refacing option includes soft close hinges, and drilling for any size handles/ knobs you choose. All doors are full overlay exposing minimal amounts of the existing cabinet frames. we can also make faux doors, or 1/8 inch sprayed end paneling as well as adding custom made cabinets to a kitchen design!
REFINISH
Cabinet Refinishing is the most affordable and fastest option when considering to update your kitchen cabinets! When choosing to refinish, we will be working with your existing cabinets and typically takes less than a week turnaround! Our products are European wood coatings specifically meant for cabinets and furniture, and we add a catalyst that hardens and makes the products ultra durable!  We will give you that factory finish of new cabinets without the price tag of replacing!  We understand how disruptive our presence is to your daily life and routine, and have strategic systems in place to be as efficient and effective as possible. Much like a First Response team, we react quickly, safely and methodically to ensure your cabinets are saved!
