Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Before & After

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

Hi All! We just wanted to share a project we completed last year that is a great example of cabinet refacing. We've been specializing in cabinet refacing since the 1980's. We utilize finished veneer and endskins from Conestoga Wood to create high quality refaced kitchens for our clients. We also install brand new doors and drawers also supplied by Conestoga to complete the transformation!

    Sort of hard to assess a refacing unless you have before and after photos. That kitchen seems . . . perfectly functional!

    Sorry about that! The "After" pictures did not upload to our post. The existing kitchen was definitely perfectly functional - which is the ideal candidate for cabinet refacing! It's a great way to update the look of a kitchen without doing a complete demo/reno.

    Ah! nice. Are those new doors, or did you paint/refinish them? Like the panelled fridge in this context!

    @acm - Those are new doors and drawer fronts. They were finished by Conestoga to match all the new veneer and skins. Another benefit of cabinet refacing is the ability to order doors/drawers larger than the existing to cover more of the cabinet frame.

    I love the idea of refacing. This kitchen looks beautiful. Can you reface if the existing cabinets have been painted?

    @luvmidcentury - you can reface painted cabinets but it requires a lot of extra sanding before the veneer and skins are applied to the cabinetry. It may also depend on the quality of the paint job.

    Robinwood kitchens are the boxes painted or refaced with a veneer ? Does this last over time?

  • PRO

    The boxes are refaced with a wood veneer finished by our supplier. The ends are covered with 1/8" skins. We've been doing refacing for close to 30 years and our customers from way back when still love their refaced cabinetry! The difference between a good and bad refacing is in the quality of the materials used and the craftsmanship.

    Approximate cost? Looks great . Curious.

    Providing a cost for this kitchen would be helpful. Otherwise, maybe painting or replacing might be better way to go.

    Unfortunately to protect my clients privacy I cannot publicly release that information. However, I can tell you if we did a complete remodel here with all new cabinetry it would have been double the cost. Typically the larger the kitchen the greater the cost difference is between refacing and new cabinetry. Painting will almost always be less than cabinet refacing but the opportunity to change the door style and make modifications is limited. The overall quality of the finish of our refacing materials vs. painting produces a much nicer finished product. All the materials are factory finished and have a warranty. Hope this additional info is helpful!
