Cabinet Refacing Techniques

We focus on precision cabinet refacing options that replace doors and drawer fronts while preserving existing cabinet frameworks, essential for historic preservation compliance and cost-effective updates. Our process includes applying high-quality veneer or laminate overlays to cabinet boxes, revitalizing appearance while respecting original construction methods and materials.

This technique reduces waste and limits disruption during renovation projects, particularly important in occupied homes and operating businesses.
