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. We utilize durable overlay materials designed for longevity and wear resistance, ensuring updated cabinets maintain professional appearance and functionality for years of service.

We offer extensive paint finish options from matte to high-gloss sheens, providing flexibility to match existing décor or create entirely new design schemes.


Stain color selections range from light natural oak tones to rich dark walnut finishes, allowing us to highlight natural wood grain characteristics or create uniform appearances that complement the area's sandstone quarry heritage and natural landscape. All finishes are applied using professional-grade products designed for durability and environmental resistance appropriate for coastal climate conditions.

Three-dimensional visualization helps identify potential installation challenges early in the design process, allowing modifications to be made during planning rather than during construction. This approach reduces project costs and timeline while ensuring final results match client expectations and regulatory requirements.
