If your cabinets are structurally sound but outdated, cabinet refacing is the most cost-effective way to give your cabinets a brand new look—without the mess, downtime, and heavy price tag of a full renovation. To reface means updating the exterior surfaces of your existing cabinets. We provide premium cabinet refacing services in Los Angeles tailored to homeowners who want a fresh, elevated look without replacing their entire cabinetry system. Cabinet refacing is a great option for homeowners seeking a significant update without the complications of a full renovation.
Whether you’re preparing to sell your home, refreshing an investment property, or finally upgrading your outdated kitchen, cabinet refacing delivers big visual impact at a fraction of the cost, allowing you to save money compared to a full replacement.
Cabinet refacing results in a refreshed kitchen and gives new life to your space.
What Is Cabinet Refacing?
Cabinet refacing is a specialized remodeling process that updates the visible parts of your existing cabinets. This process focuses on refacing your cabinets by upgrading the surfaces, doors, panels, and hardware, while leaving the cabinet boxes in place. Instead of tearing everything out, we transform the look of your kitchen by refreshing the exterior of your existing cabinets.
A standard cabinet refacing project will replace:
- Cabinet doors
- Drawer fronts
- Side panels (replaced or covered)
- High-quality veneer applied to cabinet frames
- Soft-close hinges
- Modern handles & hardware
- Optional upgrades like crown molding, lighting, and accessories
Only the visible surfaces are replaced, not the entire cabinet structure.
The result: a gorgeous new kitchen aesthetic without demolition, all achieved through a cabinet refacing project.
Why Homeowners Choose Cabinet Refacing?
Los Angeles homes often already have high-quality cabinet structures—especially older homes built with solid wood. Full replacement is expensive, unnecessary, and wasteful. Refacing allows homeowners to preserve what they already have while modernizing the style. The benefit of cabinet refacing is that it offers a cost-effective, convenient alternative to full replacement, while the benefits include improved aesthetics, affordability, and customization options. Cabinet refacing projects are popular because they save money and time, making them a smart choice for any remodeling project focused on value and efficiency.
Here’s why cabinet refacing is one of the most in-demand kitchen upgrades in LA:
1. Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement
Refacing costs 40–60% less than replacing your cabinets entirely. You get the same stunning visual transformation without paying for new cabinet boxes or major labor.
2. Faster Completion Time
While a full cabinet replacement can take weeks, most refacing projects in Los Angeles are completed in 3–5 days. That means less disruption to your home and your daily routine.
3. Eco-Friendly Remodeling
Refacing avoids sending good cabinet boxes to landfills. It’s a sustainable option that reduces waste and keeps your existing layout intact.
4. Unlimited Style Options
Choose from modern, traditional, shaker-style, flat-panel, high-gloss, or custom finishes. You can also pick from premium materials like:
- Solid wood
- Thermofoil
- Acrylic
- Veneer
- MDF shaker doors
You are not limited by your existing cabinet style—we can completely reimagine it.
5. Perfect for Rentals & House Flips
In LA’s competitive rental and real estate markets, appearance matters. Refacing provides the fastest and most affordable ROI for property managers, investors, and homeowners preparing to sell.
Cabinet Refacing vs Cabinet Refinishing vs Painting
Los Angeles homeowners often confuse these services, so here’s a simple breakdown:
Cabinet refacing (also known as cabinet resurfacing) involves replacing the doors, drawer fronts, and applying a new veneer to the exterior surfaces of your existing cabinets, while keeping the cabinet boxes intact. Cabinet resurfacing is a cost-effective and quick alternative to full cabinet replacement, offering a hassle-free kitchen or bathroom upgrade with durable materials. In contrast, cabinet refinishing means sanding down and applying a new stain or paint to the existing cabinet surfaces, while cabinet painting is simply applying a fresh coat of paint.
Ultimately, you should decide which option—refacing, refinishing, or cabinet painting—best fits your needs, preferences, and budget.
Cabinet Refacing
- Replaces doors and drawer fronts
- Applies new veneer to frames
- Includes new hardware
- Biggest visual transformation
- Higher cost than painting/refinishing, but still cheaper than replacement
Cabinet Refinishing
- Sanding and staining existing doors
- Keeps the same wood look
- Good when you want a darker or lighter stain
- Best for natural-wood cabinets
Cabinet Painting
- Uses durable cabinet-grade paint
- Budget-friendly option
- Doesn’t change the door style
- Good if your doors are already modern and in good condition
If your current doors are outdated or damaged, refacing is the best option.
