Serving Austin and nearby communities.

Solid cabinet boxes with dated doors don't need to be torn out. Austin Custom Cabinets Pros handles cabinet refacing and refinishing: new door and drawer fronts, box veneer, and a fresh finish coat applied over a structurally sound box.

Rollingwood and Sunset Valley's older housing stock often fits this path well, since the original cabinet boxes are solid, just outdated. The deciding factor is box condition. If the boxes are square and intact, refacing gets you most of the visual change at a lower cost than a full rebuild.

FAQs

Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing FAQs

Can I reface my existing cabinets instead of replacing them entirely?

If the boxes are solid and square. We check box condition first before recommending refacing over a full rebuild.

How do I know if my cabinet boxes need replacing or just new doors/fronts?

Solid boxes with no water damage or sagging are good candidates for refacing. Swollen particleboard or structural damage usually means replacement is the better path.

How much cheaper is refacing than full replacement?

It varies by scope, but refacing typically costs less since the box structure and plumbing/electrical stay untouched.

Does refacing need a permit?

No. It's a cosmetic update to doors, veneer, and finish, not structural or utility work.

How long does refacing take compared to a full rebuild?

Refacing moves faster since there's no new box construction, just new fronts, veneer, and finish.
