What Is Cabinet Refacing?
Cabinet refacing is a smart way to upgrade your kitchen without tearing everything out.
Instead of replacing the entire cabinet system, we keep your existing cabinet bases and update everything visible.
During the process we replace:
We also refinish your cabinet bases so they perfectly match your new doors and drawers.
The result is a kitchen that looks completely new without the cost and disruption of full cabinet replacement.
• Cabinet doors
• Drawer fronts
• Drawer boxes (when needed)
• Hinges and hardware
Cabinet Refacing: A Smarter Way to Upgrade Your Kitchen
If you love your kitchen’s layout but want a fresh, modern look, cabinet refacing is the perfect solution. At Barnett Cabinet Painting and Refacing, we transform your space without the mess, stress, or high cost of a full demolition.
If your current cabinet boxes are still structurally solid, we keep them intact. By replacing just the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, we give you a brand-new kitchen feel at a fraction of the cost.
Our Process
We’ve streamlined our workflow to minimize disruption, completing most projects in just 7 to 10 days:
Prep & Style Selection: We leave your cabinet boxes in place and remove the old fronts. You choose your new style, from timeless Shaker to sleek slab panels.
Flawless Prep & Painting: We clean and sand the frames, then spray-apply a premium primer and multiple light coats of specialized paint for a smooth, factory-like finish.
Off-Site Finishing: To keep dust and fumes out of your home, we spray and finish your new doors and drawer fronts in our controlled workshop.
Hardware & Upgrades: We install your new fronts with soft-close hinges, precisely adjusting everything for a perfect fit. We can also upgrade your drawers with soft-close slides or brand-new drawer boxes.

Our Detailed Cabinet Refacing Process (7–10 Days)
Unlike simple door swaps or DIY upgrades, our process is comprehensive and precision-driven.
Is Cabinet Refacing Right for You?
Cabinet refacing works best when your cabinet frames are still in good condition.
This option is ideal if:
✔ Your cabinet boxes are structurally sound
✔ You want a modern kitchen upgrade
✔ You want soft-close functionality
✔ You prefer a faster project timeline
✔ You want long-lasting results
If your cabinet layout needs to change or your cabinet frames are damaged, full replacement may be a better option.
