Plenty of Georgetown kitchens, especially in the historic core, have cabinet boxes that are still solid but doors and finish that have gone dated. Georgetown Custom Cabinets handles refacing and refinishing for exactly that situation: new door and drawer fronts, refreshed veneer on the boxes, and a new finish, without tearing the kitchen down to studs.
We assess the existing boxes first so you're not paying for full replacement when refacing gets the same visual result for less.

Materials
Materials and methods for Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing
Refacing depends on matching new surfaces to an existing box that's already weathered a few years of Central Texas humidity, so material choice matters as much as the finish color.
Veneer Sheets
Thin wood layers used to refresh existing cabinet surfaces without replacing the box.
Replacement Cabinet Doors
New doors designed to modernize the cabinet's appearance while reusing the original frame.
Wood Fillers
Material used to repair minor imperfections before refinishing.
Stain Finishes
Stains applied to achieve a renewed wood tone and texture.
Hardware Upgrades
Updated handles and knobs chosen to complete the new look.
Protective Topcoat
A sealant applied to protect the refinished surface from daily wear.

FAQs
Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing FAQs
Is refacing cheaper than full cabinet replacement?
Refacing typically costs 40-60% less than full replacement since the boxes stay in place.

Most refacing projects run 1-2 weeks from assessment to finished install, shorter than a full replacement.
Is refacing worth it instead of full replacement?
If your boxes are solid and the layout works, refacing gets you a refreshed look for less money and less disruption.
Do I need a permit for cabinet refacing?
Unless the project involves moving plumbing or electrical.
Can you match a new finish to my kitchen's current wood tone?
We assess the existing cabinet wood and match stain tone so new doors blend with any boxes that aren't replaced.
What condition do my cabinet boxes need to be in for refacing?
Boxes need to be structurally sound with no water damage or warping. We check this during the initial inspection.
