Your cabinet boxes are solid. They just look like 1998. Let’s fix that, without ripping out the kitchen.
Walk down any block in Deer Park and half the houses have the same story inside: good, sturdy cabinets in a color nobody picked on purpose. Honey oak. Orange-y cherry. White thermofoil that’s started peeling by the dishwasher.
If the boxes are in good shape and the layout works for you, you probably don’t need new cabinets. Cabinet refinishing gives them a completely new color and finish. Cabinet refacing goes further: new doors, new drawer fronts, new veneer on the frames, new hardware.
Either way, your counters, sink and plumbing stay put, and the room looks like a different kitchen.
This is the part people care about. Drag the handle across. Same room, same footprint, same windows. Different kitchen.
Cherry to white, with a new sage island and butcher-block top.
What didn’t change: the footprint, the windows, the floor. That’s the whole idea.
Cleaned, sanded, primed and refinished in a durable cabinet-grade coating.
New doors, drawer fronts and matching veneer on the cabinet frames.
White, greige, navy, sage, two-tone. See real samples in the showroom.
Smooth painted, satin or stained looks, in a finish that suits the house.
Shaker, slab, raised panel and glass-front uppers.
Pulls, knobs and soft-close hinges: the details you touch every day.
Add crown, light rail, a new end panel or glass doors to tie it all together.
The question we get every week. Here’s the honest breakdown.
| REFINISH | REFACE | REPLACE | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What changes | Color and finish on your existing doors and boxes | New doors, drawer fronts, veneer and hardware | Everything. All-new cabinets. |
| What stays | Doors, boxes, counters, layout | Boxes, counters, layout | Nothing you don't want to keep |
| Best for | Solid wood cabinets you like the shape of | Solid boxes with dated or damaged doors | Layout changes, failing boxes, more storage |
| Disruption | Lightest | Light | A full kitchen project |
| Relative cost | $ | $$ | $$$ |
Still not sure? Bring a door, or a photo of one, to the showroom and we’ll tell you honestly.
Hold the door samples up to your countertop photo. Compare whites side by side under real light. See the hardware before it goes on.
What Long Island homeowners want to know before giving their cabinets a second life.
Refinishing keeps your existing doors and gives everything a new color and finish. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts and covers the frames with matching veneer, so you get a new door style too, not just a new color.
Most solid-wood and plywood cabinets can. If the boxes are water-damaged, sagging or falling apart (usually under the sink), we’ll tell you, and we can replace just those pieces or talk about new cabinets.
Oak has a deep grain that can show through paint. We can fill it for a smoother look, or leave a little texture if you like it. We’ll show you both on samples first.
Much less time than a full remodel, and your kitchen stays mostly usable. Doors and drawer fronts are usually finished off-site, so the work in your house is shorter. You’ll get a schedule with your estimate.
We use cabinet-grade coatings built for kitchens, not wall paint, and proper prep is most of the job. With normal care they hold up well. Like anything in a kitchen, they’re not indestructible.
In most cases, yes. That’s one of the biggest advantages: counters, sink and backsplash can usually stay. If you want new counters too, we do that as well.
Generally, yes, often by a meaningful amount, because you’re not paying to tear out and replace the boxes. The exact difference depends on the size of the kitchen and the door style you pick.
