Do your cabinet boxes still feel solid even if the doors look dated? That's exactly when refacing makes sense. Timberwood Park Custom Cabinets reuses structurally sound boxes and replaces doors, drawer fronts, and veneer, giving a full-replacement look without the full-replacement cost.
Many Timberwood Park kitchens from the 2010s building boom still have solid builder-grade boxes underneath dated door styles, which makes refacing a straightforward way to update the look without tearing the kitchen down to studs.

Materials
Materials and Methods for Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing
Veneer Sheets
A thin wood layer applied over existing box sides to refresh the look without replacing the box itself.
Replacement Cabinet Doors
New doors sized to your existing openings, which modernizes the look while keeping the structurally sound box.
Wood Fillers
Used to repair minor dings and gaps in the existing boxes before new veneer or finish goes on.
Stain Finishes
Applied to achieve a renewed wood tone, suited for boxes where the grain is still worth showing.
Hardware Upgrades
New pulls and hinges that complete the updated look at a fraction of full-replacement cost.
Protective Topcoat
A sealant that protects the refinished surface against the same humidity swings that affect full cabinet builds.

Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing FAQs
Can you reface cabinets instead of replacing them to save money?
If the existing boxes are structurally sound, refacing with new doors and veneer typically costs 40-60% less than a full replacement.
How much does cabinet refacing cost in Timberwood Park?
Most refacing projects run $2,000-$9,000 depending on door count and whether box veneer work is included.
How long does cabinet refacing take?
Refacing typically runs 1-3 weeks, faster than a full cabinet replacement since boxes don't need to be rebuilt.
What's a fair deposit amount before cabinet work starts?
Deposits commonly range from 30-50% of the project total, with the balance due at completion. We put exact terms in writing before work begins.
Does refacing work on all cabinet boxes?
It works well on boxes that are square, free of water damage, and structurally solid. Boxes with swelling or damage usually need full replacement instead.
Is DIY cabinet refacing a good idea?
Painting doors yourself is doable with the right prep, but veneer application and precise door-to-opening fitting are easier to get right with a pro.
