Replacing cabinets isn't always necessary. If the boxes are solid but the doors and finish look dated, refacing and refinishing gets you most of the visual change at a fraction of the cost. Manor Custom Cabinets inspects the existing boxes first to confirm refacing is actually the right call before quoting anything.
This option comes up most in existing homes rather than new builds, where the original cabinet boxes have held up fine but the doors, hardware, and finish are showing their age.

FAQs
Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing FAQs
Can I reface my existing cabinets instead of replacing them?
If the boxes are structurally sound, yes. Refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and sometimes veneer while keeping the original box, at roughly half the cost of full replacement.
Should I get cabinets painted or stained for resale value?
Painted finishes tend to photograph better for resale and suit more buyer tastes. Stain highlights wood grain and suits homeowners planning to stay long-term. We can walk through both with you.
How much does cabinet refacing cost in Manor?
Door and hardware swaps run $2,500-$5,000, while full refacing with veneer runs $5,000-$9,000 depending on kitchen size.
How long does refacing take compared to full replacement?
Refacing usually finishes in 2-4 weeks total versus 6-10 weeks for a full cabinet replacement.
