Is your kitchen cabinet box still solid, just dated on the surface? That's the question that decides whether you need a full replacement or a refacing job. Older German-heritage Boerne homes are often prime candidates: the boxes were built to last, but the doors and finish are decades behind.

Boerne Custom Cabinets assesses the existing boxes first. If they're sound, refacing gets you a new look for less money and less downtime than a full tear-out.

Simple hardware swaps are a reasonable weekend projectAssessing whether a box is actually sound enough to reface takes experience, and getting it wrong means redoing work later

FAQs

Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing FAQs

Can I just reface my existing cabinets instead of replacing them?

If the boxes are structurally sound, yes. We check for warping, water damage, and loose joints before recommending refacing over replacement.

How does refacing cost compare to full replacement?

Refacing typically runs well under full replacement cost since the box itself stays in place. Exact numbers depend on kitchen size and finish choice.
