Our Cabinet Refacing & Refinishing Services
We provide tailored solutions that update your cabinetry’s appearance and functionality with precision. Our work includes detailed customization for various spaces, improving both style and durability through advanced materials and skilled workmanship.
Custom Refacing for Kitchens and Bathrooms
Our custom refacing services focus on transforming your existing kitchen and bathroom cabinets without the need for full replacement. We replace visible surfaces like doors, drawer fronts, and veneers while preserving the cabinet framework. This saves time and reduces waste compared to installing new cabinetry.
We offer a wide selection of materials and finishes, including wood veneers, laminates, and thermofoil that match diverse design preferences. Our team works closely with you to select colors and styles that complement your overall interior. This approach maintains your kitchen or bathroom’s layout while delivering a fresh, modern look.
Durability is a priority. We use high-quality adhesives and finishes that withstand moisture and daily wear. Refacing typically extends cabinet life by up to 20 years under normal use, ensuring long-lasting improvements.
Refinishing Options and Techniques
Refinishing involves restoring or changing the existing finish on your cabinets’ surfaces, a cost-effective way to refresh your cabinetry’s look. We employ multiple finishing techniques, including staining, painting, glazing, and clear coating, to enhance or alter your cabinets’ color and protect their surfaces.
We begin with thorough surface preparation, such as sanding and cleaning, to remove old finishes and imperfections. Our professional-grade finishes are selected for durability and resistance to heat, moisture, and scratches.
Our refinishing services allow for great flexibility, whether you want to restore a natural wood finish or apply a completely new color. We also offer protective topcoats that extend the life of the finish and simplify maintenance. This service is ideal for clients wanting a transformation without the cost of replacing cabinetry.
Benefits of Refacing & Refinishing Cabinets
Refacing and refinishing cabinets provide practical ways to update your kitchen or workspace without the need for full cabinet replacement. These methods allow us to preserve the cabinet structure while improving appearance, durability, and functionality efficiently.
Cost-Effectiveness Compared to Replacement
We save you significant money by focusing on the existing cabinet framework rather than installing entirely new units. Refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, which costs far less than demolition and new cabinetry. Refinishing, which involves sanding and applying new finishes, is even more affordable for freshening up your cabinets without structural changes.
This approach reduces labor, materials, and disposal expenses. You get a custom look from quality materials without the high prices associated with new cabinetry. For businesses or homeowners, this cost-efficiency makes refacing and refinishing a smart investment.
Quality and Durability of Materials
We use top-grade veneers, stains, paints, and hardware to ensure lasting results. Our refinishing process involves careful surface preparation to maintain or improve cabinet strength and appearance. When refacing, the new doors and drawer fronts are made from durable materials designed to withstand daily use.
Our commitment to high-quality products means your cabinets won’t just look better—they’ll perform better for years. The finishes we apply resist scratches, moisture, and fading, critical in kitchens and commercial environments.
Minimal Disruption to Your Home or Business
Because we keep the cabinet boxes intact, the refacing and refinishing processes are faster and less intrusive than full renovations. Your kitchen or workspace remains functional during the update, helping avoid long shutdowns.
We plan our work to minimize mess and disturbance, often completing projects in a few days. This efficiency supports business continuity and reduces inconvenience for homeowners, allowing you to return to normal use quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cabinet Refacing & Refinishing
How much does cabinet refacing cost?
Cabinet refacing typically costs $150 to $400 per linear foot, significantly less than full cabinet replacement which ranges $500 to $1,200 per linear foot. Burbank Custom Cabinets pricing depends on door material selection such as solid wood, wood veneer, or thermofoil, hardware upgrades like soft-close hinges from Blum, and additional features like crown molding or pull-out drawers. The cost includes new door and drawer fronts, veneer application to visible cabinet frames, and professional installation with cleanup.
What's the difference between cabinet refacing and replacing?
Cabinet refacing keeps existing cabinet boxes while replacing doors, drawer fronts, and applying wood veneer or laminate to visible frame surfaces, costing 50-70% less than replacement. Full cabinet replacement removes everything and installs completely new cabinets with updated layouts, requiring more time, demolition, and often plumbing or electrical modifications. Refacing works when cabinet boxes are structurally sound but you want updated style.
How long does cabinet refacing take?
Cabinet refacing typically takes 3 to 5 days for most kitchens, much faster than the 2 to 3 weeks required for full cabinet replacement. The process includes measuring and templating on day one, followed by door and veneer installation over the remaining days. Timeline depends on kitchen size, complexity of molding details, and whether additional features like new drawers or crown molding are included. Your kitchen remains functional throughout most of the process.
Can you reface cabinets without replacing doors?
Refacing specifically involves replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts as the primary component of the service, so keeping existing doors wouldn't constitute true refacing. However, Burbank Custom Cabinets offers cabinet refinishing services that restore existing doors through sanding, staining, and applying new protective finishes like catalyzed conversion varnish. We can also repair damaged doors, replace hardware with soft-close hinges, and refresh the overall appearance while maintaining your current door style and wood species.
Is cabinet refacing worth the cost?
Cabinet refacing provides excellent value when cabinet boxes are structurally sound but doors and finishes appear dated or damaged. You achieve 80% of a new kitchen's visual impact at 30-50% of replacement cost, typically recouping 75-85% of investment in home value. Refacing works best for style updates, color changes, or modernizing hardware without altering layout. It's not worthwhile if you need layout changes, have severely damaged cabinet boxes, or want to relocate plumbing and electrical components that require full replacement.
