What's Included

What Refacing Actually Changes

Refacing works because your cabinet boxes — the part that's expensive to rebuild — usually aren't the problem. It's the doors, finish and hardware that look dated.

New doors & drawer fronts
Shaker, flat-panel or raised-panel styles in your choice of finish.
Veneer over existing boxes
Matching veneer applied to exposed cabinet sides and frames.
New hardware
Hinges, drawer slides and pulls replaced for a like-new feel.
Interior touch-ups
Shelf and drawer box repairs where needed, so function matches the new look.

FAQ

Cabinet Refacing Questions

Is refacing as durable as new cabinets?

Your cabinet boxes are usually structurally fine — refacing replaces the parts that wear out visually (doors, finish, hardware) while keeping the sound structure underneath.

Can I change my layout with refacing?

No — refacing keeps your existing footprint. If you want to move cabinets or change the layout, that's a full remodel.

How long does refacing take?

Most San Jose kitchens are done in 1–2 weeks, much of which is off-site fabrication — your kitchen stays usable for most of that time.

Do I need a permit for cabinet refacing?

No — refacing is cosmetic and doesn't require a City of San Jose permit.
