Cabinet Refacing in Connecticut
Connecticut Cabinet Refacing
If your kitchen layout works and your cabinet boxes are sturdy, cabinet refacing is the smart way to refresh your space—without the cost, mess, or delays of a full remodel. West Hartford Finishing replaces doors and drawer fronts, applies matching real-wood veneer to existing boxes, installs soft-close hinges & modern hardware, and finishes everything with a factory-smooth sprayed coating. Most projects finish in 3–5 days, with typical savings of 30–50% compared to full replacement.
Why homeowners across Connecticut choose refacing
- Big visual impact, smaller budget: New doors and finishes deliver a “brand-new kitchen” look.
- Cleaner & faster: Minimal demo, less dust, and a predictable timeline.
- Sustainable choice: Keep sturdy boxes; send far less to the landfill.
- Made to fit your style: Shaker, slab, or raised-panel doors; satin, matte, or gloss finishes; modern hardware.
Our cabinet refacing process
- Design & estimate: We confirm door style, finish, hardware, and timelines.
- Prep & removal: Doors/drawers are removed, labeled, and taken to our finishing setup.
- Box updates: We apply matching veneer to visible cabinet faces and panels.
- Finishing: Doors/drawers receive a durable sprayed finish for a factory look.
- Reinstall & upgrades: New soft-close hinges, updated pulls/knobs, and final adjustments.
Refinishing vs. Refacing vs. Replacement—what’s right?
- Refinishing keeps your existing doors and changes the color/finish—best when you like your door style.
- Refacing upgrades to brand-new doors and a new exterior look—ideal when you want a true style change without replacing boxes.
- Replacement is for re-layouts or damaged boxes. We’ll give honest guidance on which path fits your goals and budget.
