Cabinet Refacing in Markham: what to expect

In and around Markham, housing runs from wartime and mid-century stock to new subdivisions and towers, so the same renovation can be scoped quite differently depending on the age and type of the home.

It's worth keeping the local housing in mind here โ€” Unionville and Markham Village are designated heritage conservation districts where exterior renovations need heritage approval.

About Markham homes

Markham pairs some of the GTA's best-preserved heritage streetscapes โ€” Unionville's Main Street and Markham Village โ€” with successive rings of suburban growth from the 1970s through the new urbanist streets of Cornell and the towers of Markham Centre. That range means renovation work runs from sensitive updates inside century homes to reworking 1980s and 1990s two-storeys whose layouts no longer match how families live.

Multigenerational households are common here, and projects reflect it: in-law suites, secondary units, and main-floor bedrooms with accessible bathrooms. Condo owners in Markham Centre plan around board approvals and building rules. Whichever kind of home you have, describe the renovation you're weighing and we'll connect you with a free, no-obligation quote.

  • Unionville and Markham Village are designated heritage conservation districts where exterior renovations need heritage approval.
  • Large tracts of 1980s and 1990s housing are reaching the age for full kitchen, bathroom and basement renovations.
  • Secondary suites are permitted in Markham subject to zoning and Ontario Building Code requirements.

What affects your Markham cabinet refacing cost

A cabinet refacing quote in Markham comes down to the specifics of your project. The main things that move it:

  • Number of doors and drawer fronts in the kitchen
  • Door material โ€” thermofoil, painted MDF or solid wood fronts
  • Condition of the existing boxes and how much prep the surfaces need
  • Hardware upgrades such as soft-close hinges and new drawer boxes
  • Add-ons like a countertop or backsplash done within the same project
  • Site logistics at your Markham address โ€” parking, permits for bins, and condo or townhouse rules all shape how the crew works and how long stages take.

Common questions

Do you actually take projects in my part of Markham?
Requests come in from right across Markham, not just the busiest neighbourhoods. Put your postal code in the quote form and we'll confirm coverage right away.
How fast can I get a quote in Markham?
Most Markham requests get a response the same day. The more detail you give โ€” measurements, photos, what you want to change โ€” the more accurate the first quote is.
My Markham project isn't huge. Will anyone take it?
That's exactly what the quote form is for. Describe the project at whatever size it really is, and you'll get an honest price for that โ€” not pressure to grow it.
How long does cabinet refacing take?
Once doors are manufactured, the on-site work usually takes two to five days for an average kitchen: a day of prep and veneer, then hanging, aligning and hardware. Manufacturing lead time before that commonly runs two to four weeks depending on the door style. The kitchen stays usable throughout โ€” the sink, stove and counters remain connected, which is a large part of refacing's appeal.
How do I know if my cabinets are good candidates for refacing?
Open the doors and check the boxes. If they are plywood or solid particleboard with no water swelling, shelves sit flat, and cabinets are firmly attached to the wall, refacing will hold well. Test the layout question separately: refacing locks in the current arrangement. If you find soft spots under the sink, delaminating panels or racked frames, put the money toward replacement instead.
