Cabinet Refacing in Ontario

Refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes and replaces everything you see: doors, drawer fronts, hinges and handles, with matching veneer or laminate applied to the frames and end panels. If the boxes are square, solidly anchored and laid out the way you want, this delivers a visibly new kitchen for well under the cost of replacement — and in days rather than weeks, since there is no demolition, no plumbing disconnection and no countertop removal required.

The honest scoping question is whether your cabinets deserve it. Refacing cannot cure sagging shelves, water-damaged particleboard boxes or a layout that never worked; in those cases replacement is the better spend. Where it shines is the structurally sound but dated kitchen — oak doors from the nineties on perfectly good boxes. Many Ontario homeowners pair refacing with a new countertop and backsplash, which together read as a complete renovation at a fraction of the disruption.
