Keep what's good. Change what matters.
We are not trying to save every cabinet. We are trying to save the right cabinets. Most kitchens are mostly fine: maybe 80% works and 20% drives you crazy. We start there.
Keep the cabinetry, layout and parts that are worth keeping.
New doors and fronts, refinished boxes, added or replaced cabinets, drawers, trim and hardware, only where they make sense.
One finished kitchen. The goal is "that looks like a new kitchen," not "those cabinets were refaced."
A kitchen you love, with far less disruption than tearing everything out.
Four ways to update a kitchen, used only where they make sense
Most of our kitchens use more than one. We figure out the right mix with you.
Cabinet refacing
New factory finished wood doors and drawer fronts allow you to change door style and finish.

Accents and storage
Crown molding, decorative island panels, deep drawers and pull-outs and more make it work better.

We have solutions that fit any budget, from a simple color change to a complete custom update!
Good refacing should not look like someone covered old cabinets.
Most people picture refacing as the cheap stuff: vinyl stuck over tired old doors. That is not how we work. We replace the doors and fronts, then finish everything around them to match.
- Solid wood door and drawer fronts as our standard, made to order and finished at the factory.
- Your cabinet boxes and face frames painted or veneered in your home to match
- Crown molding, panels and trim that make builder-grade cabinets look custom
- Soft-close hinges, and solid wood dovetail drawer boxes as an upgrade
