Project Overview
This project in Huntington, NY was a perfect example of how refacing can completely transform a kitchen without the cost of a full remodel.
The homeowners loved their existing layout but were tired of the yellowed doors, worn-out finishes, and outdated hardware. They wanted a brighter, more modern look — without tearing everything apart.
The goal was simple: give the space a “new kitchen” feeling in under two weeks, while keeping their granite countertops and backsplash untouched.
What We Did
We began with a detailed inspection to confirm the existing cabinet frames were in excellent structural condition — ideal for refacing.
Here’s what we replaced and upgraded:
- New shaker-style cabinet doors and drawer fronts in Arctic White finish with a durable satin top coat.
- Matching end panels and toe-kicks to achieve a seamless factory look.
- New concealed soft-close hinges and matte black handles for a modern aesthetic.
- Crown molding added above the wall cabinets for a high-end finish.
- Open shelving near the window area for décor and daily use.
- LED under-cabinet lighting installed for warmth and visibility.
During the process, we also repaired two base cabinet sides that had water damage and adjusted all drawers for perfect alignment.
Results
The transformation was dramatic — the kitchen went from dated oak to a clean, modern, and timeless design.
The homeowners couldn’t believe it wasn’t a full replacement — the color change alone made the room look twice as bright.
Here’s what they told us:
“Everyone who walks in thinks we replaced the entire kitchen. It feels brand new.”
