Serving Lakeland and nearby communities.
Kitchen cabinet refacing is the kitchen-specific application of refacing: new doors, drawer fronts, and matching veneer go over your existing upper and lower boxes, including pantry cabinets and island panels. It's built for kitchens where the cabinet boxes are structurally sound but the doors, finish, or hardware look dated or worn.
South Lakeland neighborhoods built out in the 1990s and 2000s still have a lot of original oak cabinet boxes in good shape, just wearing a finish that's past its prime. Lakeland Cabinet Refacing works around appliances, sinks, and dishwashers already in place, so the kitchen stays mostly usable while the work happens.

Materials
Materials and Methods for Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
Kitchen cabinets near sinks and dishwashers take more moisture exposure than cabinets anywhere else in the house, so material choice matters more here than in a bathroom or closet job.
Kitchen-Grade Laminate
Moisture-resistant laminate is selected for durability in busy kitchen environments near sinks and dishwashers.
Solid Wood Fronts
Solid wood door fronts add warmth and long-lasting durability to kitchens that see daily use.
Soft-Close Drawer Slides
Upgraded slides allow drawers to close quietly and smoothly every time, even with full pots and pans.
Decorative Molding
Molding accents add a finished, custom look to refaced kitchen cabinets.
Cabinet End Panels
Matching end panels conceal exposed cabinet sides for a cohesive appearance at the kitchen's edges.
Pull-Out Hardware
Pull-out trays and organizers improve kitchen storage functionality after refacing.

FAQs
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing FAQs
Do I need to move out of my kitchen during refacing?
No. Most homeowners keep using the kitchen for basic meals throughout the project, though countertops get cleared and the sink area may be off-limits for a day or two during install.
How long does a kitchen refacing job take from start to finish?
Typically 1-2 weeks from measure to finished install, most of that time spent on door fabrication rather than on-site work.
Can you match new doors to my existing cabinet boxes?
Yes. Doors and drawer fronts are built to match the box dimensions and finish tone so the kitchen reads as one cohesive update.
What happens to my old cabinet doors after refacing?
Old doors and hardware are removed and hauled off as part of the job unless you want to keep them.
Will refacing fix water damage under the sink cabinet?
Refacing covers the visible surfaces, but a box with soft or swollen wood from a leak needs repair or partial box replacement first. That gets flagged during the initial assessment.
Is kitchen cabinet refacing near me worth the cost compared to full replacement?
For kitchens with solid boxes, refacing runs well below full replacement cost and finishes faster since there's no demolition or new box installation involved.
