Cabinet Refacing vs. Cabinet Painting

Both preserve cabinet boxes, but the materials, appearance, scope, and cost structure are different.

What cabinet painting changes

Professional refinishing changes the color and surface finish of the existing doors, drawer fronts, and cabinet boxes. It preserves the existing door profile and visible construction.

What refacing changes

Refacing typically covers exposed cabinet boxes with veneer and installs new doors and drawer fronts. It can change the door style without replacing all cabinet boxes.

Key decision

Choose refinishing when you like the current door style and want a coating update. Consider refacing when the boxes are suitable to keep but the existing door style is not.
