Cabinet refacing is a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to upgrade the look and feel of your cabinetry. It requires less time to update the cabinet doors and drawer fronts than to replace them entirely (or to undergo a full kitchen renovation). Plus, it’s not always possible to repaint old, drab, and possibly damaged cabinets.
With a refacing project, your contractor keeps the original cabinet boxes. They replace the doors and hardware, giving your kitchen or bathroom a brand-new look. No time-consuming demolition is required, which means less disruption to your daily life (and less impact on your wallet). Consequently, cabinet refacing is ideal for homeowners desperate to change their kitchen design but lacking the time or budget for a complete overhaul.
What is the cabinet refacing process?
Cabinet refacing involves removing all existing doors, drawer fronts and hinges from your existing cabinets. Then, your Vancouver contractor preps the cabinet frames and exposed surfaces (this usually involves sanding and applying new laminate or paint). This ensures that the frame matches the new doors. For example, a cabinet refacing company installs a matching veneer for all visible exteriors, like frames and side panels.
Next, your contractor installs the new doors, drawer fronts, hinges, and hardware. Cabinet refacing only requires a few days, so you quickly have a space that looks brand new. New cabinet faces dramatically transform the look and feel of your kitchen or bathroom- at a fraction of the cost!
You can further customize the final look and functionality with additional upgrades, like crown moulding, valances, improved storage options, and other decor accessories. This is a great time to update your kitchen’s backsplash, sinks, and lighting.
Many cabinet refacing contractors also offer design services to guide you to a style and colour that suits your taste. And, of course, one that looks great in your new kitchen!
Finding the right Toronto cabinet refacing contractor for you
Before hiring a contractor to work in your home, you need to do your research. Ask for credentials, get estimates, check references, and compare with other companies first. As a result, your project will go smoother. Don’t forget to review the contractor before signing so you know exactly what you’re getting (and what you’re not). You don’t want any surprises along the way!

We highly recommend Silver Touch Cabinets. Sia and Amir were a pleasure to work with, as was Keyvan who looked after the general contract work. We hired Silver Touch for a kitchen reno, including new cabinets , countertops, flooring, drywalling, plumbing and electric. Ours is an older house, so there was a fair amount of custom work for the cabinetry and countertop. Sia and Amir had a lot of creative suggestions and also were excellent listeners. Keyvan too was a good communicator and an excellent troubleshooter whenever an unforseen problem occured. He also kept us up to date on schedule and work progress. Our project came in on price and on time.

FIVE STARS and then some!!! Our experience with Kitra has been nothing short of Amazing. Truly. We hired Kitra to correct a botched cabinet repainting job. The cabinetry and gables were bubbling, pealing etc. A total mess. Anthony and his team of meticulous artisans were able to sand, patch and refinish our kitchen gables and finish our new cabinet doors to a level that we did not think possible. Total, complete, perfection. Further, Kitra provided the most detailed, organized and customer focused project management we have encountered in the home renovation industry thus far. He runs a tight ship that focuses on exceptional quality and customer satisfaction. So very rare today. Kitra is a true diamond. We cannot recommend them enough.

We recently used Kitchen Canvass to redesign and remodel our kitchen. Their designers really listened to what we wanted to change in order to make the kitchen much more functional. The design they came up with exceeded our expectations. Their communication throughout the whole process was exceptional. The project manager Jacobus did an outstanding job. The quality of the work was excellent. The renovation came in on time and on budget. Now that we have been living with the results for a few months the design really has met out needs and the kitchen is now the hub of the house as we had intended.
