If the kitchen layout works but the cabinet appearance no longer suits your home, refacing may be worth comparing with replacement. AstraNova offers cabinet refacing for DFW homeowners, beginning with the condition of the existing boxes and the changes you want to make.

What Refacing Changes
Refacing updates the visible cabinet fronts and surfaces while retaining cabinet boxes that are suitable for the planned work. Door style, drawer fronts, exposed surfaces, and hardware are considered together. The proposal identifies the specific parts and finishes included in your project.
Check the Cabinets Before Choosing the Finish
Condition of the Boxes
Existing cabinets need assessment before a cosmetic change is recommended. Damage, alignment, and the condition of the underlying material can affect whether retaining the boxes is practical.
Storage and Layout
Refacing does not automatically solve an inconvenient layout or missing storage. Tell us how you use the kitchen. If the cabinet configuration needs a larger change, replacement or a full remodel may be a more useful comparison.
Doors, Surfaces, and Hardware
Compare the visible changes as a coordinated selection rather than choosing each part in isolation. Material responsibilities and the agreed finish are recorded in the proposal and agreement.
Refacing, Painting, or Replacement
Refacing changes the visible fronts and surfaces. Painting or refinishing focuses on the finish of suitable existing components. Replacement changes the cabinet system and can support a different configuration. These are distinct scopes; the right choice depends on the existing kitchen and your goals.

Coordinate the Rest of the Kitchen
Cabinet work can affect nearby countertop, backsplash, lighting, and appliance decisions. If you are considering those updates, discuss them before the cabinet scope is finalized so the project sequence accounts for the full plan.
Cabinet Refacing Questions
Is refacing suitable for damaged cabinet boxes?
The condition of the boxes must be assessed first. Refacing should not be assumed to correct structural damage or a layout that no longer meets your needs. We can compare replacement when retaining the existing boxes is not appropriate.
Will refacing change my kitchen layout?
The core approach retains suitable cabinet boxes. Significant layout changes need a different scope and should be discussed as part of a broader kitchen plan.
How is the schedule determined?
The schedule depends on the agreed work, selected parts, material availability, and existing conditions. We discuss your project sequence after assessment rather than borrowing a standard installation time from another company.
How do I get an estimate?
Request a free in-home consultation. We review the cabinets, discuss the appearance and function you want, and prepare a no-obligation estimate for the defined scope.
