Redooring or refacing
Choose the right level of cabinet work.
Some kitchens only need new doors. Others need the visible cabinet surfaces updated too — a distinction that comes up often in Newbury, Byfield, Groveland, and Merrimac.
Choose Redooring
Doors and fronts
Best when the cabinet boxes and visible surfaces still work, but the doors and drawer fronts look dated.
Choose Refacing
Faces and surfaces
Best when the doors, drawer fronts, and exposed cabinet surfaces all need to match a new finish.
Good fit
Redooring works best when the boxes are solid.
This is a common scenario in established kitchens across Lynnfield, Wakefield, and Manchester-by-the-Sea, where the layout already works well.
Doors are the issue
The cabinet doors look worn, dated, peeling, or damaged.
Drawer fronts match
Replacing fronts helps the full cabinet face feel clean.
Layout still works
The kitchen footprint already fits daily use.
Boxes can stay
The cabinet structure does not need a full replacement.

Quick answers
Before you choose.
These answers belong to the Cabinet Redooring page. Drake Cabinet evaluates the existing cabinet condition before recommending whether a focused front replacement is appropriate.
What is cabinet redooring?
Cabinet redooring replaces the cabinet doors and typically the drawer fronts while suitable cabinet boxes remain in place. It is a focused option when the existing cabinet structure and layout still work but the visible fronts are dated, damaged, or no longer match the homeowner’s preferred style.
Is redooring the same as refacing?
No. Cabinet redooring focuses on replacing doors and drawer fronts, while cabinet refacing also coordinates the visible cabinet exterior surfaces around those new fronts. The Services comparison page explains which option fits different cabinet conditions and visual goals.
Does cabinet redooring include drawer fronts?
Cabinet redooring can include new drawer fronts along with the new cabinet doors so the visible cabinet face follows one coordinated style. The exact scope depends on the condition and configuration of the existing drawers, doors, cabinet openings, and hardware.
What areas does Drake Cabinet serve?
We work throughout Essex County and the Merrimack Valley in Massachusetts, plus nearby New Hampshire seacoast towns within our normal drive time such as Portsmouth, Greenland, Stratham, Rye, Seabrook, New Castle, and North Hampton.
How do I start a cabinet redooring project?
Start by sending kitchen photos or requesting a free estimate so Drake Cabinet can review the doors, drawer fronts, cabinet boxes, and current layout. That first review helps determine whether redooring is appropriate or whether refacing, new cabinetry, or another current service path makes more sense.
Ready to replace the doors, not the whole kitchen?
Send a few kitchen photos or call Drake Cabinet to see whether redooring or refacing is the better fit — anywhere from Salisbury to Melrose.
