01

Cabinet Refacing Most complete refresh

New custom doors and drawer fronts go on, and the cabinet boxes get a matching veneer finish for one seamless look. Great for kitchens where the layout works and the frames are still sound.

02

Cabinet Redooring Door and drawer update

Swap out just the doors and drawer fronts for new custom ones. A budget-friendly option when the cabinet boxes and finish are fine, but the doors are worn, peeling, or simply out of style.

03

Cabinet Painting Color-led transformation

A new finish can change the whole personality of a kitchen. Ideal when the cabinet style still holds up but the color feels tired and you're after something brighter and more current.

New Cabinets When replacement makes sense

Some kitchens need more than a surface-level fix. When the boxes, layout, or overall condition call for it, new cabinets give you a truly clean slate.

Before you decide.

Can Drake Cabinet help me choose between refacing and new cabinets?

Absolutely. We'll look at your cabinet condition, your current layout, and the look you're going for, then help you land on the right level of work.

What's the real difference between refacing and redooring?

Redooring only replaces the doors and drawer fronts. Refacing does that plus applies matching veneer to the cabinet boxes themselves, so the whole kitchen — not just the doors — looks brand new.

When does it make more sense to go with new cabinets?

If the boxes are damaged, the layout isn't working anymore, or you're after a bigger design change, new cabinets are usually the better recommendation.
