Cabinet Refacing in Auburndale, FL
Cabinet Refacing in Auburndale, FL covers new doors, veneer boxes, and matched end panels, with free estimates and written scope.
Serving Auburndale and nearby communities.
Dated oak doors and swollen particleboard boxes are the two complaints we hear most. Cabinet refacing fixes both without tearing the room apart. The box stays. The face changes.
We inspect every box before quoting anything. If the structure is sound, refacing saves money over a full gut job and gets the kitchen back in use faster.

Materials
Materials and methods for Cabinet Refacing
Central Florida's humid subtropical climate is hard on cabinet surfaces. We pick materials built to resist edge lift and swelling, not just look good on day one.

Rigid Thermofoil
A durable foil finish wraps cabinet surfaces for a smooth, consistent appearance that resists the edge peeling common in humid kitchens.

Wood Veneer
Natural wood veneer offers an authentic grain look over existing cabinet boxes, a good fit for older homes with solid builder-grade carcasses.

Adhesive Bonding Agents
Professional-grade adhesives keep veneer and laminate bonded long-term, even with humidity swings.

Matching Drawer Fronts
New fronts are crafted to match replacement doors for a unified design across the whole kitchen.

Edge Banding
Edge banding finishes exposed panel edges for a clean look that resists moisture intrusion at the seams.

Cabinet Hardware Sets
Coordinated hardware sets complete the refaced cabinetry with a polished, finished look.

FAQs
Cabinet Refacing FAQs
What are the steps involved in cabinet refacing?
The process runs from box inspection to design selection, surface prep, veneer application, new door install, and a final quality check. Most kitchens move through these steps over a couple of visits.
Is cabinet refacing worth it or should I replace the cabinets?
If your boxes are structurally sound, refacing is almost always the better value. Replacement makes sense when boxes are water-damaged, warped, or particleboard has swollen beyond repair.
Can you reface cabinets that are particle board underneath?
As long as the particleboard hasn't swollen or delaminated. We check for soft spots and moisture damage before quoting any refacing work.
How much does cabinet refacing cost?
Most full kitchens run $6,000 to $14,000 depending on size and material choice. Smaller jobs like door-only swaps start lower.
How long does cabinet refacing take?
A typical kitchen takes a few days of on-site work, though door fabrication can add a week or two of lead time before installation starts.
