Auburndale Cabinet Refacing
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing in Auburndale, FL
Kitchen cabinet refacing in Auburndale, FL. New doors, boxes, and finishes around your existing layout. Free estimates.
Serving Auburndale and nearby communities.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing covers the whole room: upper and lower cabinets, boxes, end panels, and crown detail, all built around your existing layout instead of a gut remodel. Auburndale Cabinet Refacing scopes this as a full-kitchen job because color matching across dozens of doors and panels takes more coordination than a single piece.
Most Auburndale kitchens we see fall into two camps: original builder-grade boxes from older construction that are structurally fine but visually dated, or newer thermofoil fronts starting to show edge wear from kitchen humidity. Either way, the boxes usually stay. We reface around appliances, plumbing, and existing cabinet runs rather than tearing them out.
What's included
What's included with Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
Typically included: new door and drawer fronts for every cabinet in the kitchen, matching veneer on exposed box surfaces and end panels, new hinges and hardware, and a final color match across the full run.
Optional: soft-close hinge and slide upgrades, crown molding to finish the cabinet tops, and pull-out organizers added during the door swap.
Customer prep: clear countertops and cabinet interiors before our crew arrives, and plan an alternate meal setup for the install days.

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing FAQs
How much does kitchen cabinet refacing cost in Auburndale?
Most full kitchens run $4,500 to $12,000 depending on cabinet count, door style, and material grade. We'll give you a firm number after measuring in person.
Will the new doors match my existing cabinet boxes?
That's the core of the job. We reveneer boxes and end panels in the same material run as the new doors so color and sheen match across the whole kitchen.
Can refacing change my kitchen layout?
Door and box refacing keeps your current layout. If you want to move cabinets, add an island, or shift plumbing, that's a separate scope and may need a permit.
How long will my kitchen be unusable?
Most kitchens are still functional during prep, with 2-3 days of real disruption during the door and hardware install.
Is kitchen cabinet refacing cheaper than replacement?
Generally yes, since you're keeping the boxes instead of buying and installing new cabinetry throughout the kitchen.
Can you add soft-close hinges during a kitchen refacing job?
Soft-close hinges and drawer slides are a common add-on we install at the same time as the door swap.
