Not every kitchen needs a full tear-out. If your cabinet boxes are still solid but the doors and finish feel dated, Hutto Custom Cabinets can reface or refinish instead of replace, which usually costs less and takes less time than a full rebuild.

Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing FAQs
Is it cheaper to reface cabinets or replace them entirely?
Refacing is usually cheaper than full replacement when your existing boxes are structurally sound. You're paying for new doors, veneer, and finish instead of entirely new cabinetry.
How long does cabinet refacing take?
Refacing typically takes less time than full replacement since the boxes stay in place. Most projects run a few weeks from material selection to finished install.
Do I need a permit for cabinet refacing?
No, . Refacing doesn't touch plumbing or electrical unless you're adding new wiring for lighting.
Is DIY cabinet refacing a good idea?
Peel-and-stick kits can work for a simple budget refresh. Professionally fitted veneer and doors hold up better long-term and look more consistent across the kitchen.
When should I call a pro instead of replacing cabinets?
Call when your cabinet boxes are solid but the doors or finish look dated. If boxes are warped or water-damaged, full replacement is usually the better call.
What affects refacing pricing the most?
Door count, finish choice, hardware, and the condition of your existing boxes.
What's typically included in a refacing project?
New doors or veneer, a new finish coat, and hardware upgrades on your existing cabinet boxes.
