Sound boxes, tired doors? Refacing keeps the bones and replaces everything you see — a new kitchen in days, not weeks.
Refacing is the smart middle path: your existing cabinet boxes stay, and every visible surface — doors, drawer fronts, end panels, and veneer — gets replaced with new material in the style and finish you choose. Done well, the result is indistinguishable from new cabinets at a fraction of the cost and disruption. It’s the right call when the layout works, the boxes are solid, and what’s wrong with the kitchen is purely what it looks like.
In your choice of style — shaker, slab, raised panel — and finish, sized to your existing boxes.
Box exteriors, face frames, and exposed ends wrapped to match the new fronts exactly.
Soft-close hinges, full-extension glides, and the pulls and knobs that finish the room.
Loose joints, worn glides, and tired hinges repaired or replaced as part of the prep.
Molding, light rail, and toe-kick details that make the refaced run read as new construction.
Most refacing projects finish in under a week once materials arrive.
Refacing is a natural fit for a lot of Greenville. The growth-era homes through Five Forks, Greer, and Simpsonville were built with sturdy boxes wearing forgettable oak doors — perfect refacing candidates. It also sidesteps the surprises older homes hide: in a 1940s mill house, keeping boxes in place means not discovering what’s behind them. One honest caveat a local pro will check on the walkthrough: boxes have to be sound and square. If the originals have water damage or a layout that never worked, replacing beats refacing — and a good pro will say so.
All of the structure. You keep your boxes, your layout, and usually your counters if you want them — only the visible surfaces change.
Yes — going from honey oak to painted white or a deep green is one of the most common refacing moves in the Upstate.
Typically three to five days on site, with the kitchen mostly usable in the evenings.
