Assessment & Preparation

Thorough evaluation of your existing cabinet boxes for structural integrity, water damage, and wear. We identify which components can be refaced and which need repair or replacement. Doors and drawer fronts are removed, surfaces cleaned and sanded, and the workspace protected with drop cloths and plastic sheeting to keep your McKinney home clean throughout the project.

Door & Drawer Front Replacement

Old doors and drawer fronts replaced with new custom-built components in your selected style and material—solid wood, thermofoil, or laminate. Cabinet box exteriors covered with matching veneer or rigid thermofoil for a seamless appearance. New doors precisely aligned with adjustable hinges for consistent gaps and smooth operation throughout your kitchen or bathroom.

Hardware & Accessory Upgrades

Existing hinges and slides replaced with soft-close Blum hardware. New handles, knobs, and pulls installed in your selected finish—brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, matte black, or polished chrome. Optional upgrades include pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, drawer organizers, and under-cabinet LED lighting. Final adjustments, touch-up finishes, and a thorough cleanup complete the transformation.

What Is Cabinet Refacing?

Refacing replaces all visible surfaces—doors, drawer fronts, and exterior panels—while keeping the existing cabinet boxes. New components are custom-built to match your specifications in style, material, and finish. Cabinet box exteriors are covered with matching veneer or rigid thermofoil. The result looks like brand-new cabinets at roughly half the cost of full replacement, with less waste and faster completion.

Option B

What Is Cabinet Refinishing?

Refinishing keeps your existing doors and drawer fronts but completely transforms their appearance. Surfaces are stripped, sanded, and prepared, then finished with new stain, paint, or glaze in your selected color. This option works best when your cabinet doors are in good structural condition but the finish is worn, outdated, or damaged. It’s the most budget-friendly path to a refreshed kitchen.

The Decision

Which Option Is Right for You?

Choose refacing when you want a completely new style or material—switching from raised panel oak to modern shaker, for example. Choose refinishing when you like the door style but want a new color or finish. Many McKinney homeowners with 1990s and 2000s honey-oak cabinets find that refacing delivers the biggest visual impact. We assess your cabinet condition and help you weigh cost, timeline, and design goals.

How much does cabinet refacing cost in McKinney, TX?

Cabinet refacing in McKinney typically costs $4,000 to $9,000 for an average kitchen, depending on the number of cabinets, material selection, and hardware upgrades. This represents roughly 40 to 60 percent savings compared to full cabinet replacement. Courthouse Cabinet Works provides free on-site assessments with itemized quotes so you know exactly what your project will cost before any work begins.

How long does cabinet refacing or refinishing take?

Most cabinet refacing projects in McKinney are completed in three to five days. Refinishing projects that involve stripping, sanding, and multiple coats of stain or paint may take four to six days due to drying time between coats. Your kitchen remains partially accessible during the project, and we schedule work to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Is refaced cabinet finish durable?

Yes. Modern refacing materials are extremely durable. Rigid thermofoil and high-pressure laminate surfaces resist scratches, moisture, and daily wear. We use catalyzed conversion varnish finishes that provide a hard, protective coating superior to standard lacquer. With proper care, refaced cabinets maintain their appearance for 15 to 20 years. All finishes are selected to withstand Texas heat and humidity without yellowing or peeling.

What’s the difference between cabinet refacing and refinishing?

Refacing replaces the visible components—doors, drawer fronts, and exterior panels—with entirely new materials, allowing you to change the style and material completely. Refinishing keeps your existing doors and drawer fronts but strips and reapplies a new stain, paint, or glaze. Refacing offers more dramatic transformation and material changes, while refinishing is the more budget-friendly option when the existing door style is sound but the finish needs updating.

Is cabinet refacing worth it?

For most McKinney homeowners with structurally sound cabinet boxes, refacing delivers excellent value. You get a completely updated kitchen appearance at roughly half the cost of replacement, with less construction mess and a faster timeline. The National Association of Realtors reports that kitchen updates including cabinet refacing recoup 70 to 80 percent of their cost at resale. It’s also the environmentally responsible choice, keeping tons of material out of landfills. Our refacing team in McKinney will give you an honest assessment—if your boxes aren’t structurally sound, we’ll tell you that replacement is the better investment.
