A big share of Brushy Creek's 1990s-2000s housing stock still has original oak boxes that are structurally fine, just dated. If the boxes themselves aren't warped or falling apart, replacing them entirely is usually more money than the problem requires.

Brushy Creek Custom Cabinets offers two distinct paths here: refacing, where new door and drawer fronts go on your existing boxes, and refinishing, where we strip and repaint or restain what's already there.

FAQs

Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing FAQs

What's the difference between cabinet refacing and full replacement?

Refacing keeps your existing boxes and updates the fronts and hardware. Full replacement rebuilds the boxes too. If your boxes are solid, refacing costs less and takes less time.

Should I paint or stain my cabinets for resale value?

Painted shaker-style fronts tend to show better on resale in most markets right now, but a well-done stain on solid wood also holds value, especially if it matches current flooring tones.

How long does refacing take compared to full replacement?

Refacing and refinishing run faster since the boxes stay in place. Most projects finish in a couple weeks versus the longer lead time a full rebuild requires.
