Reface Your Cabinets

• Cabinet frames have 1/4" overhangs on the ends

• Drawer boxes have a vertical drawer piece behind the drawer front

• Fameless Cabinets
   

• Situations that make refacing not economical for customers

• You plan to replace the countertop

• The drawer fronts are integrated with the drawer box

• The ends of your cabinets are flush with no face frame overhang

• The corners of your cabinets frames are routed

• You want to replace or add cabinetry

• Water damage under the sink

• Cabinets are 20+ years old

WCW Refacing Process

1. WCW only provides new doors. WCW does not refinish doors.

2. All of the cabinet doors will need to be removed. This also includes all of the hinges and the hardware. The only element that will remain in your kitchen is the cabinet boxes. 

3. The front portion of all of the cabinet boxes are roll painted and the cabinet sides are skinned with 1/4" material. 

4. New doors and drawers boxes are then reinstalled. Most customers choose to update their hinges to soft close and for the ultimate transformation the drawer boxes are replaced.

5. Last but not least, new decorative hardware is put on the doors and drawers.

If you are looking to save a little on time and money, you may want to consider refacing your cabinets, instead of completely replacing your existing cabinetry. When refacing, there are a variety of door prices to fit your budget.  Please keep in mind that not all reface projects will be less expensive than receiving brand new cabinets. Consult with your WCW designer to evaluate your kitchen and see what works best for you.
