Breathe New Life into Your Kitchen with Custom Cabinet Refacing

Your kitchen should feel like somewhere you actually want to hang out. Not just a place you rush through on the way to work. If the cabinets are solid but ugly? You don’t have to rip the whole thing apart. 

Refacing is an easy way to give your cabinets an update. And honestly, most people are surprised by how big the change feels. The cabinet boxes stay, but the fronts, veneers, and hardware get a fresh start. By the time it’s done, it looks brand-new. Like you gutted the place... only you didn’t.

And the best part? You skip the dust clouds, the endless wait, the living-room-turned-temporary-kitchen nightmare.

Let’s be honest, full remodels are exhausting. They drag on, they cost a ton, and you’re eating takeout for weeks. Cabinet refacing fixes that problem:

• Save Money: Usually 30–50% cheaper than all-new cabinets. That means more money for new counters or even a fancy appliance. 

• Save Time: We’re talking three to five days, not six weeks.

• Waste Less: Your old cabinet boxes stay out of the landfill. Feels good, right?

• Pick Your Look: Shaker doors, bold colors, brushed gold pulls, or whatever you’re into.

It’s one of those projects that feels huge when it’s done but doesn’t turn your whole life upside down.

Don’t just wing it. Walk around your kitchen with a notebook and look at everything. What’s bugging you? Too dark? Not enough drawers? Ugly trim? Write it down.

Grab inspiration pics too. Pinterest, Instagram, magazines, anything goes. Bring them to your designer so they know what you actually like.

And think about how you use your kitchen. If you bake every weekend, maybe add a pull-out for mixers. If you hate digging in corner cabinets, plan for a lazy Susan. Small tweaks like that change how the kitchen layout works.

Not all refacing jobs are created equal. Cheap glue and cheap veneers will peel. Bad installation? Doors won’t line up. And you’ll notice it every day.

Ask about:

• Materials: Showcase Kitchens uses a baked-on finish. Smooth, durable, easy to wipe down.

• Fit: Every door is cut to size. No “close enough” stuff.

• Process: A single person manages your project so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.

• Warranty: You want one. Period.

A little research saves you from re-doing the job in a year.

This isn’t just about pretty new doors. It’s a chance to fix stuff that annoys you.

• Add soft-close hinges so nothing slams anymore.

• Get pull-out shelves so you’re not crawling on the floor for pans.

• Go for glass-front cabinets if you want things to feel brighter.

• Add trim or molding to make it look built-in.

Mixing finishes? Totally allowed. Dark island with light cabinets? Looks custom and feels expensive.

They’ve been doing this since the ’70s. Over 40,000 projects later, they’ve seen everything like crooked walls, weird layouts, tight spaces.

Each job gets a project leader. That means someone is keeping things moving, answering questions, and making sure the crew knows exactly what’s next.

If you’re ready to get started, you can get expert custom cabinet refacing services from Showcase Kitchens. This is their thing. Not a side hustle. Not a weekend project. They’re the kitchen people in Green Bay.

The process for kitchen cabinet refacing is simple:

1. In-Home Consultation: A designer visits your home, takes measurements, and shows you samples.

2. Design Selection: You choose doors, finishes, and hardware.

3. Preparation: Showcase Kitchens creates your custom pieces.

4. Installation: The team resurfaces your cabinet boxes and installs everything with precision.

Most projects are done in just a few days. Your kitchen stays usable, and there’s very little mess.

Refacing isn’t just a “quick fix.” Done right, it’s an upgrade that lasts years. Quality materials and a strong warranty give you peace of mind.

And if anything ever feels off — a hinge loosens, a door needs adjusting — Showcase Kitchens is still around to make it right. That’s the difference between hiring a company with decades of experience and rolling the dice on a one-and-done contractor.

Refacing is one of the easiest ways to give your kitchen a new personality. It’s affordable, fast, and you still get that “wow” moment when you walk in.

Here’s how to start:

• Snap photos and measure your space.

• Book a consultation with Showcase Kitchens.

• Compare options, ask questions, set your timeline.

In a week, you could be standing in a kitchen that feels completely different. No full remodel required.
