Older New Braunfels kitchens often have one thing going for them: solid cabinet boxes. The doors and finish look dated, but the structure underneath is fine. Refacing and refinishing takes advantage of that. New doors, new finish, same solid boxes, at a lower cost than full replacement.
New Braunfels Custom Cabinets Pros assesses the existing boxes first. If they're solid, refacing makes sense. If they're not, we'll tell you honestly and point you toward a full replacement instead.

How a refacing or refinishing project runs
We start with an inspection to confirm whether refacing or full refinishing fits your boxes. Surfaces get cleaned and prepped, then new doors go on or veneer gets applied over the existing boxes. A new finish follows, matched to the style you want. Hardware and trim get adjusted last for a clean, finished look.

Materials and methods for Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing
Finishes here need to hold up to the same humidity swings as a full rebuild, just applied to existing boxes instead of new ones.
Veneer Sheets
Thin wood layers that refresh existing box surfaces without a full rebuild.
Replacement Cabinet Doors
New doors that modernize the look while keeping the original box structure.
Wood Fillers
Used to repair minor dings or gaps before refinishing begins.
Stain Finishes
Applied for a renewed wood tone that still reads as real wood grain.
Hardware Upgrades
New handles and knobs that complete the refreshed look.
Protective Topcoat
A sealant that resists humidity-driven peeling, a common failure point on older DIY paint jobs.

Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing FAQs
Can I just reface my cabinets instead of replacing them?
If the existing boxes are solid, yes. Refacing swaps doors, veneer, and finish while keeping the structure underneath, usually at a lower cost than full replacement.
How much cheaper is refacing than full replacement?
Refacing generally costs less because the box construction labor and materials are already in place. Exact savings depend on door count and finish choice.
Does refacing require a permit?
It's cosmetic work with no structural or utility changes involved.
