"I had old style yellow oak kitchen cabinets. Instead of tearing them out, I decided to reface with MadCity. They were professional, efficient and did excellent work. My cabinet doors were re-made in a newer more modern style, the hinges are now on the inside and slow close, and the finish is beautiful. I am now proud of my kitchen. I would recommend MadCity based on quality of their product and work. These have a lifetime guarantee and being local, I am confident in their service in the future (though I'm doubting I will have issues). Great experience from sale to installation."

"We love our cabinets! They look fantastic while remaining affordable. The friendly staff at AWD helped us from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and gave us advice and tips when needed. They were receptive and patient with our ever-changing needs. Once we finalized our purchase, we received our cabinets within two weeks! The cabinets are very sturdy and the color is beautiful. The hinges and hardware are high quality. We are extremely pleased with AWD and would recommend them to any friends or family looking for good cabinets at a fair price."

"I hired James for two days last year to remove some broken tile from the bathroom and install a shower surround in its place. It's more complicated than it sounds because there's a window in that wall of the bathroom, and he also reconstructed the sill and border with water-safe materials rather than the original wood. He did the job quickly, the price was right and I was happy with the results.
This year I wanted to do some more work on the bathroom (see above), so I contacted James again. Again he was able to schedule the work quickly and gave me an estimate that was right in line with the preliminary figures we'd talked about the previous year. We agreed on which supplies I'd pick up and which ones he'd be responsible for, and he was responsive and helpful -- even loading a vanity I'd previously bought into his trailer and bringing it to Home Depot so I could return it when I decided I'd rather have a different one. There was an error with a can of paint he picked up for some of the painting I was going to do -- it was a deep base that needed to be tinted, so it didn't actually have any color on its own. James removed it from my bill for materials, and I bought my own replacement. This was a three-day project, and again I'm happy with how it turned out. The only issue was that we agreed he'd return the following week to rehang the mirror and the linen cabinet doors after I'd finished painting; I had a tough time getting a hold of him to pin down an appointment, and it ended up being the next week before those final touches were completed. I don't care about the delay itself -- it came about in part because of an illness in his family -- but the lack of communication that week was frustrating.
But overall, I can recommend James' work and his rates, and I will hire him again. We've discussed a Phase Three of the bathroom remodel, redoing the floor with tile later this year, and I've also considered having him do a collection of other jobs like installing a garbage disposal and painting the exterior doors."

FAQs for cabinets reface projects in Iowa City, IA

Absolutely. Refacing returns 65% to 80% of your investment at resale, and you get an updated kitchen right now. Because you’re not paying for new boxes or demo work, the price lands well below complete replacement but still delivers a fresh, custom look that buyers—and you—notice every time you walk in.

To trim costs, start by pricing a high-quality paint or gel stain instead of full refacing—stain alone can be one-third the price of full refacing. Keep existing hinges and pulls if they’re in good shape, and shop sales for sandpaper, primer, and sealer. The sweat equity is real, but so are the savings, and a careful DIY job can still leave your cabinets looking sharp for years to come.

A professional crew needs only three to five days to reface a standard kitchen, although a larger layout or intricate door style may add one to two days. Compare that with the several weeks a full cabinet swap can drag on. In other words, you get your space back fast, often before the paint on the new doors is even fully cured.

Yes, you can replace just the cabinet doors and drawer fronts without covering the cabinet boxes. Cabinet refacing involves installing new doors and drawer fronts while applying veneers to existing cabinet boxes. If you’re satisfied with the condition of your cabinets, swapping doors and drawer fronts reduces labor and materials, saving you time and cost. Always consult a professional to confirm compatibility and ensure a seamless, high-quality finish.

Most cabinet refacing projects do not require removing countertops because professionals can access doors and drawers around existing surfaces. However, if your countertop overhang prevents full access to the cabinet boxes, contractors may need to lift the countertop to install veneers properly temporarily. Discuss this with your refacing specialist during the on-site estimate so you know exactly what the project entails.
