"In the end, the project came out fine; however, it was like pulling teeth. Started out with a bad job of explaining options. We wanted a 1st class project with all the top-of-the line choices (what do I know about cabinet options?). Did not include soft close drawer hardware (we pushed a change order during construction), etc. We had to pull the information out during construction. He goofed on ordering parts (delayed the project considerably), did not want to cover all the surfaces with new white panels (did not want to remove the microwave or pull the fridge), never covered the cabinet bottoms (we have to have them painted), goofed up two drawer handles and did not reinstall the microwave vent. Finally, there remains a small gap at one of the drawers. I have no intention of calling to have it repaired. I will live with it. The thing about our project, it is the same owner who refaced our kitchen cabinets 15 years ago. That project went very smooth. Our expectations were to have every cabinet face, that was refaced 15 years ago, refaced again with the new color. That was clearly not his intentions for this project. We had to fight at every step."

"We couldnâ t be happier that we chose to partner with Plane Wood Carpentry. We met Hector during a consultation for a kitchen remodel. While Hectorâ s bid was not the cheapest, he listened to our ideas, shared a variety of options, and really collaborated with us to bring our vision to life. His attention to detail and craftsmanship resulted in the kind of custom quality we were looking for. The final project was far better than we could have imagined. We will definitely be working with Hector again on future projects. Plane Wood Carpentry has our highest recommendation."

FAQs for cabinets reface projects in Oak Brook, IL

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.
