How Long Does Cabinet Refacing Take?

August 14, 2022

Cabinet refacing is the process of removing doors and drawer fronts and applying a new veneer over the existing hard structure of your cabinets. Sometimes, the hinges, handles, and drawer pulls can be re-used if they are in good condition or if they match the style you want for your new kitchen or bathroom.

Refacing your cabinets is the way to go to update your kitchen or bathroom at a budget-friendly price. In fact, according to Angi (previously Angie's list), cabinet refacing costs 30% to 50% less than a custom cabinet replacement. It really is a cost-effective solution. And the best thing is that it is relatively fast.


According to Cabinet Coatings of America, most cabinet refacing projects can be completed within a week. However, they remark on the fact that while this timeframe is typical, there are a few factors that can cause a refacing project to take a little longer, such as:

• The company you hire to reface your cabinets


• The size of your kitchen or bathroom


• And, whatever additional renovations that are needed

To their list of factors, we would like to add the materials. Most companies depend on third parties to get the necessary materials, which is why they are not able to give you the best possible price in the market or commit to a fast time frame.

With Cabinet Reface Direct, you can save time and money by cutting out the middleman because we are a manufacturer direct business. Plus, we beat those cabinet refacing times by a lot! Our cabinet refacing jobs are usually completed in less than three days! Here's our time-proven five-step process for cabinet refacing.

Our Process

Cabinet Reface Direct has developed a five-step process that helps us optimize our work and time frames. This is the process our experienced technicians follow:

• Step 1: Remove cabinets' doors, drawers, and fronts.


• Step 2: Use sandpaper and a degreaser to allow for solid adhesion of the refacing.


• Step 3: Cover the cabinet's faces with a matching veneer. And apply a strong adhesive and further secure it with small pin nails.


• Step 4: Add new hinges and install new doors and drawer fronts.


• Step 5: Conduct a final inspection with the customer to ensure everything is to their liking.

Our process is simple, and we can complete it in less than three days! You will be hard-pressed to find a company that can beat our turnaround times and results. Here's what our schedule would look like for both kitchen cabinet refacing and bathroom cabinet refacing services.
