Here’s how we do it. A crew comes to your home. We measure every single door and drawer opening in your kitchen. Those precise measurements go to our shop. We then have a manufacturer build brand new doors and fronts to fit. You pick the door style you want. Shaker, slab, raised panel, it’s your choice. You also pick the colour. Then you wait a few weeks for everything to be built. That waiting period is easy. Your kitchen works normally the whole time.

The real work begins during installation week. We take off your old doors and drawer fronts. The cabinet boxes get prepped. Then we professionally finish them. They match the new doors perfectly. New doors go on. Hardware gets installed. Everything gets adjusted. We make sure doors close right. Drawers slide smooth. In most Oakville homes, this active phase takes about five days.

Now, here’s the part that really matters. The way your cabinet boxes get finished during refacing is. Some traditional refacing companies use a vinyl veneer film. They stick it over your existing boxes. It’s basically a big sticker. And stickers peel. We see this all the time. Kitchens around Bronte and Old Oakville, where people had refacing done years ago, often show this. The edges lift. Corners curl. It can look much worse than what they started with.

We take a different approach. We spray paint the cabinet boxes. We use a professional finish instead of veneer. The boxes get degreased. Then they are sanded. They get primed. Finally, we spray them with multiple coats. This creates a real painted surface. It matches the new doors perfectly. No seams. No edges waiting to peel. Just a clean, uniform look across your entire kitchen. We guarantee it.

Not every company can do this kind of work. Spray painting cabinet boxes needs professional equipment. It needs real finishing expertise. Most refacing companies are cabinet makers first. They don’t own spray booths. They don’t know how to apply catalyzed coatings. So, they just stick to veneer. That’s what they can do.

Cabinet refacing also opens doors to other upgrades. We can add crown molding along the top of your cabinets. New drawer boxes with soft-close slides are popular. We can modify shelf configurations inside. You can even get panel-ready appliance integration. If you have a built-in fridge or dishwasher, we can build and finish matching panels. These add-ons turn a simple door swap into a full kitchen transformation.

One thing people don’t realize until it’s too late is that refacing won’t fix structural problems. If your cabinet boxes are warped, water-damaged, or falling apart, new doors won’t save them. A good refacing crew will tell you this upfront. If the bones aren’t solid, you need a full replacement instead.

For most kitchens in Oakville, though, the boxes are fine. They are sturdy. They are level. They work. It’s usually the doors that look dated. That’s exactly when cabinet refacing makes real sense. You get a brand new style without tearing your kitchen apart. If you’re weighing your options, our cabinet refacing page walks through what’s possible. We can help with your specific situation.

The total timeline from our first measurement to your finished kitchen usually runs about four to five weeks. You lose access to your kitchen for roughly five days. That’s during the install phase. Everything else happens behind the scenes. You cook dinner like normal.
