Do you do full kitchen remodels or only cabinets?

Cabinets and finishing are our own work. We hire and schedule the stone, tile, plumbing and electrical. So a full remodel runs through one contract, with one company responsible for it. But we do not claim trades we do not do. If a quote does that, you can no longer tell what you are paying for.

Not for refacing, repainting or replacing cabinets. None of that changes the structure or the plumbing and wiring. You need permits when walls move or plumbing and electrical are moved. In that case, the trade doing that work gets the permits. We will tell you clearly which side of that line your project is on.

How long does cabinet refacing take?

Four to five weeks from start to finish, but you are only without your kitchen for five days. First, your doors are made to our measurements. That takes about four weeks, and nothing changes at home during that time. We only start work in your home once everything is ready.

How much does refacing cost compared to new cabinets?

Refacing usually costs 50–70% less than tearing out and replacing, because your cabinet boxes stay. Most Oakville refacing jobs cost between $8,000 and $15,000. You save on labour and on hauling away old cabinets, not just on materials.

Can you match my existing countertops and backsplash?

Yes. We bring door and finish samples to your kitchen. We check them next to your counters and backsplash, in your own light, before we order anything.

Will refacing work with my kitchen layout?

If your layout works for how you cook, refacing keeps it and changes how it looks. If the layout is the problem, refacing will not fix it, and we will tell you so.

Do you work in all Oakville neighbourhoods?

We work all over Oakville, and in Burlington, Milton and Hamilton. Most jobs are within about twenty minutes of Oakville.

What happens to my old cabinet doors?

We take them away. Anything that can be reused goes to a local reuse centre, not to the landfill.

Can I use my kitchen during the work?

For the four weeks your doors are being made, nothing changes at all. During the install week, you cannot use your kitchen. We ask you to leave the house for the two or three days we are spraying, because the finish is solvent-based. It is a short break, and you know the dates ahead of time.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Five years on our own work, which is the finish and the workmanship. Fifteen years on waterproof MDF doors and drawer fronts. Stone is different. Countertops have a one-year warranty from the company that cuts them, not from us. We put every term in writing with your quote.

Cabinet Refacing Oakville | Kitchen Made New

Three things we do

Refacing is our main service. Painting and countertops go with it.

New doors on the cabinets you have, a new sprayed colour on the doors you have, or new stone countertops. Most kitchens need one of these, and some need two.

Cabinet refacing

New doors and drawer fronts on the cabinet boxes already on your wall, with the frames sprayed to match.
Cabinet painting

The doors you have, in the colour you want. Cleaned, sprayed in our booth and finished in 2K.
Countertops

Chosen, priced and scheduled along with the cabinet work, so your kitchen is shut down once, not twice.

What cabinet refacing actually is

Before — Kitchen cabinet refacing in Glen Abbey, Oakville. Grey slab doors were replaced with soft grey shaker doors and crown moulding — Glen Abbey · refaced, slab to shaker with crown moulding

After — Kitchen cabinet refacing in Glen Abbey, Oakville. Grey slab doors were replaced with soft grey shaker doors and crown moulding — Glen Abbey · refaced, slab to shaker with crown moulding

Most Oakville kitchens we see do not need to be torn out. The cabinet boxes are solid. It is the doors that look tired. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts with custom-made panels. Then we spray the frames around them to match. Your kitchen looks new, and the cabinets you already paid for stay where they are.

That is why the mess only lasts five days, not five weeks. There is no demolition, no new plumbing, and no waiting for other trades. It is also where most of the saving comes from. Because you keep the boxes, most of our customers pay 50–70% less than new cabinets would cost. And the result looks just as good.

It is not right for everyone. If your layout does not work, or the boxes have water damage, refacing only puts a new face on the wrong problem. We will tell you that at the consultation, before you pay a deposit.

How disruptive it is

The four weeks you keep your kitchen

What matters most is not how long the project takes. It is how long you are without a kitchen, and those are very different. Four of the five weeks happen in our shop while your kitchen keeps working. Only the last week is disruptive. We ask you to leave the house for two or three days of it.

Week one, day one

Measured and labelled

We take off the doors, drawer fronts and loose panels. We measure and label each one. You choose your colour in your kitchen, next to your counters and floor, in your own light. Then the doors go to our shop.
Weeks one to four

Nothing happens at your house

We make and spray your doors. Your kitchen has no doors, but everything else works. The sink, appliances and counters all work as normal, with open shelves where the doors were.
The last five days

Sprayed, hung and adjusted

We put up plastic walls. We clean, sand and spray the cabinet boxes in place. Then we hang the new doors one by one. This is the only week you are without a working kitchen.
Signed off

Checked together

We check every cabinet with you before anything is signed off. The finish is fully cured, not just dry, so you can fill your cupboards that evening.

Who you deal with

One contract, whoever holds the tool

Two trades are our own: spray finishing and cabinet making. We bring in two more. All of it is on one quote and one schedule, and there is one person to call about any of it.

Our own crew

We make, change and finish this work ourselves, from start to finish.

Cabinets

New doors and drawer fronts
Drawer boxes
Changing a run of cabinets or the size of an opening
Building an island box
Crown moulding and trim
Panels for panel-ready appliances, made and sprayed to match your doors

Finishing

Spraying in our paint booth
Spraying cabinet boxes in your home, behind plastic walls
Stripping and staining, when a kitchen is being refinished

In between

Filling old handle holes and fixing damage before any primer goes on. This is what makes a job look tidy

Brought in, on our contract

Specialists we have used for years. We schedule them and include them in our quote.

Stone countertops Measured off your finished cabinets and installed the same week as your doors.
Backsplash tiling Tile setting is a separate trade. Someone who only does it now and then can leave grout lines that do not line up.
Moving plumbing or electrical Booked and scheduled along with everything else.

Either way, you deal with us. When we bring in a specialist, we still hold the contract, the schedule and the responsibility. You do not have four companies blaming each other. We will not claim a trade we do not do. If a quote does that, you can no longer tell what you are paying for.

How we work

Why the mess only lasts five days

We make your doors while your kitchen keeps working. We only start work in your home once the doors are ready. That keeps the messy part short.

Day one

Doors off, room sealed

The doors and drawer fronts come off. We put up zipper walls and plastic to close the kitchen off from the rest of the house. We cover the appliances and counters and set up air filters.
Days two and three

Cleaned and sanded

Our own strong cleaner removes the wax and polish that a water-based cleaner leaves behind. Then we sand every frame. Good prep is what makes a finish last.
Days four and five

Sprayed

We spray a tinted primer and sand it. Then we spray two top coats of 2K polyurethane and let each one cure. It is best to be out of the house for these two days.
Final day

Installed and checked together

We put on the new doors, drawer fronts and hardware, and adjust every door. Then we check every cabinet with you before anything is signed off.

A common mix-up

Refacing and repainting are not the same job

Almost every question starts here. The difference changes the price and the result. It also decides whether either one suits your kitchen.

Aspect	Refacing	Repainting
Doors and drawer fronts	Replaced with new panels made to your measurements.	Kept. Cleaned, sanded, primed and sprayed.
Cabinet frames	Sprayed in your home in 2K to match the doors, whether the doors are new or kept.
Change the door style	Yes. Shaker, slab, raised panel, or whatever suits the room.	No. You keep the door shape you have, in a new colour.
Best for a kitchen where	The cabinet boxes are solid, but the doors are dated, damaged or the wrong style.	The doors are solid and well made, and only the colour looks old.
Time in your home	About five days.
Start to finish	Four to five weeks. Your doors are being made for four of them.	Two and a half to three weeks.
Cost	Higher, because you are buying new doors.	Lower, because you are paying for labour and finish.

Walk through one

The Uptown Core kitchen, finished

A photo only shows one view. A video walks through the whole room, including the corners a photo would leave out.

The finished Uptown Core kitchen, with charcoal sprayed cabinets around a white quartz island, four stools, and lit glass-front upper cabinets that open onto the living room — Uptown Core · golden oak sprayed charcoal · 1 min 11 sec

This is the charcoal kitchen from the photos above. We filmed it after the last door went back on.

First, the doors and drawer fronts came off and went to our shop for about two weeks. The kitchen stayed usable the whole time. It had no doors, but the sink and the appliances all worked as normal. After that, it took a few days to spray the frames here and hang everything back up.

We also put in three new cabinet boxes. These were the sink cabinet, the corner cabinet with its soft-close drawers, and the drinks station on the left as you walk in. We replaced thirty-four pairs of hinges in the rest of the kitchen. We filled the old handle holes with solid wood plugs and drilled new ones for the new handles. That is why you cannot see them.

We took the valance off too. The lights under the upper cabinets sit in a groove cut into panels we made for them. They are not a strip stuck on after.

We did not do the countertops. The owner had those done separately.

The whole renovation was done in 4 days, from start to finish. A complete reface including new doors, handles, kick plates, soft close hinges… for a reasonable price.

He offered great advice on colour choices and cabinets, crown moulding and valances, hardware… all while respecting my budget. The cabinet refacing is top quality. Beautifully smooth finish.

What we do

Kitchen services in Oakville

Refacing is our main service. The others are jobs that often go with it.

Kitchen cabinet refacing in Oakville

This is our main service. We measure your kitchen and make new doors and drawer fronts to those exact sizes. Then we fit them to the frames you already have. We replace the hinges at the same time, so your doors close like new ones do. Many kitchens have well-built boxes and only dated doors. That is why a five-day installation suits so many Oakville homes. It works for more kitchens than people expect, and it saves you the cost of new boxes.

Cabinet painting and spraying in Oakville

Not every kitchen needs new doors. If you still like the door shape, a sprayed finish changes the colour without changing the cabinets. It leaves no brush marks, which are what give away a home paint job. Your doors go to our booth for about two weeks. You keep using your kitchen without doors. At the end, we spray cabinets on site with full masking. Spraying is a painter's skill, not a cabinet maker's. We do stains and natural wood as well as solid colours.

Kitchen cabinet refinishing in Oakville

This is for people who want to see the wood, not a colour. We strip the old finish off with chemicals, down to the bare wood. Then we sand it, stain it to the colour you want, and seal it with clear 2K. The wood grain shows, and it is just as well protected as a painted finish. Deciding whether refinishing beats replacing your doors comes down to the wood. It has to be solid wood underneath. That is why we check your doors before we promise it.

Quartz countertop replacement in Oakville

Counters and cabinet doors wear out at different speeds. A new door next to a chipped laminate edge makes people look straight at the counter. We book the quartz into the same install week as the refacing, so your kitchen is shut down once, not twice. The stone is measured from your installed cabinets, not from the old counter. So swapping worn countertops during a reface puts the overhang and the sink cutout exactly where they should be. Quartz also never needs sealing.

Full kitchen design in Oakville

Choosing finishes from a showroom board rarely shows how they will look in your own kitchen in the afternoon. Most people come to us with a photo. Many change their mind once they see the samples next to their own floors and in their own light. That is what working through door profiles, stone and hardware is for. It is the least technical part of the job. But it decides whether you still like your kitchen in five years.

Beyond refacing

Other work we do in Oakville

Separate services, each with its own page.

See the colour on your own cabinets first

Choosing a colour is where most people get stuck. A paint chip held up in a store does not help much. A colour looks different in your own light, next to your own floor and counter. So we built a tool that shows you what a colour does to your own kitchen before anyone quotes it. Upload one wide photo of your kitchen. Pick from the colours we spray most often, and see your own cabinets in that colour. The same photos then start your written quote, which comes back within 24 hours.

Custom doors, drawers and hardware

The parts of a kitchen you touch every day usually wear out first. As a cabinet maker, we make doors to fit your openings. We swap old hinges for BLUMOTION soft-close hinges. We rebuild drawer boxes with dovetail joints. We also add crown moulding and trim, so the finished cabinets look built in, not just added on. These upgrades change how your kitchen feels to use. And replacement doors and soft-close hardware can be installed on their own, without a full reface. Each piece is made for your kitchen, not bought in a standard size.

Quartz countertops and backsplash

Stone and tile are a countertop contractor's trade, and they pull a refaced kitchen together. We hire stone shops for quartz and tilers for backsplashes. We have used both for years, and we schedule them around the cabinet work. Doing it all together means one set of measurements and one disruption instead of two. If the island is the only thing changing, a contrasting quartz slab is the cheapest way to make a kitchen look planned. It needs no work on the rest of the cabinets.

What it costs

How refacing is priced

A whole U-shaped kitchen in one frame — eight upper doors, six lower doors and four drawer fronts sprayed white with black bar pulls, the backsplash stripped and waiting on the tiler

We price refacing by the number of doors and drawer fronts, not by the square foot of your kitchen. That is why two kitchens of the same size can get different prices. A galley kitchen with twelve wide doors costs less than a U-shaped kitchen with twenty-six narrow ones, even if the floor size is the same.

Your price is made up of three parts:

The count: every door and drawer front, because we handle, prep, spray and hang each one
The days: a daily rate for how long your kitchen takes. This depends on how many boxes there are, what shape they are in, and how hard the layout is to work around
The material: from a painted MDF shaker door in a standard colour, up to rift-cut white oak with a custom stain

Hardware, soft-close hinges and trim are each priced on their own line. That way you can see what each choice adds, instead of getting one number.

In almost every case, we count from your photos, and the written quote comes within 24 hours. It is the same price a visit would give you, and we do not change it later. So you can compare it fairly with other quotes. You cannot do that with a price given over the phone.

How the price is worked out

Typical range: $8,000 to $15,000
Based on: How many doors and drawers, plus days in your home. Not floor size
Quote time: Within 24 hours, from your photos
After a visit: No change. The quote is the price
Warranty: 5 years on finish and workmanship, 15 on waterproof MDF doors

Where we work

Serving Oakville and the towns around it

A family kitchen with its doors sprayed white and the black granite kept — glass-front uppers over the sink, an island in the foreground, and the patio door opening onto a snow-covered deck

Most of our work is in Oakville and within about twenty minutes of it. That includes Glen Abbey, Bronte, College Park, River Oaks and the older streets around Old Oakville. In these areas, we keep finding solid cabinet boxes behind doors that simply look dated.

Burlington, Milton and Hamilton are all in our service area, and we work the same way there. Burlington has a lot of the same kinds of homes as Oakville, so the same approach tends to suit those kitchens too.

Why us

Why Oakville homeowners choose us for refacing

Your cabinet boxes stay, so you skip most of the cost: Refacing replaces the doors, drawer fronts and hinges. You keep the cabinet boxes you already have. You save on labour and on hauling away old cabinets, not just on materials. That is why refacing costs 50–70% less than tearing the kitchen out.
Two trades under one roof: Painting companies do not build cabinets, and refacing companies do not spray properly. We do both. The same crew makes and finishes your doors, so no job gets passed between two companies that blame each other.
The quote is the price: Send us photos and you get a written price within 24 hours. We do not change it after a visit, and it does not change during the job. Each add-on is its own line, so you can remove one without starting over.
Five days without a kitchen, not five weeks: We make your doors while your kitchen keeps working. We only start work in your home once the doors are ready. That keeps the messy part to one week.

Questions

Common questions about refacing in Oakville

Do you do full kitchen remodels or only cabinets?: Cabinets and finishing are our own work. We hire and schedule the stone, tile, plumbing and electrical. So a full remodel runs through one contract, with one company responsible for it. But we do not claim trades we do not do. If a quote does that, you can no longer tell what you are paying for.
Will I need permits?: Not for refacing, repainting or replacing cabinets. None of that changes the structure or the plumbing and wiring. You need permits when walls move or plumbing and electrical are moved. In that case, the trade doing that work gets the permits. We will tell you clearly which side of that line your project is on.
How long does cabinet refacing take?: Four to five weeks from start to finish, but you are only without your kitchen for five days. First, your doors are made to our measurements. That takes about four weeks, and nothing changes at home during that time. We only start work in your home once everything is ready.
How much does refacing cost compared to new cabinets?: Refacing usually costs 50–70% less than tearing out and replacing, because your cabinet boxes stay. Most Oakville refacing jobs cost between $8,000 and $15,000. You save on labour and on hauling away old cabinets, not just on materials.
Can you match my existing countertops and backsplash?: Yes. We bring door and finish samples to your kitchen. We check them next to your counters and backsplash, in your own light, before we order anything.
Will refacing work with my kitchen layout?: If your layout works for how you cook, refacing keeps it and changes how it looks. If the layout is the problem, refacing will not fix it, and we will tell you so.
Do you work in all Oakville neighbourhoods?: We work all over Oakville, and in Burlington, Milton and Hamilton. Most jobs are within about twenty minutes of Oakville.
What happens to my old cabinet doors?: We take them away. Anything that can be reused goes to a local reuse centre, not to the landfill.
Can I use my kitchen during the work?: For the four weeks your doors are being made, nothing changes at all. During the install week, you cannot use your kitchen. We ask you to leave the house for the two or three days we are spraying, because the finish is solvent-based. It is a short break, and you know the dates ahead of time.
Do you offer a warranty?: Yes. Five years on our own work, which is the finish and the workmanship. Fifteen years on waterproof MDF doors and drawer fronts. Stone is different. Countertops have a one-year warranty from the company that cuts them, not from us. We put every term in writing with your quote.
