Do you do full kitchen remodels or only cabinets?

Cabinets and finishing are ours; stone, tile, plumbing and electrical are contracted and scheduled by us. So a full remodel runs through one contract with one company answerable for it — but we do not claim trades we do not hold, because the moment a quote does that you have lost the ability to tell what you are buying.

Not for refacing, repainting or replacing cabinetry — none of that is structural and none of it touches services. Permits come into it when walls move or plumbing and electrical are relocated, and in that case the trade doing the work pulls them. We will say plainly which side of that line your project sits on.

How long does cabinet refacing take?

Four to five weeks end to end, but you only lose the kitchen for five days of it. Your doors are custom-made to our measurements first, which takes about four weeks, and nothing changes at home while that happens. We only start in your house once everything is on site.

How much does refacing cost compared to new cabinets?

Refacing usually lands 50–70% less than tearing out and replacing, because your cabinet boxes stay. Most Oakville refaces fall between $8,000 and $15,000; the saving comes from labour and disposal as much as materials.

Can you match my existing countertops and backsplash?

Yes. We bring door and finish samples to your kitchen and check them against your existing surfaces in your own light before anything is ordered.

Will refacing work with my kitchen layout?

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

Do you work in all Oakville neighbourhoods?

We work throughout Oakville and across 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 reusable goes to a local reuse centre rather than landfill.

Can I use my kitchen during the work?

For the four weeks your doors are being made, nothing changes at all. During the installation week you lose the kitchen, and we ask you out of the house for the two or three days we are spraying, because the finish is solvent-based. It is a short interruption you can put a date on.

Do you offer a warranty?

Five years on our own work — the finish and the workmanship — and fifteen on waterproof MDF doors and drawer fronts. Stone is the exception — countertops carry a one-year warranty from the fabricator who cuts them, not ours. Every term goes in writing with the quote rather than asking for trust.

Cabinet Refacing Oakville | Kitchen Made New

Three things we do

Refacing is the core. Painting and countertops come with it.

New fronts on the boxes you have, a sprayed colour on the doors you have, or new stone across the top — most kitchens want one of these, and some want two.

Cabinet refacing

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

The doors you have, in the colour you want — degreased, sprayed in the booth and finished in catalyzed 2K.
Countertops

Specified, priced and scheduled against the cabinet work, so the kitchen shuts once instead of twice.

Start here

What cabinet refacing actually is

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

After — Kitchen cabinet refacing in Glen Abbey, Oakville — grey slab doors replaced with soft-grey shaker 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 boxes are solid — the doors are what look tired. Refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts with custom-made panels and applies a matching finish to the frames around them, so the kitchen reads as new while the structure you already paid for stays where it is.

That difference is what keeps the disruption to five days rather than five weeks. There is no demolition, no re-plumbing, and no waiting on trades. It is also most of the saving: with the boxes kept, most of our customers pay 50–70% less than new cabinetry would cost, and the result stands beside it.

It is not right for everyone. If your layout does not work, or the boxes are water-damaged, refacing puts a new face on the wrong problem. We will tell you that at the consultation rather than after the deposit.

How disruptive it is

The four weeks you keep your kitchen

The number that matters is not the project length, it is how long you have no kitchen, and those are very different. Four of the five weeks happen in the shop while your kitchen carries on working — only the last one is disruptive, and we ask you out of the house for two or three days of it.

Week one, day one

Measured and labelled

Doors, drawer fronts and removable panels come off, and are measured and labelled. Colour is chosen in your kitchen, against your counters and your floor, in the light you use the room in. Then the doors go to the shop.
Weeks one to four

Nothing happens at your house

The doors are being made and sprayed. Your kitchen has no doors on it and works in every other respect — sink, appliances, counters, all of it, with open shelving where the fronts were.
The last five days

Sprayed, hung and adjusted

Containment goes up, the boxes are degreased, sanded and sprayed in place, and the new doors come back and are hung one by one. This is the only week without a working kitchen.
Signed off

Walked through together

Through every cabinet with you before anything is signed off. The finish is cured rather than merely dry, so the cupboards can be loaded that evening.

Who you deal with

One contract, whoever holds the tool

Two trades are ours — spray finishing and cabinetry — and two more we bring in. All of it sits on one quote and one schedule, and there is one person to call about any of it.

Our own crew

Made, altered and finished by us, start to finish.

Cabinetry

New doors and drawer fronts
Drawer boxes
Reconfiguring a run, altering openings
Building an island box
Crown moulding and millwork
Panel-ready appliance panels, built and sprayed to match the doors exactly

Finishing

Spraying in the booth
Spraying boxes on site behind containment
Stripping and staining, where a kitchen is being refinished

In between

Old handle holes plugged or filled, and damage repaired before any primer goes on — most of what separates a tidy job from an obvious one

Brought in, on our contract

Specialists we have booked for years — sequenced into our week, priced on our quote.

Stone countertops Templated off the finished cabinets and installed the same week as your doors.
Backsplash tiling Tile setting is a third trade, and doing it occasionally is how you get grout lines that do not line up.
Moving plumbing or electrical Booked in and sequenced with everything else.

Either way, you deal with us. When a specialist is brought in, we still hold the contract, the schedule and the responsibility — not four companies blaming each other. What we will not do is claim a trade we do not hold, because the moment somebody does that on a quote, you have lost the ability to tell what you are buying.

How we work

Why the disruption is only five days

Your doors are made while your kitchen carries on working. We only start in your house once they exist, which is what keeps the disruptive part short.

Day one

Off and sealed

Doors and drawer fronts come off. Zipper walls and sheeting seal the kitchen from the rest of the house, appliances and counters are masked, filtration goes in.
Days two and three

Degreased and sanded

Our own solvent degreaser lifts the wax and polish a water-based cleaner leaves behind, then every frame is sanded. Prep decides whether a finish lasts.
Days four and five

Sprayed

Tinted primer, sanded, then two topcoats of 2K polyurethane with a cure between each. Best to be out of the house for these two.
Final day

Installed and walked through

New doors and drawer fronts on, hardware on, every door adjusted. Then through every cabinet together before anything is signed off.

The usual confusion

Refacing or repainting — they are not the same job

Almost every inquiry starts here. The difference decides the price, the result, and whether either one suits your kitchen at all.

Aspect	Refacing	Repainting
Doors and drawer fronts	Replaced with new panels made to your measurements.	Kept. Degreased, sanded, primed and sprayed.
Cabinet frames	Sprayed on site in 2K to match the doors — new ones or the ones you keep.
Change the door style	Yes — shaker, slab, raised panel, whatever suits the room.	No. You keep the profile you already have, in a new colour.
Suits a kitchen where	The boxes are sound but the doors are dated, damaged, or the wrong style.	The doors are sound and well made, and only the colour has aged.
Time on site	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 — you are buying new doors.	Lower — you are buying labour and finish.

Walk through one

The Uptown Core kitchen, finished

The charcoal kitchen from the pair above, filmed once the last door was back on.

The doors and drawer fronts came off first and spent about two weeks at the shop. The kitchen stayed usable that whole time — open-fronted, but the sink and the appliances all worked as normal. Spraying the frames here and hanging everything back took a few days after that.

Three new boxes went in along the way. The sink cabinet, the corner unit with its soft-close drawers, and the beverage station on the left as you come through. Thirty-four pairs of hinges across the rest. The old handle holes were plugged with solid wood dowels and drilled fresh for the new ones, which is why you cannot find them.

The valance came off too. The light you can see under the uppers sits in a channel routed into panels built for it, not a strip stuck on afterwards.

The countertops were not ours — 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.

What we do

Kitchen services in Oakville

Refacing is the core of it. The rest are the jobs that usually come with it.

Kitchen cabinet refacing in Oakville

The core of what we do. We measure your kitchen, make doors and drawer fronts to those exact dimensions, and fit them to the frames you already have. Hinges are replaced at the same time, so the doors close the way new cabinetry does rather than the way yours does now. Where the boxes were built properly and only the fronts have dated, a five-day installation suits so many Oakville homes — and that is more kitchens than people expect.

Cabinet painting and spraying in Oakville

Not every kitchen needs new doors. Where the profiles still suit the room, a sprayed finish changes the colour without changing the cabinetry, and leaves none of the brush marks that give away a repaint. Doors go to the booth for about two weeks while you carry on with a working doorless kitchen, and we spray cabinets on site with full masking at the end. Spraying is a painter's trade, not a cabinet maker's, and we handle stain and natural wood as well as solid colour.

Kitchen cabinet refinishing in Oakville

This is the one for people who want wood rather than colour. The old finish is chemically stripped back to bare timber, sanded, stained to the tone you want and sealed under clear 2K — so the grain shows and the protection is the same as a painted finish. Deciding whether refinishing beats replacing your doors comes down to the timber: it needs solid wood underneath, which is why we look before promising it.

Quartz countertop replacement in Oakville

Counters and cabinet fronts age at different rates, and a new door against a chipped laminate edge draws the eye straight to the counter. We schedule the quartz into the same installation week as the refacing, so the kitchen is out of action once rather than twice. Because the template is taken from the installed cabinets rather than the old counter, swapping worn countertops during a reface puts the overhang and the sink cutout exactly where they should be, and quartz brings no sealing schedule with it.

Full kitchen design in Oakville

Choosing finishes from a showroom board rarely predicts how they look in your own kitchen at four in the afternoon. Most people arrive with a photograph and leave with something different once they have seen the samples against their own floors and their own light, which is exactly what working through door profiles, stone and hardware is for. It is the least technical part of the process and the one that decides whether you still like the result in five years.

Beyond refacing

Other work we take on in Oakville

Separate services, each with its own page.

See the colour on your own cabinets first

Choosing the colour is the part people get stuck on, and a chip held up in a shop is no help at all — a colour behaves differently in your own light, against 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 photograph, pick from the colours we spray most often, and see your own cabinets in it. The same photographs then start your written quote, which comes back inside 24 hours.

Custom doors, drawers and hardware

The parts of a kitchen you touch every day are usually the parts that wear out first. As a cabinet maker we fit doors made to your existing openings, swap tired hinges for BLUMOTION soft-close hardware, rebuild drawer boxes with dovetail construction, and add crown and trim so the finished run looks built in rather than fitted. These are the upgrades that change how a kitchen feels to use, and replacement doors and soft-close hardware can be installed on their own without committing to a full reface. Each piece is made for your kitchen, not bought to a standard size.

Quartz countertops and backsplash

Stone and tile are a countertop contractor's trade, and they are what tie a refaced kitchen together. We contract quartz to stone shops and backsplashes to tilers, both trades we have used for years, and schedule them around the cabinetry. Doing it alongside the cabinetry means one set of measurements and one disruption instead of two. Where an island is the only thing changing, a contrasting quartz slab is the cheapest way to make a kitchen look deliberately designed rather than assembled, and it needs no work to the rest of the run.

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

Refacing is priced 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 quote differently — a galley with twelve wide doors costs less than a U-shape with twenty-six narrow ones, even though the floor area is identical.

The price comes together in three layers:

The count — every door and drawer front, because each one is handled, prepped, sprayed and hung
The days — a day rate against how long your kitchen takes, which follows from how many boxes there are, their condition, and how awkward the layout is to work around
The material — a painted MDF shaker in a standard colour at one end, rift-cut white oak with a custom stain at the other

Hardware, soft-close hinges and millwork are quoted as separate lines, so you can see what each choice adds instead of being handed a single number.

We count from photographs in almost every case, and the written quote follows inside 24 hours. It is the same figure a visit would produce and we do not revise it afterwards, so you can put it beside other quotes and compare like with like — which you cannot do with a verbal number.

How the price is built

Typical range: $8,000 to $15,000
Priced on: Door and drawer count, plus days on site — not floor area
Quote turnaround: Inside 24 hours, from your photographs
After a visit: Unchanged. 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 — Glen Abbey, Bronte, College Park, River Oaks and the older streets around Old Oakville, where we keep finding solid cabinet boxes behind doors that have simply dated.

Burlington, Milton and Hamilton are all within our service area, and the same process applies there. Burlington in particular shares Oakville's housing profile, so the same approach tends to suit those kitchens too.

Why us

Why Oakville homeowners choose us for refacing

Your boxes stay, so most of the cost never happens: Refacing replaces the doors, drawer fronts and hinges and keeps the boxes you already have. The saving is labour and disposal as much as materials, which is why refacing lands at 50–70% less than tearing the kitchen out.
Two trades under one roof, which is unusual: Painting companies do not do cabinetry and refacing companies do not spray properly. This company holds both, so the doors are made and finished by the same crew rather than handed between two contractors who each blame the other.
The quote is the price: Send photographs and a written price comes back inside 24 hours. It is not revised after a visit and it does not move during the job. Every add-on is its own line, so you can remove one rather than renegotiate a total.
Five days without a kitchen, not five weeks: Your doors are made while your kitchen carries on working. We only start in the house once they exist, which is what keeps the disruptive part to a single week.

Questions

Common questions about refacing in Oakville

Do you do full kitchen remodels or only cabinets?: Cabinets and finishing are ours; stone, tile, plumbing and electrical are contracted and scheduled by us. So a full remodel runs through one contract with one company answerable for it — but we do not claim trades we do not hold, because the moment a quote does that you have lost the ability to tell what you are buying.
Will I need permits?: Not for refacing, repainting or replacing cabinetry — none of that is structural and none of it touches services. Permits come into it when walls move or plumbing and electrical are relocated, and in that case the trade doing the work pulls them. We will say plainly which side of that line your project sits on.
How long does cabinet refacing take?: Four to five weeks end to end, but you only lose the kitchen for five days of it. Your doors are custom-made to our measurements first, which takes about four weeks, and nothing changes at home while that happens. We only start in your house once everything is on site.
How much does refacing cost compared to new cabinets?: Refacing usually lands 50–70% less than tearing out and replacing, because your cabinet boxes stay. Most Oakville refaces fall between $8,000 and $15,000; the saving comes from labour and disposal as much as materials.
Can you match my existing countertops and backsplash?: Yes. We bring door and finish samples to your kitchen and check them against your existing surfaces in your own light before anything is ordered.
Will refacing work with my kitchen layout?: If the layout works for how you cook, refacing keeps it and changes how it looks. If the layout is the problem, refacing will not fix that and we will say so.
Do you work in all Oakville neighbourhoods?: We work throughout Oakville and across 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 reusable goes to a local reuse centre rather than landfill.
Can I use my kitchen during the work?: For the four weeks your doors are being made, nothing changes at all. During the installation week you lose the kitchen, and we ask you out of the house for the two or three days we are spraying, because the finish is solvent-based. It is a short interruption you can put a date on.
Do you offer a warranty?: Five years on our own work — the finish and the workmanship — and fifteen on waterproof MDF doors and drawer fronts. Stone is the exception — countertops carry a one-year warranty from the fabricator who cuts them, not ours. Every term goes in writing with the quote rather than asking for trust.
