Kitchen Cabinet Refacing — Transform Your Space Without a Full Renovation

At Sterling Anchor, we believe that a beautiful kitchen doesn’t always require a complete rebuild. With over a decade of experience in custom installations, we specialize in kitchen cabinet refacing — a smart, cost-effective way to refresh your space while preserving its structure. Whether you’re updating tired doors, modernizing finishes, or completely respraying your cabinetry, our expert team ensures every detail is executed with precision and care.

We treat every client like royalty, and every kitchen like a canvas. Let’s explore the different types of cabinet refacing and how to achieve a flawless, lasting result

What Is Kitchen Cabinet Refacing

Cabinet refacing is the process of updating the visible surfaces of your kitchen cabinetry — including doors, drawer fronts, panels, and hardware — while keeping the existing cabinet boxes intact. It’s ideal for homeowners who want a fresh look without the disruption or cost of a full kitchen remodel.

Types of Cabinet Refacing We Offer

Door & Drawer Front Replacement

The most popular and straightforward option. We replace old doors and drawer fronts with new ones in your chosen style — from sleek modern panels to classic shaker designs.

Best For:

  • Solid cabinet frames in good condition
  • Quick aesthetic upgrades
  • Style changes without structural work

Best Practices:

  • Choose durable materials like MDF or hardwood
  • Match or contrast with existing cabinet boxes
  • Upgrade hinges and soft-close mechanisms for added luxury

Panel & Veneer Overlay

We apply new veneers or laminate panels to the exposed cabinet surfaces, including side panels and face frames, to match your new doors.

Best For:

  • Cohesive look across all surfaces
  • Budget-friendly transformations
  • Modernizing outdated finishes

Best Practices:

  • Use high-quality adhesives and edge banding
  • Select finishes that resist moisture and wear
  • Combine with new hardware for a complete refresh

Complete Cabinet Respraying

For clients who love their current layout but want a bold colour change or updated finish, we offer professional respraying using durable, factory-grade coatings.

Best For:

  • Colour updates (e.g., matte black, soft grey, warm white)
  • Preserving existing doors and panels
  • Achieving a smooth, modern finish

Best Practices:

  • Clean and sand surfaces thoroughly before spraying
  • Use low-VOC, high-durability paint systems
  • Apply multiple coats with professional-grade equipment

Hardware Replacement

Swapping out handles, knobs, and hinges can dramatically change the look and feel of your kitchen.

Best For:

  • Adding a touch of luxury or personality
  • Coordinating with new finishes
  • Improving functionality

Best Practices:

  • Choose hardware that complements your cabinet style
  • Consider brushed brass, matte black, or stainless steel for modern appeal
  • Opt for soft-close hinges and drawer glides for a premium feel

Lighting Integration

While not technically part of refacing, adding LED lighting during the process enhances the final result and highlights your new finishes.

Best For:

  • Under-cabinet task lighting
  • Ambient glow for warmth
  • Showcasing new textures and colours

Best Practices:

  • Use warm white LEDs for a welcoming atmosphere
  • Hide wiring for a clean look
  • Combine with dimmer switches for flexibility

Mixed Refacing & Minor Reconfiguration

Sometimes, a small layout tweak — like adjusting cabinet heights or adding open shelving — can elevate the entire space. We offer hybrid solutions that combine refacing with minor structural updates.

Best For:

  • Kitchens that need both style and slight layout improvements
  • Adding modern features like spice pull-outs or wine racks
  • Creating visual balance and flow

Best Practices:

  • Maintain the integrity of existing cabinetry
  • Use matching materials for seamless integration
  • Consult with our design team to ensure optimal flow
