Converse's older homes tend to have cabinet boxes that are still structurally solid, just dated on the surface. Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing replaces doors and drawer fronts and applies new veneer over the existing boxes, instead of tearing everything out.
Converse Custom Cabinets starts every refacing job with an assessment of the existing boxes. If they're solid, refacing saves money over a full teardown. If they're not, we'll say so.

Cabinet Refacing And Refinishing FAQs
Is it cheaper to reface cabinets or replace them entirely?
Refacing is almost always cheaper when the existing boxes are solid. Full replacement makes sense only when boxes show water damage or structural failure.
How do I know if my cabinets are good candidates for refacing?
We check the boxes for water damage, warping, and structural soundness during the free assessment. Solid boxes with dated doors are ideal candidates.
How long does refacing take compared to full replacement?
Refacing usually finishes in one to two weeks. Full replacement runs four to six weeks for fabrication alone.
