Homeowners near downtown Wheaton, Danada, and Briarcliffe share what it was like having the crew working in their kitchens, how the new doors changed the space, and what they paid compared to a full cabinet replacement.
A kitchen decision in Wheaton usually comes down to four questions: how long will the work take, what will it cost, will it hold up, and will the crew respect an older home? Here’s how we answer each one.
Doors, drawer fronts, and end panels for a Wheaton kitchen are cut and finished at our West Chicago plant rather than ordered from an outside supplier. That control over production lets us match the unusual cabinet openings found in pre-1950 Wheaton homes without having to wait on a third party's schedule.
New cabinet installation and cabinet refacing solve the same visual problem at very different budgets. Refacing a Wheaton kitchen typically costs about half as much as full cabinet replacement, leaving room in the budget for a counter or floor upgrade instead.
Our doors and drawer fronts go through a vacuum press, where heat and pressure fuse the laminate or rigid thermofoil to the substrate as a single sealed layer. That process helps the finish resist chipping along the edges, unlike painted doors, which can eventually chip with wear.
Many Wheaton households run on the Metra Union Pacific West Line schedule or District 200's school year. A refacing job that runs 3-5 business days can fit within a normal workweek instead of stretching across a school break.
Refacing rebuilds only the surfaces you see and touch. The frame, hinges' mounting points, and everything behind the cabinet face stay untouched, so there is nothing to reroute in the plumbing or electrical hiding inside older Wheaton walls.
Send a handful of cabinet photos through our online form. We reply with a starting price range, then set up an in-person visit at your Wheaton address to finalize measurements, hardware, and finish.
Our current lineup includes shaker doors in solid paint colors, wood-grain laminate finishes in oak and walnut tones, and slab-front doors for a plain, modern face. We bring samples of each to the in-home consultation so you can hold them next to your actual countertop and floor before committing to a color.
Sound cabinet boxes with an outdated door style do not need a full refacing job. Our CNC equipment cuts new MDF or solid wood doors fit to your current hinge plates, so only the doors need to be replaced.

One bubbled or lifted thermofoil door doesn’t require refacing the entire kitchen. A technician reaches most Wheaton addresses within 48 hours to remove the single failed door and return with its replacement.

Wheaton medical offices, salons, and property management firms also turn to us for refacing built-in cabinetry. Crews arrive before or after posted business hours so client-facing spaces stay open.
Learn More About B2B Cabinet Refacing OptionsA full remodel removes and replaces the cabinet boxes themselves, along with plumbing and electrical work in many cases. Refacing leaves those boxes in place and rebuilds only the doors, drawer fronts, and visible surfaces, which is why the price and timeline are both a fraction of a remodel.
Final pricing depends on linear footage, door count, and finish choice, but most Wheaton kitchens cost roughly half as much to reface as they would to replace with new cabinets. Your in-home consultation ends with a firm number, not an estimated range.
Yes. Cabinets built decades ago rarely match today's standard door and drawer sizes. Since every component is manufactured at our own shop rather than pulled from stock inventory, each door and drawer front is cut to the openings actually present in your kitchen.
No. Refacing is scheduled to run 3-5 business days with the kitchen usable in the evenings during the work. Water, gas, and appliance connections are never disconnected as part of the process.
The written warranty covers the doors, drawer fronts, and finish wrapping against material defects for five years from project completion. We walk through the full terms before you sign off on the estimate.
A kitchen that still functions well but looks tired is exactly the kind of project refacing was built for. Reach out for a same-week in-home visit and a firm price before you decide on anything.
