Painting buries the dated shape under color and leaves it visible in every light. ### Over 200 Door and Finish Combinations Choose from 200+ thermofoil colors, 3D laminate woodgrains, and door profiles spanning traditional to modern. Painted cabinets are limited to the door shape you already have and one new color on top. ### Wrapped Up in 3-5 Business Days with No Curing Window Refacing finishes in 3-5 business days and the surfaces are ready for use the moment the crew leaves. A paint job runs 5-7 days plus curing, which Wood Dale's humid Midwest summers stretch further. ### 30-50% Below Replacement, Years Beyond Paint Cabinet refacing typically costs 30-50% less than new cabinet installation. Painted finishes commonly need touch-ups around handles and drawer edges within a few years, while thermofoil and 3D laminate hold longer. ### Built 15 Minutes from Wood Dale Doors, drawer fronts, and side panels are built at our West Chicago shop and cut to the exact openings of your existing cabinets. A painter just works around the same failing doors already hanging in your kitchen. ## Price Your Wood Dale Refacing Before You Price a Paint Job Send a few cabinet photos for a feasibility note and early price range.

Around the dishwasher, under the sink, and along the range, that sealed barrier matters: those are the spots where Wood Dale homeowners most often report paint failure on previously painted cabinets. Color choice runs deeper than a paint deck too. Crisp whites, warm oak and walnut woodgrains, gray washes, and matte slab finishes are all on the table. Samples are reviewed in your own kitchen lighting during the free consultation, against your countertops, backsplash, and floor.

Painted cabinets typically wear at the handles and drawer edges within a few years, and heavy Wood Dale kitchen use accelerates that. Refacing replaces the door surface with a heat-pressed thermofoil or 3D laminate skin that resists chipping, fading, and moisture far beyond what paint delivers. ### Will refacing cover the dents, gouges, and dated door profiles that painting only highlights? **Yes.** Fresh paint actually emphasizes dents and routed door details once light hits them evenly. Refacing replaces the entire visible door and drawer front with new components built at our West Chicago shop, so dings, scratches, and outdated raised-panel shapes leave the kitchen rather than getting masked. ### How does refacing handle the moisture and temperature swings in a Wood Dale kitchen? Humid summers, dry forced-air winters, and daily cooking moisture make Wood Dale homes hard on painted finishes, which crack along door seams or peel near the sink and dishwasher. Thermofoil and 3D laminate are heat-pressed and edge-sealed, so they hold up to those swings. ### My contractor offered to spray-paint the cabinets. Why pay more for refacing? Spray equipment improves the finish, but the paint itself still chips at the handles, wears thin along drawer edges, and yellows near sunny windows. Refacing replaces the door surface with a heat-pressed laminate skin on an MDF core, a different category of finish entirely. ### Can refacing handle the oak cabinets common in 1970s and 1980s Wood Dale homes? **Yes.** Wood Dale's older neighborhoods are full of solid oak boxes with heavy raised-panel doors. Painting those tends to fail because the deep grain telegraphs through paint within a year or two. Refacing keeps the oak boxes and swaps the doors and fronts for smooth MDF components wrapped in your chosen finish.
