Not every kitchen needs a gut job. If the boxes are square and the layout works, refacing swaps new doors, drawer fronts, and a fresh finish onto cabinets you already have, at a fraction of full replacement cost. Liberty Hill Custom Cabinets handles refacing and refinishing for Liberty Hill homeowners who want an updated look without tearing out working cabinetry.
Most calls come from owners of older homes in Burnet County or established Liberty Hill lots who inherited oak or laminate cabinets that have held up structurally but look dated. We inspect the boxes first, then build new doors, veneer the exposed box faces, and apply a finish rated to handle daily kitchen use through our humid summers and dry winters.

Materials
Materials and methods for Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing
Refacing lives or dies on how well the new surfaces bond and hold up to Central Texas humidity swings, so we're particular about the materials.

Veneer Sheets
Thin wood layers used to refresh existing cabinet surfaces, matched to your chosen door species for a smooth look.

Replacement Cabinet Doors
New doors designed to modernize the cabinet's appearance without replacing the box underneath.

Wood Fillers
Material used to repair minor imperfections before refinishing, so the final coat lays smooth.

Stain Finishes
Stains applied to achieve a renewed wood tone that still reads as real wood grain.

Hardware Upgrades
Updated handles and knobs chosen to complete the new look and often hide old drill holes.

Protective Topcoat
A sealant applied to protect the refinished surface from kitchen moisture and daily wear.

Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing FAQs
Can I just reface my existing cabinets instead of replacing them?
If the boxes are structurally sound and square. We inspect them first to confirm refacing is a good fit before quoting.
How much does cabinet refacing cost compared to full replacement?
Refacing generally runs 40-60% less than full replacement since the boxes aren't rebuilt, only the doors, fronts, and visible surfaces.
How long does refacing take?
Most refacing jobs run 2-3 weeks from material selection to finished install, faster than a full cabinet rebuild.
Will the new doors match my existing kitchen trim?
We select door profiles and finishes to coordinate with your kitchen's existing style, and can match stain tones closely.
Do I need a permit for cabinet refacing?
Standard refacing doesn't require a permit since no plumbing, electrical, or structural work is involved.
What if my cabinet boxes have water damage?
We flag damaged boxes during inspection. Minor damage can be repaired with wood filler, but badly warped boxes may need replacement instead of refacing.
