Is refacing more durable than painting?

Paint sits on the surface and can chip at the edges. Rigid thermofoil is bonded to the door under a vacuum press, which gives a factory-grade finish that holds up to daily use.

Is financing available?

Yes, financing is available. We go over the options with you during the consultation.

Can you match custom cabinet sizes?

Yes. We CNC-cut every door in-house, so we can make any size and any profile your cabinets need, including Shaker and raised panel.

What warranty do I get?

Your refacing project carries a 5-year warranty.

Can I get a pre-estimate from photos?

Yes. Send photos of your kitchen and we will give you a pre-estimate before the in-home consultation, so you know what to expect when we arrive.

What Does Cabinet Refacing in Buffalo Grove Involve?

Much of Buffalo Grove was built after the village incorporated in 1958, and many of those kitchens still have sound cabinet boxes. We keep the boxes, replace the doors and drawer fronts, then vacuum-press the same rigid thermofoil onto the face frames, so the color and finish match from door to frame.

Our Process

Cabinet Refacing in Buffalo Grove: Before and After

Refacing changes how a kitchen looks without changing how it is laid out. The cabinet boxes, countertops and plumbing stay in place, while new doors, drawer fronts and matching face frames give the whole kitchen a fresh finish. Here is what that change looks like.

What Buffalo Grove Homeowners Say About Our Refacing

A new kitchen finish is a big decision, and it helps to hear from people who have been through it. Here is what a Kitchen Cabinet Guys customer says about the schedule, the price and the result.

Cabinet Guys came in a scheduled time, offered extremely compatible market price, and finished the project in 3 days. I’ve been getting so many compliments on my kitchen since then. I’ll be referring all of my friends.
Gunay Shafa Maher
Recently got my kitchen updated. They were oak and got it refaced to white. Andrei was very knowledgeable and he did a great job and the results were top notch. Love our new kitchen. Most importantly there was no harsh chemicals or solvents used unlike in spray painting, which ensured there wasn’t any VOC to deal with.
Dheepak Shunmugavel
These guys used vinyl laminate over my old laundry room cabinet doors. It came out awesome. Small project but saved a lot of money. They laminated the door front and I matched and painted the boxes. Interesting process. Looks perfect. Very responsive and professional. Thinking about doing the whole kitchen now.

Which Materials and Door Styles Can You Choose?

Your Buffalo Grove doors are finished in rigid thermofoil, also called 3D laminate: a durable vinyl layer that wraps the face and edges of an MDF door. We heat it, and a vacuum press pulls it tight, so you get a smooth, bonded, factory-grade finish. Your face frames get the same material, so doors and frames match.

Over 200 designs are available, from solid colors to wood grains and textured finishes, in Shaker, raised panel or custom profiles. At the consultation you hold the samples against your own countertops and floors before you decide.
