Cabinet Refacing
Cabinet refacing in Marietta, Roswell, and greater Atlanta. New doors, drawer fronts, and veneers at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
Cabinet refacing is one of the most cost-effective ways to transform a kitchen without the expense, mess, and timeline of a full remodel. Catalino Quality Construction provides professional cabinet refacing throughout Marietta, Roswell, Kennesaw, and the greater Atlanta area, giving kitchens a fresh, modern appearance while keeping the existing cabinet framework intact.
Our Cabinet Refacing Process
Refacing replaces the visible surfaces of your cabinets — doors, drawer fronts, hardware, and exposed end panels — while reusing the structural boxes already mounted to your walls. Our process begins with an in-home measurement and consultation, where Robert Catalino reviews door styles, wood species, finishes, and hardware options with you. Once selections are made, doors and drawer fronts are ordered to exact specifications.
When materials arrive, our crew removes the old doors, drawers, and hardware. Cabinet box exteriors are cleaned, sanded as needed, and covered with matching wood veneer or laminate. New doors and drawer fronts are hung with adjustable European hinges (typically soft-close), and new hardware is installed. The result reads as a completely new kitchen — without tearing out the existing layout.
Door Styles, Wood Species, and Upgrades
We work with a wide range of door styles to match any design direction. Classic shaker, raised-panel, beaded inset, and traditional five-piece doors suit Marietta and Roswell's many craftsman, ranch, and traditional homes. Slab and flat-panel doors fit modern and transitional kitchens. Wood options include maple, cherry, oak, and birch in painted, stained, or natural finishes — plus durable thermofoil and laminate fronts that hold up well in high-use kitchens.
Refacing is also an ideal time to add functional upgrades the original cabinets lacked: soft-close hinges and drawer glides, pull-out shelves and trash bins, lazy Susans, interior drawer dividers, and under-cabinet lighting. Pairing refaced cabinets with a new countertop or updated flooring is a common way to complete the kitchen transformation in a single project window.
Refacing vs. Full Cabinet Replacement
Refacing is the right choice when your existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the kitchen layout still works for how you cook and entertain. It's typically 40–60% less expensive than full replacement, completes in days rather than weeks, and reduces waste by keeping serviceable cabinetry out of the landfill.
Full cabinet replacement makes more sense when boxes are water-damaged, particleboard is failing, you want to change the kitchen layout, or you're adding an island and reconfiguring storage. During the estimate, we evaluate the existing cabinetry honestly and tell you which approach makes the most sense for your home and budget. If a full kitchen remodel is the better answer, we can handle that too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cabinet refacing cost compared to full replacement?
Cabinet refacing typically costs 40–60% less than a full cabinet replacement because the existing boxes stay in place — you're only paying for new doors, drawer fronts, veneer, and hardware rather than demolition, disposal, and all-new cabinetry. Exact pricing depends on the number of cabinets, door style, and wood species. We provide a detailed written estimate after measuring your kitchen.
How long does a cabinet refacing project take?
Most kitchen refacing projects in the Marietta and Roswell area are completed in three to five working days once materials arrive on site. That's substantially faster than a full cabinet replacement, which typically runs two to four weeks. Doors and drawer fronts are ordered to spec ahead of time, then installed along with veneer and hardware in one continuous run.
Will my kitchen be unusable during the project?
Your sink, appliances, and counters stay in place the entire time. Cabinet boxes remain installed and functional during the day, so you can still access dishes and food. We remove old doors and drawer fronts at the start, apply veneer to box exteriors, then hang the new doors and drawers. Most clients keep using their kitchen each evening with only minor disruption.
Can you reface any kitchen cabinets?
Refacing works well on cabinet boxes that are structurally sound — meaning the frames are square, the boxes aren't water-damaged, and the existing layout still works for how you use the kitchen. If boxes are warped, swollen from a leak, or particleboard is crumbling, replacement is the better investment. We inspect the existing cabinetry during the estimate and tell you honestly which approach makes sense.
