If your layout works and your cabinet boxes are solid, you may not need new cabinets at all. Cabinet refacing replaces the doors, drawer fronts, end panels, and hardware while keeping your existing boxes in place, so a Tampa kitchen gets a completely new look without tearing out countertops, plumbing, or flooring.
We'll tell you honestly at the free in-home consultation whether your cabinets are good candidates. If they aren't, we'll explain why and show you what a full replacement would involve instead.
Refacing is a strong fit in many homes in Westchase, New Tampa communities like Tampa Palms and Cross Creek, and Carrollwood. These houses often have cabinet boxes that are still square and solid, a layout the family is happy with, and sometimes countertops that were replaced in the last several years. Refacing keeps all of that in place and changes everything you see, often turning a dated oak or builder-white kitchen into a crisp painted shaker or a warm wood-veneer look.
Refacing only makes sense over sound boxes. If the sink base has swollen particleboard, cabinets have water damage, or the boxes took on water during a storm surge, new doors won't fix the problem. Many original kitchens in older South Tampa and Seminole Heights homes have also been patched over the decades and benefit more from a full rebuild. And if you want to change the layout, move appliances, or add a large island, new custom kitchen cabinets are usually the better investment.
New doors and drawer fronts are finished on every surface, including edges and backs, so humidity can't get in. We can also refinish the interior of the boxes and upgrade to soft-close hinges at the same time. If you're adding a few new cabinets, such as a pantry tower or an end-of-run cabinet, we'll build them to match the refaced doors. For a deeper comparison, read our refacing vs. replacement guide.
It is if your cabinet boxes are square, solid, and free of water damage, and you're happy with the layout. We'll inspect them at your free in-home consultation and give you an honest recommendation.
Small additions, such as a pantry tower or an extra cabinet, can be built to match your new doors. If you want to significantly change the layout or island, a full replacement is usually the better route.
It depends on the size of the space, the materials and finish you choose, and the condition of what's there now. We confirm pricing after a free in-home measurement in Tampa, not over the phone, and your quote spells out exactly what's included.
