Cabinet refacing & replacement
Kitchen cabinets in Prescott: reface, paint or replace?
If your cabinet boxes are solid and the layout works, refacing or painting gives you a new-looking kitchen in days for far less than replacement. If the boxes are swelling, sagging or in the wrong places, replace them. Book a free in-home estimate and get prices on all three.

Your three options
| Option | What it includes | Typical time |
|---|---|---|
| Paint | Same doors and boxes, professionally cleaned, primed and sprayed. New hinges and pulls. | Days |
| Reface | New doors, drawer fronts and veneer over the existing boxes. Add soft-close and organizers. | About a week |
| Replace | New boxes and doors. The chance to change sizes, add an island or pantry, and fix the layout. | Weeks plus lead time |
Durations are typical on-site time. New cabinets usually have a manufacturer lead time before installation.
Cabinet details that matter in the high desert
- Dry air moves wood. Solid-wood doors can shrink and show gaps in winter. Let cabinets acclimate in the house before install and ask about five-piece doors with stable center panels.
- Plywood boxes resist moisture near the sink and dishwasher better than particleboard. It is the upgrade worth paying for.
- Painted cabinets show wear at the handles first. A catalyzed or conversion-varnish finish lasts far longer than wall paint.
- Plan storage before style: deep drawers for pots, a pull-out for trash and recycling, and a tall pantry if you have the wall.
Common questions
How do I know if my cabinets can be refaced?
Open the sink base. If the floor of the cabinet is firm and dry and the face frames are straight, refacing is usually an option. Soft, swollen or delaminating boxes mean replacement.
What cabinet style is popular in Prescott right now?
Shaker doors in painted finishes and natural wood tones are the most common requests we hear about, often with a contrasting island color. Your contractor can show options from local jobs.
