Cabinet refacing covers two different jobs that often get lumped together. Refacing means keeping your existing cabinet boxes in place and replacing the doors, drawer fronts, and hinges, then covering exposed sides with matching veneer or laminate. Full installation means tearing out the old boxes and putting in new cabinetry from scratch, which costs more but lets you change the layout, add storage, or fix boxes that are out of square or water damaged. The 8 businesses in this Middletown category handle one or both, and the right choice depends on whether your existing boxes are structurally sound.
What to check before you hire
Ask whether the crew that measures your kitchen is the same crew that installs it, since a lot of fit problems trace back to a handoff between a sales rep and a separate install team. Get a firm timeline in writing (refacing usually runs a few days, full installs run one to three weeks depending on layout changes), and confirm who handles plumbing and electrical disconnects if you're moving a sink or range. Ask to see a completed job in person if possible, not just photos, so you can check door alignment, drawer glide quality, and how seams and end panels were finished.
