Cabinet Refacing in Madera, CA

Cabinet refacing in Madera makes its strongest financial case on the larger kitchens common out toward the Madera Ranchos and on the county's rural acreage properties. Refacing is priced largely by linear footage and door count, and so is replacement, but the gap between the two widens as the kitchen gets bigger. On a large rural kitchen that difference becomes substantial.

Where refacing pays off most in Madera County

Independent cost guides generally put refacing at roughly 30 to 50 percent less than replacing comparable custom or semi custom cabinetry. On a compact kitchen that percentage represents a useful saving. On a large Madera Ranchos kitchen with a long perimeter run and an island, the same percentage represents a considerably larger number, which is why rural Madera clients who were expecting to replace often end up refacing once they see both quotes side by side. The condition, as always, is that the boxes have to be worth keeping.

The rural water situation is the local factor that most often disqualifies a reface here. Properties on well water outside the city service area draw water with high mineral content and sometimes iron, and where a sink base has taken years of slow drips from a hard water supply, the cabinet bottom is frequently worse than the homeowner realizes. We pull everything out from under the sink and check the deck properly rather than glancing at the front edge, because a reface built onto a compromised sink base is a callback waiting to happen.

How we reface in Madera

New doors and drawer fronts built to your existing openings, matching veneer on the face frames and exposed end panels, and completely new soft close hinges and full extension undermount glides throughout. On the larger kitchens common in this area we pay particular attention to island and peninsula end panels, since those exposed surfaces carry a lot of the visual weight and skipping them is what makes a reface look like a reface.
