What is included
What Our Cabinet Refacing Service Includes
Every reface we sell includes the core work below. Add-ons like new countertops, backsplash, and under-cabinet lighting are quoted separately so you can see exactly what each piece costs. No bundled pricing games.
New Doors and Drawer Fronts
We build or order new doors and drawer fronts to your exact box dimensions. Choose from shaker, raised panel, and slab profiles in wood veneer or thermofoil. Every door is drilled for your chosen hinge and pull pattern before it ships.
Veneer on Frames and Panels
We bond matching veneer over the face frames, side panels, and toe kicks so the whole cabinet reads as one material. Edges are trimmed and sealed. This is the step that makes a reface look factory-built instead of patched together.
New Hinges and Hardware
Old hinges are the number one cause of cabinet door misalignment. We replace them with adjustable European hinges and install new handles and knobs. You pick the finish: brushed nickel, matte black, brass, or stainless.
Soft-Close Drawer Slides
We swap worn drawer slides for soft-close slides rated for daily kitchen use. Drawers glide shut on their own and stop slamming. This is one of the cheapest upgrades in the whole job and the one customers notice most in daily use.
Caulk, Trim, and Cleanup
We caulk the seams, install any new crown or light rail trim, and clean the work zone. Every door gets a final adjustment on the hinge so reveals are even. You walk the kitchen with us before we pack up.

Service overview
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Bonita Springs FL Explained
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Bonita Springs FL is a remodeling method that keeps your existing cabinet boxes and replaces only the visible surfaces: doors, drawer fronts, side panels, face frames, and toe kicks. We bond a new veneer or rigid thermofoil skin over the frames, then hang new doors on adjustable European hinges. The result is a factory-clean finish with no demolition dust and no dumpster in your driveway. You pick the door style, wood species or thermofoil color, and hardware. We handle the measuring, cutting, and installation.
Most Bonita Springs homeowners call us because their cabinets are structurally fine but look dated. Oak raised-panel doors from the 1990s, yellowed thermofoil, and worn-out hinges are the three most common complaints we hear. Humidity off the Gulf also swells wood and loosens glue over time, so cabinet door misalignment and peeling veneer show up fast in this climate. If you have been searching for cabinet resurfacing near me Bonita Springs, we can usually get an estimator to your kitchen within a few days and have a written number in your hands the same visit.
- Half the Cost of Replacement — Full cabinet replacement in Bonita Springs runs $8,000 to $22,000 for a typical 20-door kitchen. Affordable kitchen cabinet refacing in Bonita Springs FL usually lands between $3,200 and $7,500 for the same footprint. You keep the boxes, skip the demolition, and put the savings into quartz countertops or new stainless steel appliances.
- Done in Days, Not Weeks — A standard reface takes 2 to 4 days on site. We measure and order first, then come back for install. No cabinet boxes come off the wall, so your kitchen stays usable the whole time. You will not be eating out of a cooler for a month while a full remodel drags on.
- No Demolition Dust — Because we are not ripping out boxes, there is no drywall repair, no tile work, and no fine dust settling into your pantry. We lay drop cloths, use a sander with dust collection, and vacuum the work zone at the end of each day. Most customers tell us the house barely smells different when we leave.
- Real Resale Value — Kitchen updates are one of the few renovations that reliably return value in Lee County. A clean reface with new shaker cabinets and modern hardware reads as a full remodel to buyers. Paired with quartz countertops and a subway tile backsplash, it is the fastest way to make a dated kitchen photograph well.
- Same-Day Written Estimate — We measure and price your kitchen in one visit. No waiting a week for a callback, no vague ballpark over the phone. You get a line-item number before we leave your driveway, and it holds for 30 days.
- We Fix What We Find — If we open a cabinet and find water damage behind cabinets or outdated electrical wiring feeding a microwave, we tell you and price the fix. We do not cover a soft face frame with veneer and hope it holds. That is how you get a reface that lasts 15 years instead of 3.
- Clean Job Sites — Drop cloths down, tools staged in one corner, dust collection on the sander. We sweep and vacuum at the end of every day. Our professional cabinet refacing Bonita Springs customers consistently mention how little mess the job made compared to a full remodel.
- Warranty on Labor and Material — We warranty our installation labor for 3 years and pass through the manufacturer warranty on doors and veneer, which runs 5 to 10 years depending on the line. If a hinge sags or a door delaminates, you call us and we come back. No runaround.
The service timeline
Our Cabinet Refacing Process
In-Home Measure
We come to your kitchen, measure every box, check for water damage behind cabinets, and confirm the face frames are square. You pick door style, finish, and hardware from real samples. This visit takes 45 to 60 minutes and you get a written price before we leave.
Order and Prep
Doors, veneer, and trim are ordered to your exact dimensions. Lead time is usually 10 to 15 business days. We call you when the material lands and schedule the install window around your week. You do not need to empty the cabinets, just clear the countertops.
Surface Prep
Day one is prep. We remove old doors and drawer fronts, sand the face frames, and patch any soft spots. If we find mold growth under sink or a loose hinge plate, we fix it now before the new surface goes on. Prep is what separates a reface that lasts from one that peels in two years.
Veneer and Door Install
We bond the new veneer to the face frames and side panels, then hang the new doors on adjustable hinges. A laser level keeps reveals even across the run. We install new drawer fronts, handles, and pulls. This is the loud, busy part of the job and it usually takes 1 to 2 days.
Final Walkthrough
We adjust every door, check every drawer slide, and clean the work zone. You walk the kitchen with us and we fix anything on the spot. Warranty paperwork and care instructions are handed over before we pack the truck. Total on-site time is 2 to 4 days.

Tools and Methods We Use
Laser Level
Sets even door reveals across the full run of cabinets. A laser line catches a sagging box before we hang a single door, so the finished kitchen looks straight from every angle.
Power Drill and Stud Finder
Drives hinge plates and confirms solid backing behind the face frame. We never anchor a hinge into soft wood or a hollow spot. The stud finder also locates framing when we add trim or light rail.
Jigsaw and Circular Saw
Cuts veneer and trim panels to fit around sinks, outlets, and appliance openings. Clean cuts mean tight seams and no visible gaps at the edges of the new surface.
Random Orbit Sander with Dust Collection
Preps the face frames so the veneer bonds flat. Dust collection keeps the fine sanding dust out of your pantry and off your countertops. This is the tool that keeps the job clean.
Caulking Gun and Pry Bar
The pry bar removes old doors and drawer fronts without cracking the frame. The caulking gun seals seams and sets trim so the finished cabinet reads as one solid piece.
Nail Gun
Sets trim, crown, and light rail fast and tight. Hand-nailing leaves dents and uneven depth. The nail gun drives every fastener to the same depth for a clean finish line.
NARI Certified Remodeler Standards
We follow NARI remodeling standards for surface prep, bonding, and finish work. That means we do not veneer over a soft frame or skip the sanding step. The standard is what keeps a reface looking new after five humid Florida summers.
European Hinge Adjustment
Every door is hung on adjustable European hinges and tuned on site. We set the reveal, the depth, and the side gap so doors close flush and stay flush. If a door sags later, a single screw adjusts it back.
Thermofoil and Rigid Veneer Bonding
We bond thermofoil and rigid veneer with the adhesive system specified for each material. Florida humidity is hard on cheap glue. Using the right adhesive for the substrate is what stops peeling and bubbling at the edges.
Code-Correct Electrical Checks
Before we close up a cabinet run, we check any wiring feeding a microwave, disposal, or under-cabinet light. Outdated electrical wiring gets flagged and corrected to Florida code. We are a Florida State Certified Building Contractor, so we can pull the right permits when the job needs them.

How Cabinet Refacing Runs in Bonita Springs
Bonita Springs kitchens have a specific set of conditions that shape how we reface. Gulf humidity is the big one. Wood swells and contracts through the wet season, which is why we use moisture-rated adhesives and seal every veneer edge. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s off Bonita Beach Road often have oak raised-panel doors and original hinges, and those are the kitchens where refacing delivers the biggest visual jump. Newer builds in Pelican Landing and Bonita Bay tend to have thermofoil doors that yellow and peel after 15 years of sun through a west-facing window. We also watch for water damage behind cabinets around the sink and dishwasher, because a slow drip in this climate turns into mold fast. Lee County permit rules apply to any electrical or plumbing change we make during the reface, and we handle that paperwork. If you need a kitchen cabinet refacing contractor Bonita Springs open now, call us and we will get a measure on the calendar.
Pelican Landing
Mostly 1990s and 2000s builds with oak and thermofoil doors. West-facing kitchens here fade fast, so we recommend thermofoil with UV-stable finish.
Bonita Bay
Larger kitchens with 30-plus doors. Many have original raised-panel oak. Refacing here delivers the biggest visual change for the money.
Spanish Wells
Mix of older ranch homes and updated villas. We often find water damage behind cabinets near the sink in the older units.
Bonita Beach Road Corridor
1980s construction with original cabinet boxes. The boxes are usually solid; the doors and hinges are what need replacing.
Year-round Gulf humidity and salt air
Wood swells and glue softens faster here than inland. We use moisture-rated adhesive and seal every veneer edge so the new surface does not peel at the corners.
Strong afternoon sun through west-facing windows
UV fades and yellows thermofoil over time. We steer customers toward UV-stable finishes on any cabinet run that faces west.
Older homes with original plumbing and wiring
A reface sometimes uncovers outdated plumbing fixtures or wiring behind the cabinets. We flag it, price the fix, and correct it to Florida code before closing up the run.
Lee County permit requirements
Any electrical or plumbing change during a reface needs a permit. We pull it and schedule the inspection so you are not left holding an open permit at resale.
Before and after
What a successful service visit changes.
Oak Kitchen in Pelican Landing
Before
A 1998 kitchen with honey oak raised-panel doors, worn brass hardware, and two sagging hinges on the upper cabinets. The boxes were square and dry, but the finish dated the whole room and the doors caught on each other every time they closed.
After
We refaced 24 doors and drawer fronts in white shaker thermofoil, added soft-close slides, and installed matte black pulls. Install took three days. The kitchen now reads as a full remodel, and the doors close flush with even reveals across the run.
Maintenance: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive pads on thermofoil. Check hinge screws once a year and tighten if needed. No wax, no oil, no refinishing.
Water-Damaged Sink Base in Spanish Wells
Before
A slow leak under the sink had softened the face frame and grown mold on the cabinet floor. The homeowner thought the whole cabinet run needed replacing. The rest of the boxes were dry and solid.
After
We cut out the soft frame section, treated the mold, let it dry, and rebuilt the frame before refacing. New doors, veneer, and hardware went on across the full run. Total job ran four days and cost thousands less than replacement.
Maintenance: Check under the sink every few months for drips. Fix any leak immediately. Keep the cabinet floor dry and run the disposal regularly to avoid standing water.
Dated Thermofoil in Bonita Bay
Before
A 30-door kitchen with yellowed thermofoil doors and peeling edges on the upper cabinets facing west. The layout worked, the boxes were solid, but the finish looked 20 years old and the drawer slides were grinding.
After
We refaced all 30 doors and drawer fronts in a slab profile with UV-stable finish, replaced every hinge and slide, and added pull-out shelves in two base cabinets. Install ran four days. The kitchen photographs like new construction.
Maintenance: Keep west-facing doors out of direct afternoon sun where possible with blinds. Clean with mild soap. Soft-close slides need no lubrication. Call us if any door needs a hinge adjustment.
Problems we solve
Problems Budget Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Bonita Springs FL Solves
Refacing is not just cosmetic. It fixes the specific problems that make a Bonita Springs kitchen feel old, dark, and hard to use. Here are the ones we see most.
Cabinet doors that will not stay aligned
Sagging doors scrape the frame, catch on each other, and make the whole kitchen feel broken even when the boxes are fine. It gets worse every humid month. We replace the worn hinges with adjustable European hinges and re-hang every door square. A laser level sets the reveals even across the run. The doors close clean and stay that way because the new hinge plates hold their adjustment.
Water damage behind cabinets from an old leak
A slow drip under the sink softens the face frame and grows mold. If you veneer over it, the new surface bubbles and peels within a year. We probe the frame during the measure and again during prep. Soft wood gets cut out and replaced before any veneer goes on. If we find mold growth under sink, we treat it, let it dry, and then reface. The fix is priced upfront, not sprung on you mid-job.
Insufficient storage space in a dated layout
Deep single shelves waste vertical space, and you end up stacking pots on top of each other. The kitchen feels cramped even when it is not. We add pull-out shelves, a lazy Susan, and drawer dividers during the reface. Because we are already working inside the boxes, adding an organizer costs a fraction of what it would as a standalone job.
Outdated oak and yellowed thermofoil
Dated doors drag down the whole room. Buyers notice it in photos, and you notice it every morning. Painting over oak rarely hides the grain. New doors and veneer cover the old finish completely. No grain bleed, no brush marks. You pick a modern shaker or slab profile and a finish that matches your countertops, and the kitchen reads as new.
Pricing and expectations
Cabinet Refacing Cost in Bonita Springs
$3,200 - $7,500 depending on door count, material, and hardware
Typical 2026 pricing for cabinet resurfacing Bonita Springs FL runs $3,200 to $7,500 for a standard kitchen. The low end covers a 15-door kitchen with thermofoil doors and basic hardware. The high end covers a 30-door kitchen with wood veneer, new soft-close slides, and premium pulls. We measure, price, and hand you a written number on the first visit. No phone ballparks, no surprise line items after the job starts.
You keep the strongest part of your kitchen, the boxes, and replace only what wears out. That is why refacing costs roughly half of full replacement while delivering the same visual result. The savings usually cover new countertops or a new appliance.
Door count and size
Door count is the biggest driver. A 15-door kitchen costs roughly half of a 30-door kitchen. Oversized doors and glass-front inserts add material and labor because they need custom sizing and careful handling.
Door material and finish
Thermofoil is the most affordable and the most humidity-resistant. Wood veneer costs more and looks richer. Rigid thermofoil sits in the middle. Your choice moves the total by $800 to $2,500 on a typical job.
Hardware and slides
Basic knobs and standard hinges are included. Soft-close slides, premium pulls, and specialty organizers add cost. Soft-close slides on every drawer usually adds $400 to $900 and is the upgrade customers appreciate most.
Repairs found during prep
Water damage behind cabinets, a soft face frame, or mold growth under sink needs repair before we reface. We price it upfront after the measure. Skipping the repair means the new veneer fails, so we do not skip it.
Trim and extras
Crown molding, light rail, and toe kick covers add finish detail. Under-cabinet lighting and new backsplash tile are quoted separately. These are optional and we price each one so you can pick what fits your budget.

Customer stories
What Bonita Springs Customers Say
Maria R.Homeowner, Pelican Landing
Our 1998 oak cabinets were solid but ugly. The crew refaced 24 doors and drawers in three days and the kitchen looks brand new. They found a soft spot under the sink from an old leak, fixed it, and did not try to upsell us into a full remodel. Price came in exactly where the estimate said. Would use them again.
Dave K.Homeowner, Bonita Bay
We got three quotes for cabinet refacing near me Bonita Springs and these guys were the only ones who actually measured and wrote a real number on the first visit. Install was clean, they vacuumed every day, and the new shaker doors line up perfectly. Two months in, not one hinge has sagged.
Angela T.Homeowner, North Naples
I was worried refacing would look cheap. It does not. The thermofoil finish is smooth and the new pulls make the whole kitchen read as a remodel. They finished in two and a half days and left the house cleaner than they found it. My neighbor already booked them for her kitchen.
