Our Affordable Cabinet Refacing Gave This Buffalo Couple a New Face for Their Kitchen

October 10, 2023

A couple in Buffalo, New York, Jim and Janet S., decided they could finally devote attention to making their home look more updated. The couple had four children, ages 8, 10, 13, and 15, and always put off remodeling the home when the kids were younger. Now, however, with the kids out of the toddler stage, the time seemed right.

The couple knew their kitchen cabinets were going to be the priority. They wanted an affordable way to update their kitchen without extensive remodeling or renovation. They knew it would be a mess to have their cabinets torn out, and with four kids running around, they couldn't be without the kitchen for any length of time.


Jim S. was speaking to some co-workers one day, and one of them mentioned cabinet refacing, which he told Jim was a great solution for making the cabinets in your home look great without spending a lot of money or having the inconvenience of gut renovation. Jim found out that he could have new cabinets in just two to five days instead of the several weeks it would take to have a full renovation done.

Cabinet refacing can refresh the look of a kitchen without the disruption of a full cabinet replacement.

Jim went to Google and searched for local cabinet refacing and found Cabinet Reface Direct of Buffalo in the top results. He called and spoke to a friendly representative who assured him they could help. The representative scheduled Jim and his wife for a free consultation.

John, a Cabinet Reface Direct designer, showed up for the consultation, ready to help the couple decide what they were looking for. He listened to their needs and offered some suggestions.

The couple decided on a raised panel style in dark brown with smaller, more modern-looking hardware.

John returned a week later to do the job. Over two days, John removed the old cabinet facings and prepared the surfaces for new doors and hardware. By the time he finished, the cabinets were like new. The end results were exactly what Jim and Janet had envisioned during the initial consultation with John.

The couple couldn't believe how beautiful their kitchen looked. As far as they were concerned, the refaced cabinets were just as good as having a full renovation. With the lower cost and less intrusive process of cabinet refacing, they couldn't understand why anybody would choose to replace perfectly good cabinets instead of refacing them.

Jim and Janet thanked John for a job well done. They promised to recommend his work and Cabinet Reface of Buffalo to anyone they knew who was looking for new cabinets.
