We Gave This Buffalo Homeowner a Modern Kitchen Cabinet Facelift

June 10, 2024

A Buffalo homeowner, Wanda, wanted to update her kitchen. Her cabinets were in great shape and provided the space she needed, but the dark color made her feel claustrophobic. One of her best friends, who'd had some work done recently on her own cabinets, mentioned Cabinet Reface Direct to her, stating that the cost of having her cabinets refaced was affordable and would accomplish what Wanda wanted to accomplish.


Wanda trusted her friend, but she visited the Cabinet Reface Direct website to see some of their remarkable work for herself. She glanced at a couple of blogs, looked at before and after photos of some recent jobs, and began exploring their many options for custom home improvement. It wasn't long before she knew her friend had given her a great recommendation.

She called Cabinet Reface Direct of Buffalo and spoke to a representative who listened to her needs, then scheduled a convenient day for a CRD designer to meet with her. Wanda set the appointment for the next day, eager to get started.

Brian, a Cabinet Reface Designer with extensive experience in helping customers realize their dream bathrooms and kitchens, showed up for the free in-home price quote and consultation ready to add another happy client to the list.

Wanda showed him the kitchen. He noted that the cabinets were in good shape and asked if the space met her needs. Wanda said the kitchen was okay, but the dark color was starting to make her feel a little claustrophobic. She wanted something brighter that would wake her up in the morning. She also wanted the cabinets to look less "outdated."

Since her cabinets satisfied her needs and were in good condition, Brian told her all she really needed was a new color and style. He suggested changing the cabinets to white and replacing the raised panel cabinets with a Shaker style. He said she could even keep the hardware she had because it would work well with what he was suggesting. After showing her samples, she agreed with his suggestion and scheduled the earliest day available to start the job.

Brian returned to do the job on the scheduled day, finding Wanda excited and eager to see what her kitchen would look like after the transformation. Brian explained that refacing cabinets could often take three or four days, depending on the size of the job, but he told Wanda he'd likely be able to have her kitchen finished that day if she didn't have anywhere to be.


He got to work immediately, removing all of the old cabinet components to prep the surfaces. As he worked, he was careful to care for the surrounding area. About an hour into the job, another Cabinet Reface Designer named Jim showed up to help. With two of them working, Wanda's kitchen transformation took shape quicker than expected.

She couldn't have been more pleased with the results. Her kitchen was exactly what she'd been hoping for. She thanked the CRD guys and assured them she would recommend their services to family and friends. She also promised to leave a glowing review with Google so other people could enjoy the same experience as her.
