Serving Camp Swift and nearby communities.
Plenty of homes around Camp Swift have cabinet boxes that are still structurally sound, just dated doors and tired finish. Camp Swift Custom Cabinets handles refacing and refinishing for exactly that situation: new doors, drawer fronts, and finish applied to the existing boxes instead of a full teardown.
This route costs less than full replacement when the boxes are solid, and it skips the demolition and rebuild time a full kitchen remodel requires. The decision point is simple: if the boxes are square and sound, refacing gets you a new look without the full-replacement price tag.

Materials
Materials and Methods for Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing
A refaced box has to look like a new build even though the frame underneath is original, which means the veneer and finish need to bond cleanly and hold color through Central Texas humidity swings.
Veneer Sheets
Thin wood layers used to refresh existing cabinet surfaces without replacing the whole box.
Replacement Cabinet Doors
New doors designed to modernize the cabinet's appearance while keeping the original frame.
Wood Fillers
Material used to repair minor imperfections before refinishing so the new finish goes on smooth.
Stain Finishes
Stains applied to achieve a renewed wood tone and texture that matches current style trends.
Hardware Upgrades
Updated handles and knobs chosen to complete the new look.
Protective Topcoat
A sealant applied to protect the refinished surface from wear and humidity exposure.

Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing FAQs
How much does cabinet refacing cost in Camp Swift?
Most projects run $1,500 to $10,000 depending on scope, from a simple refinish up to a full reface with hardware upgrades.
How long does cabinet refacing take?
Standard refacing typically wraps in about a week, much faster than a full replacement since the boxes stay in place.
Do I need a permit for cabinet refacing?
Refacing doesn't touch plumbing, electrical, or structure, so it falls outside typical permit requirements.
Is DIY cabinet refacing a good idea?
Fine for small touch-ups like hardware swaps or light staining. Veneer application and door alignment across a full kitchen are where DIY results usually fall short.
Is it cheaper to reface or replace cabinets?
Refacing is almost always cheaper when the existing boxes are structurally sound. Full replacement makes more sense if the boxes are damaged or warped.
What affects cabinet refacing pricing?
Door count, finish type, hardware upgrades, and the condition of your existing boxes.
What's typically included in a cabinet refacing project?
New door and drawer fronts, surface veneer or refinish, hardware, and topcoat. Wood filler repairs are included when boxes need minor fixes.
How do I prepare for a cabinet refacing project?
Clear cabinet contents before the crew arrives and decide whether you're keeping existing hardware or upgrading it.
