If your kitchen layout still works but the finishes feel outdated, cabinet refacing is one of the smartest remodeling investments you can make. At TWS Remodeling, we’ve perfected our “Beyond Kitchen Refacing” system to deliver a fresh, modern look without the cost and mess of a full renovation. With our Minnesota kitchen refacing services, you can transform your space in just days.

With decades of experience across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding metro, we’re your trusted partner for kitchen updates, window installation, and remodeling services.

Why Choose Kitchen Refacing Over Full Replacement

Many homeowners assume they must fully gut and rebuild their kitchen to get the style they want. But refacing offers a compelling alternative:

  • You retain your existing cabinet boxes but replace the doors, drawer fronts, veneers, and hardware
  • Refacing is faster, often taking only 3–5 days (versus weeks or months for full kitchen remodels)
  • You save on labor and materials — no structural changes, no tearing out walls or plumbing
  • You get a fresh, modern aesthetic — new cabinet styles, finishes, hardware, and trim

This method is ideal when your layout, plumbing, and countertops are still functional — but the look needs renewal.

Our Kitchen Refacing Process & Services

We’ve refined our approach over thousands of projects to make refacing efficient and high quality. Our services include:

  1. Consultation & Design
    We start with an in-home visit to understand your vision, take precise measurements, and guide material & finish selections.
  2. Remove Doors & Drawer Fronts
    The existing cabinet boxes remain, and we detach doors, drawers, and hardware.
  3. Apply Veneers & Edge Bands
    We cover cabinet box exteriors with matching veneers or trim to create a seamless finish.
  4. Install New Doors, Drawer Fronts & Hardware
    Choose from styles and finishes that suit your taste — shaker, slab, textured, painted, stained, or high-gloss.
  5. Add Trim, Molding & Accessories
    Optional enhancements like crown molding, toe kicks, glass doors, or under-cabinet lighting complete the look.
  6. Final Adjustments & Clean-Up
    We fine-tune hinge alignment, close gaps, and leave your kitchen ready for everyday use.

The result: a fully refreshed kitchen, often within a single workweek.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is refacing right if I want new countertops or layout changes?
Refacing works best when the existing layout and structure are sound. If you plan major layout changes or move plumbing, a full remodel might be necessary.

How long does a kitchen refacing project take?
Typically 3–5 business days, depending on the size of your kitchen and complexity of design.

Will the new doors match the old boxes exactly?
We use high-quality veneers and trim to ensure the final appearance is seamless and cohesive.

Can I reface only part of my kitchen?
Yes. Many homeowners reface an island, lower cabinets, or a single wall as a refresh.

What’s the cost compared to full replacement?
Refacing tends to run significantly lower — for example, full cabinet replacement could double or triple the investment—benchmarks suggest refacing averages around $15,000 for moderate kitchens. The Home Depot
