Many Buda homes with solid wood or plywood boxes just have dated doors and tired finish. That's the classic refacing scenario, and it costs less than full replacement.
Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing from Buda Custom Cabinets puts new doors, drawer fronts, and finish on your existing boxes. We check box condition first. Particle board that's swelling usually needs full replacement instead, and we'll tell you that honestly rather than push a reface that won't hold up.

Cabinet Refacing and Refinishing FAQs
Is it cheaper to reface cabinets or replace them entirely?
Refacing is usually cheaper when the existing boxes are solid wood or plywood. If boxes are particle board and swelling, replacement often makes more sense long-term.
How do I know if my cabinet boxes are solid wood vs particle board?
Particle board has a grainy, compressed look at the edges and swells when it gets wet. Solid wood or plywood shows consistent wood grain and holds its shape. We check this during the evaluation visit.
How long does refacing take compared to replacement?
Refacing is typically faster since there's no new box construction, just new fronts and finish on what's already there.
