Keep the Layout, Change the Look in Tinley Park, IL
Sometimes a kitchen isn't broken. It's just tired. The cabinets open and close the way they always have, the storage sits where you need it, and the layout makes sense for how you cook, gather, and move through your day. What's wearing on you is the look of it all, and that's the kitchen we love working on at Refined Spaces.
Our cabinet refacing service is built for homeowners who want a change they can see and feel every time they walk into the room, without the gut renovation to get there. You'll get custom, USA-made materials, a design appointment right in your home, and an install that usually wraps up in a few days. Save time, skip the stress, and transform your space on your schedule.
There’s No Need to Reinvent the Room
Refacing means we keep your cabinet boxes exactly where they are and replace what you see and touch, including the doors, drawer fronts, drawer boxes, hinges, glides, and hardware. From there, matching veneer is applied to the exposed sides of your boxes, covering the older structure until the whole kitchen reads as a single, cohesive finish.
This approach works because most outdated kitchens don't have a bad floor plan. The cabinets are where they should be, the drawers open where your hands expect them to, and the path between your sink, stove, and counters still functions well. What's changed is how the surfaces have aged, and that's a problem that refacing solves directly.
A Makeover That Respects Your Routine
For most households, a kitchen isn't optional. Somebody needs to make coffee, pack lunches, or get dinner on the table, often all in the same morning, which is why the timeline on a refacing project carries so much weight. Most installs take about 3 to 5 days from start to finish, and that number holds up because of how the project is structured, not because of shortcuts.
Because your cabinet boxes stay put, there's far less demolition and rebuilding than a full cabinet replacement would require. Nobody is tearing out framing or rerouting plumbing. Our installers are factory-trained and certified, and their work focuses on refreshing the cabinetry you already have rather than dismantling the surrounding room. Curious how this timeline stacks up against a remodel? Our refacing vs. remodeling guide lays out the difference in detail.
Every Detail Has a Place
Everything we install is made in the USA, and every piece is custom to your kitchen rather than pulled from a narrow set of stock options sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Your consultation gives you the chance to sit with each of these choices before anything gets ordered:
Door Styles: Choose from profiles ranging from traditional raised-panel to transitional and fully contemporary flat-panel designs.
Colors and Finishes: Browse painted finishes in a wide range of tones alongside wood-inspired looks that mimic natural grain.
Hardware: Select knobs and pulls that suit your cabinet style and feel steady in your hand every time you open a drawer or door.
Updated Components: Get new drawer boxes, hinges, and glides that replace worn-out mechanisms with hardware made to last.
Seeing all of these choices laid out against your own counters and floors makes the decision far less abstract than scrolling through photos on a screen. It's common for homeowners to leave with a clear direction in mind, even if they came in without one.
Compare Your Options Without Leaving Home
During your in-home consultation, we’ll sit down together, review your current cabinets, and bring physical samples so you can compare them right in the room where they'll eventually live. You don't need to pick out a door style ahead of time, nor do you need a color in mind. That's the entire purpose of the appointment: to give you a low-pressure way to figure out what you like once you can see it next to everything else in your kitchen.
This is also your chance to ask the questions that are harder to answer over the phone or through an online form. Maybe you want to know what happens to your cabinet doors once they're removed, or how much dust and noise to expect during install week, or what a typical day on-site actually looks like. Your consultant can go over the entire process with you from start to finish, so there are no surprises when our crew arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a cabinet refacing project take in Tinley Park?
Most installs take 3 to 5 days from the first day of work to the last. Since your existing cabinet boxes remain in place, the project avoids much of the demolition and reconstruction that would otherwise extend the timeline for a full cabinet replacement.
Which parts of my cabinets are replaced during a refacing project?
We replace the doors, drawer fronts, drawer boxes, hinges, glides, and hardware, which covers everything you touch and see on a regular basis. The matching veneer then covers the visible surfaces of your existing cabinet boxes, so the older structure underneath blends seamlessly with the new components on top.
Can I finance my cabinet refacing project?
Yes! We offer financing options designed to make planning your project more manageable, whether you're covering the cost upfront or spreading it out over time. We can review what's currently available during your estimate and help you figure out which option fits your budget.
How messy is the installation process?
Refacing generates far less dust and debris than a replacement, since there's no demolition involved in removing existing boxes. Our technicians also take steps to protect your floors and surrounding surfaces throughout the project.
