Stylish Cabinetry Doors
Style refresh, zero teardown:
Refacing is a smart, high-impact update that allows you to keep your existing cabinet boxes and replace only the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. It’s fast, efficient, and transformative.
Custom looks, modern materials:
Choose from a range of door profiles, finishes, and colours – from flat-panel modern to classic shaker. Then complete the look with stylish new hardware for a finish that feels intentional.
Less mess. More wow.
This upgrade delivers the feel of a full renovation – but without the dust, downtime, or cost. It’s a sustainable, time-saving way to bring big energy to your kitchen.
Your kitchen, reimagined:
We make it easy to create a space that’s modern, functional, and totally you – with quality materials and expert finishing at the core of every job.
Cabinet refacing is the ultimate kitchen refresh without the full rip-out. By keeping your cabinet boxes and replacing just the doors and drawer fronts with custom hardwood or MDF, you preserve the bones of your kitchen while giving it a complete facelift. Whether your current fronts are worn or simply outdated, new doors can completely reframe your space – faster, cleaner, and for a fraction of the cost of a full gut.
No demolition. No dust clouds. No waiting months. Most NorthCo refacing projects are wrapped in under three weeks, which means you’ll get a stunning new kitchen while still living in your home comfortably. It’s a smart, stylish route to the kitchen you’ve always wanted – without being out of commission for months.
No demolition. No dust clouds. No living out of boxes for months. Our approach is designed to work with your existing kitchen layout and structure, meaning most projects are completed in just 1–2 weeks. You’ll get a dramatic transformation with minimal downtime – and maximum satisfaction.
Refacing is just the start. Want to add a pantry? Deep pot drawers? A showstopping island? You can do it all. We’ll custom-fit your new doors, pair them with soft-close hinges, elegant new hardware, and even repaint your cabinet boxes in the color of your choice.
Think of it as a smart hybrid between a refresh and a full renovation.
The Cabinet Refacing Process
Once your new doors arrive at our shop, they go through a meticulous multi-step transformation.
Work with our team to choose new doors, finishes, and hardware that elevate your space – without changing the layout.
We’ll guide you through profiles, paint colours, and functional upgrades (like soft-close drawers or added storage).
Once selections are made, we then set your timeline and get to work.
Your chosen MDF or hardwood doors arrive at our shop and are carefully inspected by our team.
We apply a high-quality base primer to ensure proper adhesion for the paint layers ahead – it’s the foundation for a flawless finish.
We spray your chosen colour using high-precision HVLP systems in our dust-controlled booth for a durable, smooth, professional finish.
Each door is carefully inspected, touch-ups made if needed, then left to cure completely before it returns home.
We remove all existing doors, drawer fronts, and hardware with care.
Old components are either left with you or responsibly recycled – you decide.
If you’d like to keep your existing hardware, we can reuse it — though we recommend upgrading for a clean, finished look.
We tape, mask, and drape all exposed areas.
Cabinet boxes and adjacent finishes are protected.
We prep surfaces for smooth, even spray coating.
Cabinet boxes are sprayed on-site using a controlled, low-overspray system.
Clean, smooth finish using the same paint as our in-shop work.
Professional grade application ensures durability and style.
Once cured, doors and drawers are reinstalled and aligned.
Hardware is reinstalled or replaced per your selection.
A final quality check is performed to ensure everything looks as good as it functions.
