The most overlooked kitchen upgrade — the inside. Pull-out shelves, soft-close drawers, lazy Susans, and pantry organizers that make your kitchen work as good as it looks.
Storage upgrades solve the day-to-day frustrations that a fresh coat of paint or new doors alone can't fix.
These are the upgrades that make the biggest difference in how your kitchen actually functions day to day.
Convert fixed shelves into full-extension roll-out trays. Everything in the cabinet becomes reachable — no more digging in the back of a dark cabinet.
Retrofit soft-close hinges to existing doors and upgrade drawer slides. Quieter, gentler, and much better feeling than slamming doors and drawers.
Built-in pull-out trash and recycling cabinet keeps bins hidden, accessible, and off your floor. Available in single or dual-bin configurations.
Full-circle or kidney-shaped lazy Susans and blind-corner pull-out systems transform your most frustrating cabinets into genuinely useful storage.
Full-extension pantry pull-outs with adjustable shelves turn a pantry cabinet into organized, visible storage for canned goods, jars, and dry goods.
New pulls, knobs, and handles can be installed as part of any project. One of the most cost-effective ways to update the feel of your kitchen.
Here's exactly what happens when you work with Homestead on a refacing project.
We discuss your goals, look at your cabinet photos, and give you a ballpark range. No in-home visit needed at this stage.
We visit your kitchen to measure, evaluate your cabinet boxes, and show you door samples, finishes, and hardware in person.
You receive a clear written quote. Once approved, you finalize your door style, finish, color, and hardware selections.
A deposit secures your install date and kicks off door manufacturing. Lead time varies by door style and material.
Doors are removed, veneers applied, new doors hung, and hardware installed. Your kitchen will be out of service during this period.
The project is complete when alignment, finish quality, and hardware function are all right.
Refacing costs vary based on kitchen size, door material, and upgrades. Here's how most projects break down.
MDF or maple painted doors. Smooth, clean look. Most popular for white and two-tone kitchens.
Average kitchen with standard door styles, veneer, new hardware, and soft-close hinges.
White oak, red birch, and other hardwood veneers. Higher material cost, exceptional result.
Islands, ceiling extensions, pantry additions, or multiple crown moldings added to project.
For all cabinet work — refacing, painting, or refinishing — the kitchen is a full work zone. Doors and drawer fronts are removed, surfaces are exposed, and the space must remain undisturbed.
The difference storage upgrades make is felt every single day. Here's what changes.
Yes — for most kitchens where the layout works and the boxes are structurally sound. Refacing delivers a like-new appearance at 40–70% of the cost of full replacement, typically in 4–10 days instead of 6–12+ weeks.
The key question is whether your cabinet boxes are solid. If they are, refacing is almost always the smarter investment. If they're failing or you need a layout change, a full remodel may be the better path.
Yes, significantly. A typical refacing project runs $10,000–$25,000, while a comparable full cabinet replacement often costs $35,000–$50,000 or more (excluding cheap box-store options).
The savings come from reusing your existing cabinet boxes, which represent much of the labor in a new cabinet installation.
No. The kitchen will be completely out of service for the 4–10 day project. Doors and drawer fronts are removed, the workspace must remain undisturbed for proper installation and finishing, and the area contains tools and materials throughout.
We strongly recommend setting up a temporary kitchen in another room — a microwave, mini fridge, and paper plates go a long way. The 4–10 days is much more manageable than the 6–12+ weeks required for full replacement.
Absolutely — that's one of the main advantages of refacing over painting. You get entirely new doors and drawer fronts in whatever style you choose: shaker, raised panel, slab, glass inserts, and more. Colors and finishes are also fully customizable.
Yes. Cabinet refacing does not require removing countertops. Many customers keep their existing countertops and are happy with the result. Others choose to pair a refacing project with a countertop replacement for a complete kitchen transformation — we can coordinate that as well.
It depends on the condition and construction of the laminate boxes. We evaluate every kitchen individually — some laminate cabinets are excellent candidates for refacing, others are not. The in-home consultation includes a box assessment to confirm candidacy before we quote.
Quality cabinet refacing with proper materials should last 15–20+ years with normal care. The durability depends on the door material and finish selected. We use premium materials and discuss longevity expectations during the consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
