Kitchen Facelifts


Many clients have come to us with cabinets that are in decent shape but want to update the looks of their kitchen and take advantage of the more energy efficient appliances and switch to solid surface countertops.

So, we have seen plenty of kitchens with natural oak cabinets with contact paper veneer sides that have had the finish on the cabinets yellow over time while the veneer sides stay the same. This causes the sides to not match the rest of the kitchen. We install 1/4” luan over the existing veneer sides, ready for priming and painting.

The kitchen shown here has had the cabinets degreased, sanded, primed and painted, cabinet hardware updated, Granite countertops installed with stainless steel undermount sink and sink fixture, tile backsplash, light fixtures replaced, stainless steel appliances and a fresh coat of paint on the walls.

This particular kitchen had the hardwood floor installed after the cabinets, so a decorative ¾” spacer was installed prior to the new countertops so the dishwasher would have the required clearance.
