A Rochester Couple Enjoys New Cabinets Without the Hassle and Cost of Renovation

August 21, 2024

Donald and Rebecca Porter had discussed changing the appearance of their kitchen for the past year. They finally decided to move forward and looked into some renovation options. It didn't take them long to realize the renovation cost was out of their current budget, so they began searching for an alternative.


After discussing what was most important to them, they determined the main issue was their dark brown cabinets, which made their kitchen feel claustrophobic. They decided lighter cabinets and a modern aesthetic would satisfy their goals.

Donald went online and did a Google search for alternatives to renovation and learned about cabinet refacing. He found Cabinet Reface Direct of Rochester in the top results and visited their website to learn more. He browsed the website and read about some of the company's previous jobs. After viewing before and after pictures from some of the jobs, he called Cabinet Reface Direct and spoke to a representative. The representative was friendly and helpful and scheduled a convenient appointment with a CRD designer for a free in-home price quote.

The designer, John, arrived on time for the consultation and price quote. The couple showed him their cabinets, which he inspected to ensure they were good candidates for refacing. The boxes were still in excellent shape, and since the couple was satisfied with the layout, refacing was an ideal solution.

Donald and Rebecca sat with John and told them what they wanted. He suggested white raised panel cabinets to give them the aesthetic they were looking for, and after showing them samples of what he was suggesting, they agreed it would be perfect for their cabinets.

The couple scheduled a date for John to return and do the job. He arrived on time and ready to get started. He gave them a timeline of what he would be doing and told them he could finish the job in two days, which surprised the couple. With a renovation, it would cost two or three times as much, and the job would take weeks.

John got started, spending the first day removing all the old cabinet doors and drawer faces and prepping the surfaces so he could install the veneer to match the new cabinet faces. He took his time and was meticulous in everything he did. The couple peeked into the kitchen several times just to see how it was progressing and were impressed by John's diligence.

On day two, John installed the raised panel doors and hardware. After ensuring the kitchen was clean and how he found it (minus the old cabinet doors), he invited Donald and Rebecca to see the results. They were amazed by the transformation. The difference the light cabinets made in the kitchen was stark, giving it a roomier appearance. The raised panel style provided the perfect aesthetic, complementing the change in aesthetics.

Donald and Rebecca felt like they were looking at a brand-new kitchen and couldn't believe refacing cabinets could make such a huge difference. They thanked John for a job well done and promised to leave a review on Google so others could experience the same quality and craftsmanship they had.
