Is your kitchen or bathroom structurally fine but visually stuck in a different decade? Cabinet refacing covers the boxes with new veneer or laminate, swaps in new doors and drawer fronts, and updates the hardware. The carcass stays. Nothing gets torn out.

Lake Wales Cabinet Refacing handles this work for homes where the boxes are solid but the finish has given up. That's common after years of Polk County heat working against laminate and thermofoil. Older rural housing stock in and around Lake Wales tends to have cabinet boxes that outlast their original finish by a long shot, so refacing usually gets the job done without the cost of a full gut.

How it works

Step 1
Cabinet Assessment
Existing cabinet boxes are inspected for structural soundness before refacing begins.

Clients review finish and style samples to plan the new cabinet appearance.
Step 3

Surfaces are cleaned and lightly sanded to help new materials adhere properly.
Step 4
Veneer Application
Matching veneer is applied to exposed cabinet surfaces for a smooth finish.
Step 5
New Door Fitting
Replacement doors and drawer fronts are installed to complete the updated look.
Step 6
Quality Check
Each cabinet is inspected for proper alignment, finish consistency, and smooth operation.

Materials

Materials and methods for Cabinet Refacing

Material choice matters more here than people expect. Humidity in the Lakeland-Winter Haven metro works against anything that isn't sealed or bonded well.

Rigid Thermofoil
A durable foil finish wraps cabinet surfaces for a smooth, consistent appearance, holding up better against moisture swings than older laminate did.
Wood Veneer
Natural wood veneer offers an authentic grain look over existing cabinet boxes, popular with older Lake Wales homes where owners want a real-wood feel without replacing the whole kitchen.
Adhesive Bonding Agents
Professional-grade adhesives ensure veneer and laminate stay securely bonded long-term, which matters more here than in drier climates.
Matching Drawer Fronts
New fronts are crafted to match replacement doors for a unified design across the whole kitchen.
Edge Banding
Edge banding finishes exposed panel edges for a clean, professional look that resists peeling at the seams.
Cabinet Hardware Sets
Coordinated hardware sets complete the refaced cabinetry with a polished finish.
