Cabinet Refacing in Milwaukee – A Fresh Look Without the Full Remodel

Want a beautiful new kitchen or bathroom without the cost and mess of tearing everything out? Cabinet refacing is the perfect solution. At Lewis Custom Cabinets, we specialize in transforming outdated cabinets into refreshed, functional, and stylish features — using your existing cabinet boxes as a foundation.

Serving Milwaukee since 2005, we help homeowners upgrade their cabinets with premium new doors, drawer fronts, veneers, and hardware — all custom-fitted and professionally installed.

What Is Cabinet Refacing?

Cabinet refacing involves updating the visible parts of your cabinets (like the doors and drawer fronts), while keeping the internal cabinet boxes in place. It’s ideal when your cabinets are structurally sound but need a new look.

Our Refacing Process Includes:

  • Removing old doors, drawers, and face frames (if needed)

  • Applying new wood veneers or laminate surfaces to the cabinet fronts and sides

  • Installing brand-new, custom-fit doors and drawer fronts

  • Adding new hardware like knobs, pulls, soft-close hinges, or drawer slides

The result? A completely refreshed space — faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than replacing everything.

Why Choose Refacing Over Replacing?

Refacing gives you the look of new cabinets for a fraction of the cost and time. Here’s why many Milwaukee homeowners prefer this option:

  • Saves Money: Up to 40–50% less than full cabinet replacement

  • Less Disruption: No need to demo walls or remove countertops

  • Faster Turnaround: Most refacing jobs completed in days, not weeks

  • Eco-Friendly: Keeps cabinet boxes out of landfills

  • Custom Style: Choose from modern, classic, or traditional doors and finishes

Refacing Materials That Last

At Lewis Custom Cabinets, we use only solid wood doors and plywood veneers — no cheap particle board or flimsy MDF. Our refacing work stands up to daily wear while adding value and elegance to your space.

Choose from:

  • Hardwood door styles (Shaker, raised panel, slab, and more)

  • Stains, paints, or clear finishes

  • Soft-close hinges, drawer glides, and updated hardware options

We’ll match your new cabinetry style to your existing space — or create a totally new look you’ll love.

Is Cabinet Refacing Right for You?

Refacing is a great fit if:

  • Your cabinet layout works but needs a style refresh

  • The boxes are still structurally sound (no warping, sagging, or water damage)

  • You want new doors, drawers, and finishes without the hassle of full remodeling

  • You need a fast, clean solution that minimizes downtime in your kitchen or bath

Not sure? We’ll help you decide — with honest recommendations during your in-home consultation.
