Tired of your outdated kitchen cabinets but dreading a full remodel? Kitchen Refresh process offers a smarter solution. Instead of tearing out your entire kitchen or settling for paint touch-ups, we manufacture and install brand new cabinet door and drawer fronts that transform your space in just days, not months.
Understanding exactly what happens during a kitchen refresh helps you plan confidently and know what to expect every step of the way. Here’s your complete guide to the Kitchen Refresh process.
Your kitchen transformation begins with a thorough in-home consultation. Our design professionals visit your kitchen to assess your existing cabinet boxes, take precise measurements, and understand your style preferences.
During this visit, we’ll evaluate the structural integrity of your cabinet boxes to ensure they’re suitable for new doors. Most cabinet boxes built after 1980 work perfectly for a refresh. We’ll also discuss your design goals, show you door style options, and explain finish choices.
The consultation typically takes 60-90 minutes. You’ll receive a detailed quote on the spot, complete with timeline and material specifications. No waiting weeks for estimates or surprises later.
Quality starts with materials, which is why Kitchen Refresh uses only professional-grade components manufactured in our North Dakota facility.
Our cabinet doors feature solid wood frames with high-quality center panels. We offer both raised panel and flat panel styles in various wood species, including maple, oak, and cherry. All doors receive a factory-applied finish that’s far more durable than anything achievable with on-site application.
Drawer fronts match your chosen door style perfectly. We also provide new hinges, handles, and any necessary hardware upgrades. Every component is custom-manufactured to your exact specifications and finish preferences.
Once you approve your design and place your order, manufacturing begins immediately at our North Dakota facility. The typical production timeline is 5-6 weeks, depending on your chosen finish and any custom modifications.
During manufacturing, each door and drawer front is precisely cut, assembled, and finished using professional spray booth equipment. This factory-controlled environment ensures consistent color, texture, and durability that’s impossible to achieve with field-applied finishes.
We’ll keep you updated throughout the manufacturing process and confirm your installation date once your doors are ready for shipment.
Installation is where the magic happens. Our certified installers arrive with your custom-manufactured doors and all necessary tools. The process typically takes 1-2 days, depending on kitchen size and complexity.
First, we carefully remove your old doors and drawer fronts, labeling everything for proper reinstallation. Next, we install new hinges and make any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect alignment. Your new doors and drawer fronts are then mounted and carefully adjusted.
Finally, we install your chosen hardware and perform a thorough quality check. We clean up completely, leaving you with a transformed kitchen and zero mess.
Preparation is minimal but important for a smooth installation process. Clear your cabinet contents and store them temporarily in another room. This protects your belongings and gives our installers full access to work efficiently.
Remove any items from cabinet tops and nearby countertops. While our installers are careful to protect your space, having a clear work area prevents any accidental damage to your belongings.
Plan for limited kitchen access during installation. Most homeowners find it convenient to eat out or prepare simple meals that don’t require extensive cooking during the 1-2 day installation period, however you WILL have full access to the kitchen and we are happy to work around you should you need to use your kitchen!
Most cabinet boxes built after 1980 are structurally sound and work perfectly for a refresh. During our consultation, we’ll assess your specific cabinets to confirm compatibility and identify any necessary preparations.
Kitchen Refresh typically costs 60-75% less than a complete cabinet replacement. You keep your existing cabinet boxes, countertops, and layout while getting the visual impact of brand new cabinetry.
Yes, we offer multiple door styles including raised panel and flat panel designs. Finish options include various stains, paints, and wood species. All finishes are factory-applied for superior durability and consistency.
