We had a wonderful experience with Kitchen Refresh. After getting quotes from custom remodelers, we were thrilled to meet with Jerry and Shelly and learn that they would be able to give us what we want for a fraction of the price and much less time living through a remodel. I loved that we were able to do some customizing to meet our needs (remove a cabinet, raise a former desk to counter height, move our cooktop out of our island, and redesign drawers and cabinets) but we did not have to completely gut our kitchen to do it. We were also able to update our family room by having them replace door fronts on our built ins and paint to match the kitchen. Having 2 small children at home, we also appreciated that our kitchen was functional throughout the whole process.

Kitchen Refresh did more than update our kitchen. At every step, they were attentive to details and to what we wanted to create a space that fits our 104-year-old home. When crews demolished a bulkhead to reveal decades-old trim underneath, they repurposed it to top the cabinets. That’s just one example of their adaptability, their willingness to meet our requests and their ongoing accommodation to save us a bit of money. The result is a kitchen that looks like it belongs in our historic home — unlike the kitchen we found when we bought the house. Each of the contractors did their portion of work in coordination with us and each other for minimal disruption during the process. Before this project, we considered our kitchen a minor drawback to an otherwise nice home. We now consider the kitchen one of its top assets.

Extremely pleased with our experience with Kitchen Refresh. Shelly and Jerry were very helpful in figuring out what to do in our dated kitchen. They have the resources to go beyond the basics, creating new storage much easier to access than the old. The new cabinet facing is great and they were able to do some custom cabinetry to maximize the space. They project managed seamlessly with their carpenters and painters, the electrician, the tile work, the plumber and Cambria, The attention to detail is terrific - addressing things I might never have noticed, and ensuring a professional level you might expect to cost much more. The crews were a pleasure to have working in our home. We love our new kitchen and recommend them without reservation.

A standard Kitchen Refresh focuses on transforming the look of your cabinets efficiently and affordably. It includes:
This targeted approach creates a dramatic update without needing to tear out your entire kitchen. The core Refresh is focused on the cabinets themselves, but some locations also offer options to replace countertops or backsplashes.
One of our biggest advantages is speed! The on-site installation portion of your Kitchen Refresh is typically completed in just 1 to 5 days, depending on the size and complexity of your kitchen. This is significantly faster than a traditional remodel, which can take weeks or even months, minimizing disruption to your home and routine. The process includes preparation, cabinet box painting, and final installation of your new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware.
The best part? Your kitchen remains functional throught the whole process!
Yes! Because we focus on replacing the most visible elements (doors and drawer fronts) and refreshing the existing cabinet boxes rather than demolishing and replacing everything, our process is significantly more cost-effective. Homeowners typically save up to 75% compared to the cost of a conventional, full custom cabinet replacement or major remodel. You get a beautiful, high-impact update without the massive expense.
We pride ourselves on providing a high-quality, durable finish. Your new cabinet doors and drawer fronts are brand new, custom-manufactured in North Dakota. They are designed to withstand daily kitchen use and maintain their beauty for years to come. We offer a wide variety of styles and finishes, all selected for their quality and aesthetic appeal.
