If you’re considering cabinet refacing, one of the first questions that comes up is: “Can I change the style of my cabinet doors?” The answer is yes, absolutely. In fact, choosing a brand‑new door style is one of the biggest reasons homeowners love refacing.
Even though your existing cabinet boxes stay in place, the exterior of your kitchen becomes completely new. The doors, drawer fronts, and visible surfaces are replaced and updated, giving you the freedom to redesign your kitchen’s look without the cost or disruption of a full remodel.

You’re Not Stuck with Your Current Cabinet Door Style
Many homeowners think they have to keep the same door style they already have. Not true. When refacing, you can switch to any style you prefer, including:
Shaker – Clean, timeless, and the most popular choice today
Flat Panel / Slab – Sleek, modern, and perfect for minimalist designs
Raised Panel – Classic and detailed, ideal for traditional kitchens
Solid Wood Options – Premium construction with natural grain and character
Every door is custom‑made to fit your kitchen, so you’re not limited to stock sizes or pre‑made pieces.
Fully Customizable Colors and Finishes
Once you choose your door style, you can personalize the look even further. With refacing, you can select:
Any paint or stain color
Light, medium, or dark tones
Matte, satin, or semi‑gloss finishes
Modern, transitional, or traditional color palettes
Whether you want bright white Shaker doors, warm stained wood, or a bold modern color, the finish is completely up to you.
A Complete Transformation Without a Full Remodel
Refacing is the perfect middle ground between painting and replacing your cabinets. You keep the strong cabinet boxes you already have, but everything you see on the outside becomes brand new. The result is a kitchen that looks fully remodeled, without the demolition, long timelines, or high price tag.
If you’re dreaming of a new kitchen style, refacing gives you the flexibility to get exactly the look you want.
