"Lou webt above and beyond to complete the refacing of kitchen cabinets at my home. His customer service, cleanliness, professionalism, and price cannot be beat! If I could find a dedicated contractor to complete the rest of my projects that were anything like Lou @Log kitchens.. it would be a gift! He showed up on time, completed the task, communicated more than effectively on shipping arrival, additional pieces I requested, and any unforeseen situations. He even showed up Christmas Eve to complete the job! Hands down -the best!"
"I hate being condescended to. Listen to what I want and then give suggestions on how I might be able to work that out in my kitchen. Don't just tell me it can't be done. I felt like I was wasting my time. I asked about a particular type of closet (not realizing it was part of a bigger cabinet...how would I know) and she told me to follow her (using her finger to me like a child) and said I couldn't have it because it was as part of a bigger piece. She could have just said that. I said if I can't make my kitchen more "usable" (less wasted space), WHY to with custom cabinets. I could just reface. The woman behind me who was waiting to ask her a question said. Listen, if you can't get what you want, I don't blame you for not spending the money. It's easy to reface. So, I called another company and, low and behold, I'm getting partial refacing and partial custom cabinets. He came and we discussed HOW I could get my carousel cabinet (uh - he suggested I go from a double to a single sink - easy peasy) AND, he came in at half the price your website suggested I might pay. It is really nice to be listened to...especially when it's MY money I'm spending."
"I am still giddy over’s the job they did!!!!! I sincerely felt like a kid at Christmas when I looked at my yard!! They went way above and beyond, and even trimmed and pruned places I hadn’t asked them to do!! I would hire them again in a New York minute!! If you need anything done in your yard, and you don’t call this company, you are crazy!!!!!"

"I was advised that I should not re-finish cabinets and should paint. I did not listen and was warned, very honestly, that I may not be happy with the result. I am not contacting them to return to paint. Their honesty was so right on. I wish I had listening to them originally. He spent all day trying to make it right but my cabinets were too far gone."

No, in most cases, you do not have to remove your countertops to reface cabinets. Since refacing primarily involves updating the doors, drawer fronts, and exterior surfaces, your existing countertops can usually stay right where they are, making the process quicker and less disruptive.

It's best to consult with a professional cabinet contractor to assess your specific kitchen layout during an estimate.

For best results, use a degreasing cleaner designed for prep work, then rinse and dry thoroughly before sanding.
Refinishing cabinets requires sanding and restoring them with paint, lacquer, or stain. Refacing cabinets involves removing and replacing existing cabinet doors and hardware. Refacing cabinets can be more costly. Refacing cabinets typically costs between $4,500 to $10,600.
