Inventory exposed surfaces
Stand at each kitchen entrance and photograph visible cabinet sides, toe kicks, trim and panels. If those pieces are not named in the scope, new fronts can make old edges more noticeable.

Cabinet Refacing in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky
In a Fort Mitchell kitchen, the cabinet edges matter as much as the door fronts. End panels, crown, fillers and the transition into adjacent rooms should be included in the decision about refacing versus replacement.
Discuss Your KitchenA practical starting point
Make the finish consistent at every exposed edge
We look at the existing cabinet boxes and the way you use the room before deciding whether cabinet refacing, replacement or a larger remodel makes sense. The right answer depends on your actual kitchen.
Check the frames and hinges
Measure door reveals and note any rubbing or uneven drawers. A replacement door needs an appropriate hinge and overlay for the existing face frame or frameless box.
Coordinate with other finish work
If wall paint, backsplash or countertops are changing, review samples together. The order of work should protect finished surfaces and avoid redoing trim when a counter or cabinet dimension changes.
Before an estimate
Bring the room into focus
Photos of the full kitchen, cabinet interiors, sink base and areas that feel cramped help us understand the request. Tell us what you want to keep, what does not work and whether counters, backsplash or flooring are part of the conversation.
- Photograph the kitchen from each entrance.
- Measure door reveals and cabinet fillers.
- Bring counter and wall-finish samples to the same discussion.
