Laminate & Thermofoil Cabinet Refacing

Thoughtful work, done right.

Not every kitchen needs a big project. For many homeowners, a laminate or thermofoil reface is the perfect update: new doors and drawer fronts, matching surfaces on the cabinet frames, and new hardware, all at a price that makes sense.

Today's laminates and rigid thermofoils look nothing like the peeling surfaces of decades past. They come in crisp solid colors, realistic woodgrains and modern matte finishes, resist moisture and scratches, and wipe clean in seconds, which makes them ideal for busy households and rental properties.

Timeline: Laminate and thermofoil refacing is usually our fastest project: often just a few days on site once materials arrive.

Questions

Laminate refacing: your questions, answered.

What's the difference between laminate and thermofoil?

Thermofoil (RTF) is a vinyl layer heat-formed over an MDF core, so it wraps edges seamlessly and is easy to clean. Decorative laminate is a very hard, scratch-resistant surface. Both are durable and budget-friendly; we'll show you samples of each.

Will laminate refacing look cheap?

Not today. Modern laminates and thermofoils come in refined matte colors and realistic woodgrains, and when they're installed carefully with matched frames and good hardware, the result looks clean and high-end.

Is thermofoil OK near the oven?

Thermofoil should be protected from direct, intense heat, so we use heat shields next to ovens and self-cleaning ranges where needed.

Kind words from our neighbors

Kitchens people love coming home to.

We were sure we needed to rip everything out. Oleg looked at our cabinets, told us honestly they were solid, and refaced them instead. It looks like a brand new kitchen, and we were cooking in it the whole time.
