Every project includes

What's included on every kitchen refresh job

Cabinet door and drawer-front replacement (boxes stay)
Backsplash tile install — subway, mosaic, or large-format
Hardware swap — pulls, knobs, hinges, faucet
Minor fixes — sticking drawers, loose doors, worn shelf pins
Lighting swap — under-cabinet LED and pendant replacement
Final cleanup with no dust on the counters

A kitchen refresh is the highest-ROI cosmetic project in a home. New shaker doors on existing boxes, a tile backsplash, brushed nickel pulls, and a single-handle faucet — those four changes do most of the work of a renovation at maybe a sixth of the cost. We'll walk through with you and tell you what's worth doing and what's not. If your boxes are damaged or the layout is the actual problem, we'll quote a renovation instead — but most kitchens just need a refresh.

Why Us for Kitchen Refresh

ROI talk on the walk-through. Some changes move the needle. Others don't. We'll tell you.

Backsplash with waterproofing. Tile gets a proper substrate behind it — not just thinset on bare drywall.

Coordinated stages. You keep a working kitchen most of the time. We work in sections, not all-at-once.

Cabinet Installation Included

If your refresh needs more than new doors — full cabinet runs, replacement boxes, or an island addition — we handle the cabinet install start to finish. IKEA, big-box, custom, semi-custom, and RTA all welcome.

Our cabinet install standard:

Layout marked from a snapped level line — not the ceiling or floor
Every stud located and marked before any cabinet goes up
Upper cabinets hung first; bases set, leveled, and shimmed
Cabinets joined to each other with face-frame screws (no exposed gaps)
Doors and drawers adjusted for consistent reveals on all sides
Toe kicks, fillers, and crown installed where needed

Cabinet install process:

Inspection and Layout. We check the boxes for damage, measure the room for square, snap a level line at upper-cabinet height, and locate every stud.
Hang Uppers. Upper cabinets hung off the snapped line, screwed into studs, joined to each other before any one cabinet is final.
Set Bases. Base cabinets dropped, leveled with shims at the back and front, screwed to studs, joined to each other. Toe kick fastened on top of shims.
Doors and Drawers. Doors hung, drawers slid in, hinges and slides adjusted until every reveal is dialed in. Soft-close adjusted so doors close gentle.
Trim and Walkthrough. Crown, fillers, and any exposed end panels installed. Final walkthrough — every drawer pulls smooth, every door closes flush.

Countertop fabrication (granite, quartz, butcher block) is handled by the stone yard — we coordinate the template appointment and prep the cabinet tops level.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can you change just the cabinet doors and keep the boxes?

Yes — that's the heart of a refresh. New doors and drawer fronts go on existing boxes if they're structurally sound. We'll tell you on the walk-through if your boxes are good or if you should plan for a renovation instead.

Do you install backsplash tile and what kind do you handle?

Yes. Subway, mosaic, large-format porcelain, and natural stone. Kitchens behind the sink and stove get proper waterproofing membrane behind the tile — not just thinset on drywall.

Will I be without a kitchen during the refresh?

We stage the work so you have a working sink and stove almost the entire time. Doors and hardware come off in batches. Backsplash gets the longest sink-down (one to two days). We coordinate it with you so you can plan meals around it.

Can you paint cabinets instead of replacing the doors?

We can. Cabinet painting takes longer than door replacement because of the prep — sanding, deglossing, priming, and a sprayed self-leveling enamel finish for it to last. We quote both options so you can compare.

Do you install under-cabinet lighting and outlet upgrades?

Under-cabinet LED — yes, plug-in or hardwired strips. Outlet upgrades inside cabinets — yes for low-voltage data and USB. Anything that requires a new electrical circuit run we coordinate with a licensed electrician.
