Are you dreaming of a fresh, modern kitchen but dreading the cost and chaos of a complete overhaul? At Gallagher Painting, we’ve got the perfect solution: refacing cabinets. This budget-friendly approach lets you update your kitchen’s look without tearing everything out. Whether you’re in a new build or refreshing an older home, refacing cabinets can breathe new life into your space. Let’s dive into why this method—especially when paired with professional repainting—is a game-changer for homeowners looking at updating cabinets without replacing them.
What Is Cabinet Refacing?
Refacing cabinets involves giving your existing cabinetry a facelift by updating the exterior surfaces. This could mean repainting or refinishing the doors, adding new hardware, or even applying a fresh veneer. Unlike a full remodel, which replaces everything, refacing keeps the sturdy bones of your cabinets intact. For many homeowners, this strikes the perfect balance between cost, time, and results. At Gallagher Painting, we specialize in both new builds and repainting older cabinets, making us experts in this transformative process.
The beauty of refacing cabinets lies in its simplicity. Imagine your outdated oak cabinets turned into sleek, modern gray ones—or perhaps a crisp white finish to brighten your kitchen. With a variety of colors to choose from (think trendy sage green or classic navy), we can customize the look to match your style. This approach is ideal for updating cabinets without replacing them, saving you thousands compared to a full cabinet replacement.
Why Choose Refacing Over Replacing?
There are plenty of reasons to opt for refacing cabinets instead of starting from scratch. First, it’s cost-effective. A full kitchen remodel can set you back $20,000 or more, while refacing typically costs a fraction of that. Second, it’s faster. Our team at Gallagher Painting can complete most refacing projects in just a few days, minimizing disruption to your home. Finally, it’s eco-friendly—keeping your existing cabinets out of landfills is a win for the planet.
For new builds, refacing can also enhance standard cabinetry. Builders often install basic finishes, but with a custom paint job, you can elevate the look right from the start. For older homes, updating cabinets without replacing them preserves the charm of your space while modernizing it. It’s a versatile solution that works for any kitchen.

Our process starts with a consultation to understand your vision. Want a bold red accent or a subtle beige? We’ll guide you through color options and finishes. Next, we prep your cabinets—sanding, cleaning, and priming—to ensure a flawless result. Then, our skilled painters apply high-quality paint that’s durable enough for daily kitchen use. The result? Cabinets that look brand new without the hassle of a full replacement.
Tips for Maintaining Your Refaced Cabinets
Once your cabinets are refaced, keeping them looking great is easy. Wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth to remove grease, and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
