If you’re considering cabinet refacing but worried about how long the process might take, you’re not alone. Many Charlotte homeowners want a fresh kitchen look without weeks of disruption. The good news? Cabinet resurfacing is one of the fastest, most efficient ways to transform your kitchen, often in less than a week.
What Factors Affect the Timeline?
Every kitchen is different, but a few key factors can influence how long your cabinet refacing project takes:
- Kitchen Size and Layout: A standard 10×10 kitchen typically takes 3–5 days. Larger or more complex layouts may require an extra day or two.
- Number of Cabinets and Drawers: More doors and drawers mean more materials to install, and a bit more time.
- Upgrades and Custom Features: Adding soft-close hardware, pull-out shelves, or glass cabinet inserts can extend the project slightly, but the results are well worth it.
- Material Availability: We stock popular finishes locally, but custom selections may add lead time to the start of the project.
Typical Refacing Timeline Breakdown
Here’s a general overview of what to expect when we resurface your kitchen cabinets:
Day 1: Prep and Removal
We begin by protecting your floors, countertops, and appliances with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Then, we remove your existing cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware.
Day 2–3: Surface Preparation and Refacing
Our team carefully prepares your cabinet frames, then applies high-quality wood or laminate facing to match your selected style and finish.
Day 3–4: Door and Drawer Installation
New doors and drawer fronts are installed, along with new hinges, handles, and pulls. Everything is aligned and adjusted for smooth operation.
