Kitchen Cabinet Refacing in Queens
Rated 4.9 out of 5from 121 customer reviews
New Look Kitchen Refacing refaces kitchens across Queens, from detached houses in the northeast of the borough to co-op apartments along Queens Boulevard, working from our Farmingdale shop on Long Island. Cabinet refacing keeps your cabinet boxes and replaces what you see: new doors, drawer fronts and hardware, with a matching veneer over the exposed frames. Our own installers do the work under NYC Home Improvement Contractor #1229993-DCA, and most kitchens are finished in three to five days.

What Refacing Replaces, and What It Leaves Where It Is
A refacing job starts from a simple question: are the cabinet boxes sound? If they are, there is no reason to tear them out. We take off the old doors and drawer fronts, cover every exposed frame and end panel in veneer, and hang new doors, fronts, hinges and pulls made to your measurements. The sink, the range, the dishwasher and the floor are not touched.
What you are left with is the kitchen you already know how to cook in, with a finish that looks new. If the layout itself is the problem, refacing is the wrong job, and we would rather tell you that at the estimate than sell you new doors on a room that needs a remodel.
A House in Bayside or a Co-op in Forest Hills?
Queens has both, often a few blocks apart, and the job is the same size in each. What changes is who else has a say before work starts.
In a detached or attached house, that is you. We measure, you choose a door style and finish, and the installation is booked around your calendar.
In a co-op or condo building, the building has its own rules for contractors. Read your alteration agreement or proprietary lease, then ask the managing agent whether cabinet work needs approval and when contractors are allowed in. Our Manhattan page goes through those questions in more detail; they are the same questions in a Rego Park or Jackson Heights building.
Are Original Cabinets Worth Refacing?
Often they are the best candidates we see. Many Queens houses still have the cabinet boxes they were built with, or a set put in a generation ago, and older boxes were frequently built from solid wood or thick plywood that is still square and sturdy. Replacing them pays to throw away the one part of the kitchen that has not worn out.
The exception is water. Look under the sink and beside the dishwasher: a box floor that is swollen, soft or stained dark is failing, and veneer will not save it. We check every box at the estimate and will tell you if one needs replacing before any doors are ordered.
Measure, Make, Install
Every Queens job runs through the same three stages as our Long Island work. The measure happens at the estimate, the doors and fronts are made to it, and the installation is the only part that happens in your kitchen.

Refacing or Remodeling a Queens Kitchen
A remodel replaces the cabinet boxes, which means demolition, new plumbing connections and a kitchen that is out of action for weeks. Refacing keeps the boxes, so the job is mostly measured in days. If you are weighing a cheaper finish instead, here is how refacing differs from refinishing.
| Measure | Refacing | Full remodel |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | 3–5 days | 4–8 weeks |
| Typical spend | $10k–$18k | $25k–$45k |
| Demolition | None | Full tear-out |
| Your layout | Kept | Rebuilt |

Questions From Queens Homeowners
Refacing keeps the cabinet boxes you already have and replaces everything you see on them: doors, drawer fronts, hinges and pulls, with a matching veneer over the exposed frames and end panels. Nothing is moved, so the plumbing, the gas line and the layout stay exactly where they are. It suits a kitchen whose layout works and whose boxes are sound, which describes a great many Queens houses with their original cabinets. If you want to move the sink, take out a wall or change the footprint, that is a remodel, and we will say so at the estimate.
