Cabinet Refacing in
Medina, Ohio

More and more homeowners are opting for solid wood cabinet refacing in Medina from American Wood Reface—let’s go over the reasons why.

Benefits

Solid wood refacing from American Wood Reface upgrades your cabinetry’s functionality, durability, and visual appeal. Instead of tearing out your cabinets, it enhances what you already have by applying premium 1/4" solid wood facing to cabinet boxes and installing brand-new solid wood doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. 

As a result, you can achieve a high-end look at a fraction of the cost and time of a full replacement, with minimal disruption to your daily routines. It also reduces waste by reusing much of your existing cabinet structures, reducing your project’s environmental impact.

Plus, we have a Limited Lifetime Homeowner Warranty backing up our work, so you can rest easy knowing your newly refaced kitchen cabinets will be protected for as long as you own your home.

Local Advantage

Most classic suburban homes in Medina, OH, were built in the 1950s and early 1970s, featuring traditional Shaker and Craftsman-style cabinetry with well-built cabinet boxes that have stood the test of time. However, while these cabinets are mostly operable, they are in desperate need of an aesthetic update and functional modernization. This makes Medina’s historic homes a great candidate for solid-wood refacing from American Wood Reface. You can modernize your cabinets and the rest of your kitchen without overinvesting in a full remodel.

American Wood Reface follows a detailed process to ensure your project is seamless from our first consultation to cleanup.

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a free consultation where our Kitchen Design Specialist visits your home to assess your kitchen, discuss your goals, and provide guidance to get your project started. We evaluate your cabinets to ensure they’re suitable for solid wood refacing (most are). We offer insights to help you identify shortcomings in your kitchen and solutions to address them. We explain in detail what cabinet refacing entails and how a project will progress, including timeline and kitchen access during the work.  
2. Design and Material Selection: During our in-home consultation, our Kitchen Design Specialist brings samples of wood species, door styles, finishes, colors, and hardware to help you choose options that match your vision and personal style. We provide a firm cost quotation based on your material selections and chosen upgrades, so you know exactly what to expect. We do not engage in high-pressure sales tactics, but prefer to provide information and allow you to make your own decisions. 
3. Cabinet Inspection and Measurement: Our technical team visits your home to carefully inspect your existing cabinets, identify service routing, and assess adjacent fixtures and finishes to ensure a smooth installation process.   They then take precise, thorough measurements to ensure a perfect fit during installation.
4. Fabrication: We custom-craft your cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and other components from premium select-grade solid wood for longevity, durability, and visual appeal.
5. Removal of Doors and Drawer Fronts: To begin the installation, we carefully remove your existing cabinet doors and drawer fronts to prepare your boxes for solid-wood refacing. Old doors are donated to charity when possible. 
6. Any optional cabinet modifications chosen by the customer (extending, resizing, restructuring) are completed prior to refacing. Once refaced, modifications of the cabinetry are undetectable. 
7. Refacing of Cabinet Boxes: We cover your cabinet boxes with 1/4" solid wood facings, improving their durability as well as their appearance. Sides and bottoms are also covered. We use a multi-step process with nearly invisible fasteners to create a seamless, durable installation. 
8. Installation of New Doors, Drawer Fronts, and Hardware: We install brand-new, handcrafted solid-wood doors and drawer fronts, along with 6-way adjustable hinges and heavy-duty hardware, to complete your upgrade. Soft-close hinges and drawer glides are available. We finish each day of installation by cleaning up the work area to keep the mess manageable and to maintain access to a functional kitchen as much as possible. 
9. Final Inspection and Cleanup: Our team conducts a thorough inspection of the finished project to ensure it meets our high standards, then leaves your kitchen clean, polished, and ready to use.
