How Do You Refinish Veneer Cabinets?

If you’re looking to refresh veneer kitchen cabinets in your home that are looking worse for wear, there are several options available. The most obvious solution is to replace them; however, this is a time-consuming and costly process. If you’re happy with the layout of your cabinetry and don’t want to change other design elements, such as your countertops, there are better, more affordable options. How can you refinish your veneer cabinets and restore them to their former glory?

Traditional Cabinet Refinishing

This solution will only work if the veneer on your cabinets is made from natural wood and is still in relatively good condition. You’ll find the process is similar to refinishing solid wood cabinets. Start by cleaning and sanding the surface, making sure to avoid removing too much of the veneer in the process. Then repair any minor damage and apply the paint or stain of your choice. Finally, you’ll want to seal your refinished cabinets to preserve their look over the long term.

Cabinet Refacing

Cabinet refacing is suitable for cabinets that have extensive wear or that are made from materials other than wood. This process involves leaving your cabinet boxes in place and applying a cabinet refacing veneer. Then, brand-new doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are installed, resulting in a completely refreshed look. This option allows for greater design flexibility than cabinet refinishing, as you can choose from a wide array of colors and styles for your cabinet refacing veneer as well as your new doors and drawer fronts.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
