Frequently Asked Questions
The things homeowners ask us most often, answered plainly.
In most kitchens, yes. Cabinet boxes are usually plywood or MDF carcasses that outlast their doors by decades. If the boxes are solid, square and dry, new doors are all you need. We check this at the free measure and will tell you honestly if your kitchen is one of the few that genuinely needs replacing.
Replacing doors and fronts typically costs between a third and a half of a full kitchen replacement, because you are not paying for carcasses, worktops, plumbing or the labour to rip out and rebuild. A typical Lower Mainland kitchen lands between $2,400 and $4,500 depending on the number of doors and the finish you choose.
Most kitchens are fitted in one to three days. Small galley kitchens are often a single day. Larger kitchens with an island and a refacing element can run to four or five. Your doors are made before we arrive, so the disruption is limited to the fitting itself.
No. We remove and replace doors in sections, so your sink, hob and fridge stay usable throughout. There is no water or power isolation involved, and we clean up at the end of each day.
Shaker, slab, panelled and glazed styles, in painted finishes, laminates, wood veneers and solid timber. Painted doors can be colour matched to almost any reference you bring us. We leave samples with you so you can see them in your own light before deciding.
Yes, soft-close hinges are fitted as standard on every door we hang, at no extra cost. Sagging hinges are the reason many kitchens look tired even when the doors are sound, so replacing them is not optional in our quotes.
