Paul,

Thanks for the info, I had always assumed the new veneer got laminated over the face and then trimmed down with a router, obviously this would be difficult to do with cabinets up against walls and countertops on etc.

What you are describing makes much more sense, thanks again.

Its finish carpentry all the way and there is a world of difference between how an experienced career carpenter does it vs a "factory trained" technician. Everyone gets better as they gain experience, but a remodeler is the perfect person to do this work. You remove doors and drawers, lightly sand the boxes and frames and clean ), I use an alcohol wipe. You then apply pre-finished peel and stick veneer or 1/8" solid wood over the face frames. Install new doors and drawer fronts, new drawer boxes and accessories as requested. In and out in 4 or 5 days on most jobs. Looks just like all new cabinets. Perfect for a makeover where the customer doesn't want to remove their stone counters. Owen, you leave the cabinets in place.

Do you remove the cabinets to reface them or do you laminate the frames with the cabinets in place? Paul,

I have had some friends that have done this and they are so pleased with the results. My kitchen needs to be remodeled - looks like I will be contacting you soon!

Do you get the veneer for the faceframes pre-finished or do you stain and poly it to match the new doors? Does the door manufacturer send you prefinished doors or do you finish them? Owen Paul,
