Should I Replace or Reface My Kitchen Cabinets? Austin Homeowners Guide

Upgrading your kitchen cabinets is one of the most impactful ways to transform your space — but should you replace them entirely, or reface what you have? At Austin Painting and Cabinets, we help Austin homeowners make the right choice based on style, structure, and budget.

What’s the Difference Between Cabinet Refacing and Replacement?

Cabinet refacing involves updating your cabinet doors and drawer fronts while keeping the existing cabinet boxes. New veneers, paint, or finish are applied for a fresh look. Cabinet replacement means tearing out the old cabinetry and installing completely new units — sometimes with layout changes.

When Should You Choose Cabinet Refacing?

  • Your cabinet boxes are in good condition
  • You like your kitchen layout and don’t need to move anything
  • You want a fast and affordable update

We offer expert cabinet painting and cabinet refacing services using durable finishes and premium materials right here in Austin.

When Is It Better to Install New Cabinets?

  • Your current cabinets are damaged or warped
  • You want to change the kitchen layout
  • You need to improve storage, lighting, or space usage

We provide new cabinet installation services that include layout design, premium materials, and hardware upgrades — all tailored for your Austin home.

Kitchen Cabinet Styles We Offer

  • Shaker-style cabinets
  • Slab and flat panel designs
  • Glass front and open shelving options
