Straightforward cabinet refacing & refinishing from Marroquin Painting and Carpentry. Upfront quote, workmanship guaranteed, no surprises on the invoice.
When the cabinet boxes themselves are solid—no water damage, no soft spots at the corners, drawers that still slide square—replacing them entirely is throwing away structure that still has decades of life left. The symptom that calls for refacing is usually cosmetic: peeling laminate on the door faces, a dated honey-oak finish that's worn through at the edges, hinges that look like they belong in a different decade. Refinishing goes one step further back, stripping and recoating the existing doors when the wood beneath is good but the surface finish has failed. Either route delivers a dramatically different kitchen without the demo, haul-away, and months-long disruption of a full replacement.
The refacing process starts with removing doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, then applying matching veneer to any exposed box sides so the finished result looks like new cabinetry rather than new doors on old boxes. Replacement doors and drawer fronts are spray-finished in the shop for a smooth, factory-quality surface before they're hung. New hinges and pulls are installed as part of the scope. For the refinishing path, existing doors are stripped and sanded before receiving fresh stain or paint in the shop—the same spray process, the same controlled environment. Most kitchens are back to fully usable within the project window, which typically runs under two weeks.
For Simi Valley homeowners who bought homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, cabinet refacing and refinishing is often the most practical path to a kitchen that looks current without a full remodel budget. The solid oak and maple boxes from that era were built to last, and they usually have. What a finished refacing project looks like in practice: cabinet doors that hang level, surfaces that are smooth and consistent in color, and hardware that actually matches—not the mixed collection of pulls that accumulated over twenty years of occasional fixes. Marroquin Painting and Carpentry handles the full scope so homeowners aren't coordinating between a carpenter and a painter to get it done.

Common Questions
Cabinet Refacing & Refinishing — questions we get a lot
Yes, when the boxes are structurally sound. Refacing or refinishing keeps the existing cabinet carcasses and replaces only the visible parts: doors, drawer fronts, exposed side veneer, hinges, and pulls. Typical cost runs 30-40% of a full custom replacement. The catch: if boxes are water-damaged, warped, or built from particleboard that's falling apart, refacing is throwing good money after bad and we'll tell you so.
