Project Overview – A Cohesive Transformation in Oceanside
The owner of this Oceanside home was ready for a comprehensive and modern refresh. The kitchen and bathroom cabinets, with their dated 80s-era flat-panel doors and wood trim, were preventing the home from feeling current and bright. A full gut renovation of both spaces was not ideal, so they opted for a smarter, more efficient solution: cabinet refacing. Our team was tasked with completely modernizing both the kitchen and the bathroom by replacing all the old doors and professionally refinishing all cabinet surfaces in a clean, timeless white.
Our Cabinet Refacing service is the perfect strategy to achieve a cohesive, modern aesthetic throughout your home in a cost-effective and minimally disruptive way.
Features of the Refacing Project
Service: Comprehensive cabinet refacing and refinishing for a full kitchen and a master bathroom double vanity.
The Transformation: All old, dated flat-panel doors were removed and replaced with new, custom-sized, and exceptionally popular Shaker-style doors.
Material & Finish: The new doors were crafted from solid, durable Maple wood. A flawless, bright white painted finish was applied to the new doors as well as all existing cabinet boxes and face frames in both rooms for a perfectly seamless look.
Cohesive Design: By applying the same white Shaker style to both the kitchen and bathroom cabinets, we created a clean, harmonious, and unified design language that flows through the home.
A Smart Renovation: This approach allowed the homeowner to achieve the look of a brand-new kitchen and bathroom while preserving the structurally sound cabinet boxes and, in the bathroom, the existing granite countertop and sinks.
Design Challenges & Solutions – A Modern Update in Oceanside
Challenge: The primary objective was to completely eradicate the dated look of the original cabinets and create a bright, modern, and cohesive feel across two separate, high-traffic rooms. The refinishing work on the existing cabinet boxes had to be flawless to ensure they were indistinguishable from the brand-new doors, creating a uniform, factory-quality appearance.
Solution: Our meticulous refacing process was the key to this project’s success. After removing all the old doors and hardware, our expert finishing team carefully prepared, primed, and sprayed the cabinet frames in both the kitchen and bathroom with a high-adhesion, durable white paint. We then installed the new, precisely-measured Maple Shaker doors and modern hardware. This process didn’t just put a new face on the old cabinets; it completely transformed them, turning a tired, dated style into a bright, clean, and classic look that adds significant value to the home.
This project highlights how our Kitchen Remodeling and Bathroom & Laundry expertise can be combined for a total home refresh.

“Refacing our kitchen and bathroom cabinets at the same time was such a great decision. Our whole home feels brighter, cleaner, and more connected now. The new Shaker doors make it look like a brand-new custom home, and we couldn’t be happier.” – Oceanside Homeowner

Questions You May Have
Yes, it is an excellent strategy for creating a cohesive, harmonious, and high-end feel throughout your home. It creates a sense of intentional design and makes the entire space feel more unified and thoughtfully planned.
The white Shaker style is arguably the most popular choice for this. The clean, simple lines of the Shaker door combined with a bright white finish reflect light beautifully, making any space feel larger, cleaner, and more open.
Yes, in most cases, you can. As this project shows, refacing allows you to completely update the look of your vanity base without needing to remove or replace your existing countertop and sinks, which can lead to significant savings.
Refacing is a much more comprehensive and transformative upgrade. Instead of just painting over old, dated door styles, refacing gives you brand-new, modern-style doors (like Shaker). This completely changes the architectural look of your cabinets, providing a much higher-end and more durable result than painting alone.
