Renuity installs kitchen cabinet refacing for Washington, DC homeowners: replacement doors, drawer fronts, matching veneer on the cabinet box faces, and new hardware throughout. Licensed and insured crews handle everything on-site with no demolition, no plumbing disruption, and no appliance removal.
Refacing updates every visible surface in the kitchen at a fraction of full replacement cost, with the work completing in days rather than weeks. The cabinet boxes, countertops, appliances, and plumbing stay exactly where they are, which keeps the kitchen usable from start to finish.
What goes into a Washington, DC refacing project
The scope covers the parts of the cabinetry that are actually visible, such as the doors, drawer fronts, the exposed faces of the cabinet boxes, and all hardware. The structural boxes, countertops, sink, plumbing, and existing layout are untouched throughout the process.
Those structural components outlast the surface materials by a significant margin. Refacing targets what actually wears out first, replacing it with materials engineered for long-term performance rather than rebuilding structure that has years of reliable use remaining. For DC homeowners in older row houses or condos with intact cabinet boxes, that distinction matters both for managing cost and project scope.
Door styles and finishes
Available door profiles include shaker, raised-panel, flat-panel, and transitional styles, with finishes spanning wood-grain textures and a range of solid color options. Hardware coordinates with the selected door style and includes pulls, knobs, soft-close hinges, and smooth-action drawer glides.
Doors and drawer fronts are factory-finished before arrival, which means consistent color and surface quality across every cabinet. The veneer applied to the box faces is matched to the door finish so the two read as one continuous surface rather than two separate materials placed side by side.
How the material durability holds up in DC
On-site paint cures under whatever conditions exist in the kitchen that day, and that can create problems. DC's humid summers create inconsistent film adhesion and edge coverage, which leads to peeling, cracking, or color shift within a few years. Refinishing layers new material over an existing surface, which means any underlying failures carry forward into the finished result.
Full replacement produces comparable door and drawer front durability to refacing because both draw from the same factory finishing processes. When the cabinet boxes themselves are structurally sound, refacing delivers equivalent visible surface performance without the cost or timeline of replacing structure that doesn't need replacing.

How a DC refacing project runs
A Renuity representative visits to measure the cabinetry, walk through door profiles, finish options, and hardware selections, and present the estimate on the spot. There are no follow-up appointments required before scheduling.
Once the project is on the calendar, the installation crew preps the cabinet box faces, applies the veneer, hangs the new doors and drawer fronts, and installs all hardware. The kitchen stays functional throughout, and the finished space is ready for normal use the day installation wraps.
