Same layout, a kitchen that looks new
New cabinet fronts or paint, counters, backsplash, hardware and lighting, with the walls and plumbing left where they are.
When a refresh is the right call
- The layout works but everything looks tired
- The cabinet boxes are solid, the doors and finish are not
- You want new counters without a full gut
- The budget is better spent on finishes than on moving a sink
- The kitchen works on paper but feels dark and dated
Keep what works, replace what shows
If the cabinet boxes are sound and the layout suits you, a refresh can change the whole feel of the room: new doors and drawer fronts, counters, backsplash, faucet, hardware and light.
At the visit we check the boxes, the hinges and the plumbing connections. If something is past saving we say so, and you decide whether to widen the scope.
What a refresh covers
01
Fronts or paint
New doors and drawer fronts, or a professional finish over the boxes you keep.
02
Counters and backsplash
Fresh surfaces that change the look of the room without touching the plumbing.
03
Faucet, sink and hardware
New pulls, hinges and fixtures, matched so the details feel like one set.
04
Lighting swap
Updated fixtures and under-cabinet lights where the room was dark.

Questions about this work
Do I need a permit for a refresh?
A refresh that leaves gas, electrical and plumbing where they are is simpler on permits. We confirm that at the visit.
Can you refresh a kitchen with old, worn boxes?
It depends on the boxes. If they are solid we keep them. If they are not, we explain the options before you spend anything.
How long does a refresh take compared with a remodel?
Noticeably less, because walls and plumbing stay put. The schedule in the quote shows each step.
