Keep the foundation.
Existing cabinet boxes and countertops stay in place when they are sound and the layout suits the way you live.
Central Alabama cabinet refacing
A whole new kitchen look without tearing out the layout that already works. TFL Remodel makes new doors and drawer fronts in our Alabama shop, then finishes the cabinet boxes to match.

What stays
Cabinet boxes. Countertops. Plumbing. Appliances. The visible surfaces, the feel, and the function change.
A clear approach to refacing
Cabinet refacing replaces the pieces you see and use every day, while retaining sound cabinet boxes and the layout behind them. It is a practical option for dated oak, peeling thermofoil, worn paint, or builder-grade cabinetry when the room itself still works.
A better-looking room, in three clear moves
Existing cabinet boxes and countertops stay in place when they are sound and the layout suits the way you live.
New doors and drawer fronts are made in our Alabama shop, then planned with a finish, matching laminate, and hardware.
Once the doors and panels are ready, the on-site installation is typically a few days rather than weeks of tear-out.
See the change
The most useful before-and-after images come from the same camera position, with the cabinet faces and hardware doing the talking. This interactive placeholder can be replaced with a real TFL Remodel project pair.

Choose the right scope
Painting changes an existing surface. Full replacement changes the cabinetry itself. Refacing keeps solid boxes while renewing the doors, drawer fronts, exposed cabinet surfaces, and hardware.
Compare the options| Consideration | Painting | TFL refacing | Replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What changes | The existing surface is painted. | Doors, drawer fronts, exposed box surfaces, hinges, and hardware are updated. | Existing cabinets are removed and replaced. |
| On-site scope | Surface prep and coating work. | A defined installation after doors and panels are made. | Demolition and new-cabinet installation, often with more coordinated work. |
| Best fit | A finish-only refresh. | Solid boxes and a layout worth keeping. | Water-damaged boxes or a new layout. |
Style starts at the door
A quiet, continuous surface for a modern cabinet face.
A layered construction with a more tailored, linear look.
A familiar frame-and-panel profile with durable visual structure.
Coordinated surfaces
New cabinet doors should not look like an add-on. The finish plan connects the door face, the matching laminate on the cabinet boxes, and the hardware in one complete view.

Questions are part of the process
Cabinet refacing keeps the existing cabinet boxes and countertops, then updates the visible cabinet components. A typical TFL Remodel project includes new doors and drawer fronts, matching laminate on face frames and exposed sides, new hinges, and selected hardware.
Cabinets are good candidates when the boxes are solid, the layout works for how you use the room, and you want to update what you see and touch. We look at the existing cabinetry as part of the estimate and design conversation.
No. TFL is thermally fused laminate: a decorative, resin-saturated surface fused to a panel. Thermofoil is a vinyl film heat-applied over a door. TFL does not use that wrapped vinyl skin, which is why it does not have the same peeling failure associated with thermofoil.
