Central Alabama cabinet refacing

Keep your cabinets. Change everything else.

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

The cabinet update is built around the parts of your kitchen worth keeping.


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.

What the work can include
New doors and drawer fronts, matching laminate on face frames and exposed sides, soft-close hinges, pulls and knobs, plus selected trim, panels, shelving, or limited cabinet conversions.

A better-looking room, in three clear moves

01

Keep the foundation.

Existing cabinet boxes and countertops stay in place when they are sound and the layout suits the way you live.

02

Make the visible parts here.

New doors and drawer fronts are made in our Alabama shop, then planned with a finish, matching laminate, and hardware.

03

Complete the change on site.

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

Same room. A completely different read.

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

Refacing is the durable middle path between paint and replacement.

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.

Style starts at the door

Made for the layout you already like.

1-piece slab

A quiet, continuous surface for a modern cabinet face.

3-piece slab

A layered construction with a more tailored, linear look.

5-piece Shaker

A familiar frame-and-panel profile with durable visual structure.

Coordinated surfaces

Door, box, and hardware selections are considered together.

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.
