Serving St. Louis Since 1985
A huge share of Ballwin's homes were built from the 1970s through the 1990s — the subdivisions along Manchester Road, Clayton Road, and Kehrs Mill Road — and many of them share the same story: solid cabinet boxes topped with dated oak doors, worn finishes, and hardware from the decade they were built. That combination makes Ballwin one of the best places we work for cabinet refacing.
Refacing replaces everything you see — doors, drawer fronts, exposed cabinet surfaces, and hardware — while keeping the structural boxes that still do their job. For the typical Ballwin kitchen with sound builder-grade boxes, it's the smart call: a complete visual transformation without the waste, cost, and disruption of a full tear-out.
The shop build happens off-site, so the only real disruption is the on-site installation week. Most Ballwin refacing projects wrap in 5–7 business days on-site, and the finished kitchen looks brand new — often with better materials than the builder originally installed.
Cabinet Refacing Work in Ballwin
A selection of cabinet refacingprojects we've completed for homeowners in Ballwin and the surrounding communities.
What's Included in a Ballwin Refacing Project
Handcrafted Solid Wood Doors
Built in our shop from the hardwood you choose — oak, maple, cherry, walnut, or hickory. Real wood doors with hand-applied finish, not thermofoil overlays or laminates.
Matching Drawer Fronts and Optional Boxes
Drawer fronts match your new doors. If the original builder-grade drawer boxes are worn or don't close well — common in Ballwin homes — we can replace them with dovetailed hardwood boxes and soft-close glides during the same visit.
Veneered Visible Surfaces
Every exposed surface — cabinet ends, face frames, filler panels — gets a matching wood veneer so the kitchen reads as fully new.
Soft-Close Hinges and Your Hardware
Concealed soft-close hinges come standard. You pick the pulls and knobs in whatever finish ties the kitchen together.
Family-Friendly Add-Ons
Pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, trash pull-outs, under-cabinet lighting, and crown molding — practical upgrades that make a busy family kitchen work better while we're already on-site.
Shop-Applied Finish
Every door and front is finished in our climate-controlled shop, so your home avoids the fumes and dust of on-site refinishing.

Why Ballwin Homeowners Choose Us for Refacing
Experienced with Ballwin Construction
We've refaced plenty of Ballwin kitchens. We know the box styles and face-frame standards of builds from the 70s through the 90s, and how to make builder-grade boxes look custom.
One Week On-Site, Not One Month
Most Ballwin refacing projects install in 5–7 business days. For families balancing school runs, work, and activities, that short timeline matters.
Built Locally, Not Ordered In
Every door, veneer, and drawer front is built in our St. Louis workshop — so we avoid the delivery delays, finish mismatches, and manufacturer defects that come with catalog orders.
Honest Assessment First
If your boxes aren't a good fit for refacing — water damage, warped frames, low-quality original construction — we'll say so and recommend a different path. New doors on bad boxes help no one.
The Same Materials We Use in Custom Builds
Our refacing work uses the same hardwoods, hardware, and finishes as our new-build kitchens. Same quality; different scope.
Our Ballwin Refacing Process
- 01
On-Site Measure and Assessment
We come to your Ballwin home, measure every cabinet, and check the condition of the boxes. If refacing is the right call, we walk you through door styles, wood species, finishes, and hardware right there at your counter.
- 02
Design and Selections
You receive a written design plan with every door style, wood, finish, and hardware choice specified. What you approve is exactly what we build.
- 03
Shop Build and Finishing
Your doors, drawer fronts, veneers, and any added pieces are built and finished by hand in our shop, then labeled by cabinet and staged for installation day.
- 04
Installation — About a Week
Installers arrive with everything pre-built. Old doors off, new doors on, boxes veneered, hardware installed, cleanup handled before we leave. Most on-site work wraps in 5–7 business days.
A Word from Our Clients
Very happy I found this company. They went above and beyond. They gave good advice and got the job done. I am a very satisfied customer — I wish I had found this company years ago.
Is Refacing the Right Choice for Your Ballwin Home?
Refacing is almost always the right call when your cabinet boxes are structurally solid, you like your kitchen layout, and you want the kitchen to feel new without the full-remodel disruption. For the many Ballwin homes built 25–50 years ago with decent box construction, that's a very common fit.
Refacing isn't the right answer if you want to change the layout, move the island, or replace boxes that are damaged or poorly built. For those projects, a full kitchen remodel makes more sense — and we build those too. If we visit your home and refacing isn't what you need, we'll tell you directly rather than sell you on it.

Our name is on every piece we build.
Every project runs through our own shop, our own finishers, and our own install crew — no subcontractors, no handoffs, no catalog cabinets arriving in a box. The cabinetry you approve on paper is the cabinetry that arrives at your door. And we've been easy to find since 1985 — still are.
Frequently Asked Questions
Usually, yes — provided the boxes are structurally sound, which they often are in Ballwin homes from the 70s through the 90s. Refacing keeps the boxes and replaces everything you see: doors, fronts, veneer, and hardware. The result looks custom, even when the original cabinets were builder-grade. We confirm box condition during the assessment.
The shop build happens off-site, so the only disruption is the on-site installation week — typically 5–7 business days. We install in sections, so you generally keep access to your sink and at least some storage throughout.
Absolutely — and most clients do. You can go from oak to painted white, swap brass for matte black, and add pull-out shelves, soft-close upgrades, crown molding, and under-cabinet lighting. It's the most efficient time to make those upgrades, since we're already on-site.
Yes. Our refacing work comes with a written warranty on the doors, finishes, and hardware. We've been a local business since 1985, so if you ever need us back, we're easy to find.
