Serving St. Louis Since 1985
Wildwood homes — especially those built in the late 1990s and early 2000s along Highway 100 and the wooded lots near Babler State Park — were often built with surprisingly good cabinet boxes. What's usually dated is what you actually see: oak doors that haven't aged well, brass hardware from a different era, or a finish that's been through two kids and a dog.
Cabinet refacing replaces everything visible — doors, drawer fronts, end panels, hardware — while keeping the structural boxes that still work. For most Wildwood kitchens, that's the smart call: a transformed look without the cost, waste, or disruption of a full tear-out.
We've been refacing kitchens for Wildwood families for years. The shop build happens off-site, the on-site install typically wraps in about a week, and the finished kitchen looks like a new one — often with better materials than the originals.

What's Included in a Wildwood Refacing Project
Handcrafted Solid Wood Doors
Built in our shop from hardwood you choose — oak, maple, cherry, walnut, or hickory. Not overlays or laminates; real wood doors with finish applied by hand.
Matching Drawer Fronts (and Optional New Boxes)
Drawer fronts match your new doors. If the existing drawer boxes are beat up or don't close well, 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 — receives a matching wood veneer so the kitchen reads as fully new.
Soft-Close Hinges and Your Hardware Choice
Concealed soft-close hinges come standard. Pulls and knobs are your pick, in whatever finish ties the kitchen together.
Practical Add-Ons
Pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, under-cabinet lighting, crown molding, trash pull-outs — anything that makes the kitchen work better while we're already on-site.

Why Wildwood Homeowners Choose Us for Refacing
Built Locally, Not Ordered In
Every door, veneer, and drawer front is built in our St. Louis workshop. Delivery delays, finish mismatches, and manufacturer defects — we avoid those by controlling the whole process ourselves.
One Week On-Site, Not One Month
Most Wildwood refacing projects install in 5–7 business days. If you're balancing school pickups, work-from-home meetings, and a busy household, that timeline matters.
Experienced with Wildwood Construction
We've refaced cabinets in plenty of Wildwood homes — we know the box styles, face-frame standards, and common quirks of builds from the 80s through the early 2000s.
An 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. Installing new doors on bad boxes isn't a favor to anyone.
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 Wildwood Refacing Process
- 01
On-Site Measure and Assessment
We come to your 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 options right there on the countertop.
- 02
Design and Selections
You receive a written quote with every door style, wood, finish, and hardware choice specified. No loose ends — 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. Everything is 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 Wildwood 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 Wildwood homes built 15–30 years ago with decent cabinet construction, that's a 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
Refacing generally costs 40–50% less than replacing your cabinets with new custom ones. Exact pricing depends on cabinet count, door style, wood species, hardware, and any add-ons. You'll receive a detailed written quote after the in-home assessment — not a moving target.
The shop build happens off-site, so the only disruption is during 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, from brass hardware to matte black, from traditional raised-panel to modern slab. Refacing is about reimagining the look, not preserving it.
We check box condition during the initial assessment, so major issues are identified before we start. If we find unexpected damage during installation, we pause, walk you through it, and agree on an approach before moving forward. No surprise charges tacked onto a final invoice.
Yes. Pull-out shelves, soft-close drawer upgrades, crown molding, under-cabinet lighting, trash pull-outs, and lazy Susans are all commonly added while we're already on-site. It's the most efficient time to make those upgrades.
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 not hard to find.
