Refresh Your Kitchen's Look with Expert Cabinet Refacing Services
Give your kitchen a stunning makeover without tearing everything out and starting from scratch. At Armor Tough Coatings, our professional cabinet refacing services deliver a dramatic, showroom-worthy transformation by updating the visible surfaces of your existing cabinet framework. It's the intelligent middle ground between a full renovation and a simple paint job — preserving the solid bones of your cabinetry while giving your kitchen an entirely new personality. Choose from popular door styles including Shaker, Raised Panel, and Slab, pick from a wide spectrum of colors, and add upgrades like soft-close drawers for a kitchen that functions as beautifully as it looks. Backed by our 5-year warranty and annual touch-up program, you'll enjoy a like-new kitchen that holds up beautifully through years of everyday living.
New Door & Drawer Front Installation
Replacing your door and drawer fronts is the cornerstone of any cabinet refacing project, and we handle every detail with precision. We source and install new fronts that perfectly match your chosen style — whether that's sleek and contemporary, warmly traditional, or anything in between. Each piece is measured, fitted, and secured with expert care, giving your kitchen a cohesive, polished appearance from the moment you walk in.
Popular Cabinet Door Style Selection
We offer three of the most sought-after door styles in Metro Detroit kitchens: the timeless Shaker with its clean recessed center panel, the classic Raised Panel for a more traditional and dimensional look, and the sleek Slab for homeowners who love a flat, modern aesthetic. During your in-home consultation, we bring samples so you can see and feel each option in your actual space before making any decisions.
Style & Material Selection Guidance
With so many door styles, wood species, finishes, and materials to choose from, selecting the right combination can feel overwhelming. Our team walks you through the entire selection process, offering expert guidance tailored to your kitchen layout, your design preferences, and your budget. We help you visualize the finished result so you can make confident, informed decisions before a single panel is installed.
Hardware Removal & Upgrade Installation
A cabinet refacing project is the perfect opportunity to upgrade your hardware, and we make the process seamless from start to finish. We carefully remove all existing hinges, handles, and pulls before work begins and install your new hardware with precision once the refacing is complete. Whether you're choosing modern brushed nickel, classic oil-rubbed bronze, or something entirely unique, we ensure every piece is perfectly aligned and fully functional.
Protective Topcoat Finishing
Every refaced cabinet surface in your kitchen receives a final application of our industrial-grade protective topcoat. This critical finishing layer shields your new veneers and door fronts from daily exposure to moisture, grease, heat, and general wear — the very conditions that kitchen surfaces face constantly. Our protective topcoats are selected for their long-term resilience, ensuring your refaced cabinets maintain their fresh appearance for years without fading or deteriorating.
Cabinet Refacing Specialists
Achieving a flawless cabinet refacing outcome requires far more than the right materials — it demands the skill and attention of experienced professionals who take pride in their craft. At Armor Tough Coatings, our specialists bring years of hands-on expertise to every refacing project, ensuring precise cuts, perfectly aligned overlays, and immaculate installations throughout. We use industry-leading tools and follow proven techniques that eliminate common pitfalls like bubbling veneer, misaligned doors, or uneven surfaces.
Soft-Close Drawer Upgrade
Upgrade the everyday functionality of your kitchen with our soft-close drawer option. This popular add-on replaces standard drawer slides with smooth, whisper-quiet mechanisms that gently pull each drawer closed — eliminating slamming, reducing wear on your cabinet boxes, and adding a touch of luxury to your daily routine. It's a small upgrade that makes a noticeable difference every single time you use your kitchen.
Color Selection from an Extensive Palette
One of the most exciting parts of cabinet refacing is choosing your new color, and at Armor Tough Coatings, you're never limited to a handful of stock options. We offer an extensive color palette spanning warm neutrals, bold statement hues, classic whites, and everything in between. Whether you're working within an existing design scheme or building a completely new look from scratch, we help you find the exact shade that makes your kitchen feel like home.

What to Expect & How to Care for Refaced Cabinets
Choosing Armor Tough Coatings for your cabinet refacing project means stepping into a transformed kitchen that feels brand new. Here's what you should know about living with and maintaining your refaced cabinets over time:
Natural Material Characteristics
Wood veneers and quality laminates each carry their own unique visual characteristics, including subtle grain patterns, texture variations, and tonal depth. These natural qualities are part of what makes refaced cabinets feel authentic and premium — they are features, not flaws.
Cleaning & Daily Maintenance
Refaced cabinets are designed for the demands of real kitchen life, but gentle care will extend their beauty significantly. Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid steam, standing moisture near seams, and any harsh chemical solvents that could compromise the veneer adhesive or topcoat integrity over time.
Temperature & Humidity Awareness
Like all wood-based materials, cabinet veneers respond to changes in indoor climate. Maintaining consistent temperature and humidity levels throughout the year — using a humidifier in dry winter months and air conditioning during summer — helps prevent warping, lifting, or separation at edges and seams.
Our 5-Year Warranty: Confidence Built Into Every Project
At Armor Tough Coatings, the quality of our cabinet refacing work is backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty that gives you complete confidence in your investment. Our warranty covers delamination, peeling, or surface failure of applied veneers and overlays that are not the result of physical damage or misuse. If any covered issue arises during the warranty period, we return and resolve it at no charge to you.
Beyond the warranty coverage itself, we include one complimentary hour of touch-up service annually throughout the five-year term. These scheduled visits allow us to address any subtle wear before it becomes a visible concern, keeping your refaced kitchen looking sharp and well-maintained year after year. At Armor Tough Coatings, our relationship with you doesn't end at project completion — we stay invested in the long-term quality of our work because your trust in us is what drives everything we do.

Cabinet Refacing FAQs
Cabinet refacing involves replacing the door and drawer fronts and covering the existing cabinet box surfaces with new veneer or laminate material, giving the entire structure a new exterior. Cabinet refinishing, by contrast, focuses on repainting or recoating the existing surfaces without changing the physical material. Refacing is ideal when you want a new style, material, or door profile, while refinishing suits those who love their current layout and just want a refreshed color.
