Cabinet Refacing in Chilliwack
& The Fraser Valley
Professional cabinet refacing for a revived, new look.
IIf your cabinet boxes are in good shape but the doors look dated, cabinet refacing can give you a “new kitchen” feel without changing your layout. Refacing focuses on the components you see most—doors, drawer fronts, and exposed cabinet surfaces—so the space looks modern, clean, and cohesive.
Led by owner Nick Garneau with over 15+ years of experience, and supported by a detail-driven team, Elevation Painting helps homeowners choose the right upgrade path and delivers a professional result with clear communication from start to finish.

When Cabinet Refacing Is The Right Choice
Cabinet refacing isn’t the right fit for every space, but it can be an excellent option when the “bones” of your cabinetry are still worth keeping. It’s often ideal when your cabinet boxes are solid and properly installed, but you want a new door style (such as shaker, flat panel, or a more modern profile), your existing doors are warped or mismatched, or you want a big visual change without changing the layout. Refacing is also a good choice if you want less downtime and disruption than a full remodel. If we find that your cabinet boxes are water-damaged, out of square, or failing structurally, we’ll tell you upfront and give you alternative options.
Doors, Drawer fronts, and Hardware Upgrades
The most noticeable change in a refacing project comes from replacing doors and drawer fronts. This is where you can move from older profiles to clean modern styles, improve function, and create a more intentional look across the whole kitchen.
Hardware is often upgraded at the same time, because new doors paired with old handles can make the kitchen feel unfinished. We’ll help you choose options that match your style goals and work well with the lighting and finishes already in your home.
Seamless Results: Matching Cabinet Boxes
A successful refacing project doesn’t look like “new doors on old cabinets.” Visible cabinet ends, toe kicks, and exposed surfaces must be addressed so the kitchen looks consistent from every angle.
Our team focuses on the details that make the finish look complete—clean lines, smooth transitions, and a cohesive final appearance. If you’re combining refacing with painting (common for a modern, uniform colour), we’ll plan the workflow so everything looks like it was done as one integrated upgrade.

Cabinet refacing FAQ
-
Cabinet refacing updates the look of your kitchen by replacing cabinet doors and drawer fronts and updating visible exterior surfaces, while keeping the existing cabinet boxes. It’s a popular option when the cabinet structure is still in good condition.
-
Often, cabinet refacing is cheaper than replacing cabinets because you keep the cabinet boxes and avoid full demolition and cabinet replacement. Cost depends on door materials, hardware upgrades, and how much of the exterior needs to be updated.
-
Timelines vary based on the size of the project, the selections you choose, and scheduling for components. After an assessment, we’ll provide a clear timeline and expectations.
-
If cabinet boxes are water-damaged, unstable, or out of square, refacing may not be worth the investment. In those cases, we’ll recommend a better long-term solution.
-
It depends on your goals. If you want a new door style, refacing is often the best fit; if you want a colour change, painting may be the best value; if you want to preserve a natural wood look, refinishing is usually the right choice.
-
Bathrooms have higher humidity and tighter clearances, so component fit and material choices matter. We factor in moisture exposure and daily use so your updated vanity looks great and performs well long-term.
