Tampa Resident Saves Money with a Cabinet Refacing Alternative to Renovation

January 10, 2025

Bethany and Javon, a Tampa couple, had talked about updating their kitchen for over a year, but renovation costs were out of the budget. They put their plans on hold for a while, but it became clear they needed to take the leap and get new cabinets. Once again put off by the cost of a full renovation, Javon decided to do some research. He learned about cabinet refacing, which sounded like a great alternative.

A Google search brought up Cabinet Reface Direct Tampa in the top results. Javon visited the company's website and immersed himself in before-and-after pictures of past jobs they'd done. He was also able to read blogs that described the cabinet refacing process and, more importantly, the cost and benefits. He also saw many positive reviews from satisfied customers, so he told his wife what he'd learned. She agreed that refacing seemed like a promising way to accomplish what they wanted without the expense of having a full renovation.


Javon called Cabinet Reface Direct Tampa and spoke to a representative, who assured him that refacing was a great option as long as the current cabinets were in good shape and gave the couple the space and functionality they needed. After asking a few more questions, Javon was satisfied that Cabinet Reface Direct was the right company for the job. The representative scheduled a convenient appointment for a quote and consultation with a CRD designer.

Carlos arrived on time for the consultation, ready to help the couple design the kitchen of their dreams. He examined their current cabinets and saw that they were solid and functional. The couple's biggest complaint was the dark color, which Bethany said made her feel "down" all the time. She wanted to liven the kitchen up a bit.

Carlos showed her samples of various colors and styles and made a few suggestions. After some back and forth, Bethany and Javon decided to use a modern wood grain in Tafisa Amlam Latitude North (white). Carlos agreed they'd made a good choice, explaining that the all-white cabinets do wonders for the kitchen by visually opening up the space.

The couple asked about adding storage since they would save so much money. Carlos noted some unused space above the cabinets and said he could easily transform it into more storage. They were ecstatic and said additional storage for less-frequently used items would be an ideal addition to the kitchen.

Carlos outlined the project and gave Bethany and Javon a quote. Even with the added storage, they would save a great deal of money compared to renovation. Happy with the quote and the design for the job, they set a date for Carlos to return and do the work.

Carlos returned on the scheduled day. He gave the couple an overview of what he would be doing and an estimated timeframe for the job. He got to work immediately and removed the old cabinet doors, drawers, and hardware. He prepped the exposed surfaces and then applied the veneer, working meticulously to ensure it was flawlessly applied.

He worked over two days, installing new cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware and adding the new storage space. The installation went smoothly, and Carlos completed the job in less time than planned. After cleaning the area, he invited the couple to see the results. They were excited it was done early and eager to see their new cabinets.

Carlos watched as Bethany and Javon explored their new kitchen. The light cabinets had the effect they were after. The kitchen seemed more spacious, and the additional storage was a pleasant upgrade that would make all the difference when they organized it.

Bethany and Javon said they would recommend Cabinet Reface Direct to anyone who needed a cabinet update. Javon said he would be sure to leave a positive review on Google.
