Frequently Asked Questions

Cabinet refacing updates the appearance by replacing doors and drawer fronts while keeping existing cabinet boxes, making it faster and more budget-friendly when boxes are solid. New custom cabinets involve complete replacement with tailored sizing, layout changes, and storage optimization. At Contractors Cabinet Company, we assess your cabinet structure and goals to recommend the best path forward.

The process starts with a consultation to discuss layout, storage needs, and style preferences, followed by material selection in our showroom. We then build the cabinets in-house, install them, and complete a final walkthrough to ensure quality. At Contractors Cabinet Company, we coordinate cabinet sizing, finish, and hardware to fit your exact space and remodel goals.

Thermofoil refacing works well for modern, streamlined designs and easy-to-maintain surfaces, offering consistent color and a smooth finish. Wood refacing provides classic versatility with stain or paint options and a premium, natural feel. Visit our Margate showroom to compare door styles and finishes side-by-side before deciding.

Cost depends on cabinet selection, countertop material (granite or quartz), flooring type, lighting upgrades, and layout changes. Custom cabinetry, premium hardware, and specialty storage add to investment but improve function and longevity. At Contractors Cabinet Company, we help align your budget with priorities by pairing materials and guiding finish packages in our showroom.

Coordinating countertops and cabinets creates a cohesive look and ensures proper measurements, templates, and installation timing. Matching granite or quartz to cabinet door style, hardware finish, and lighting tone elevates the overall design. We recommend visiting our showroom to view cabinet-countertop combinations and finalize selections before fabrication begins.

Porcelain offers superior durability and moisture resistance, making it ideal for high-traffic kitchens and bathrooms in South Florida's humid climate. Ceramic provides good everyday performance with a wider range of finish options at a lower price point. Both integrate well during full remodels to avoid repeated disruptions and coordinate with cabinet and countertop finishes.

Many overlook storage and lighting placement, which reduces usability and leaves the space feeling cramped or dim. Selecting moisture-ready materials and coordinating vanity, countertop, flooring, and hardware early prevents delays and mismatched finishes. At Contractors Cabinet Company, we define scope and material selections upfront to keep projects smooth and aligned with your vision.

Refacing works best when existing cabinet boxes are solid, structurally sound, and free from water damage or warping. If boxes are compromised, new custom cabinets provide better long-term value and allow layout improvements. We assess box condition during a consultation to confirm whether refacing or replacement is the right solution.

Upgrading lighting and hardware early ensures finish consistency, prevents installation delays, and maximizes the visual impact of new cabinets and countertops. Coordinating knob, pull, and lighting finishes with cabinet tone and countertop style creates a polished, intentional design. Choose these elements during material selection to avoid last-minute compromises.

Timeline depends on project scope, material lead times, and coordination across cabinets, countertops, flooring, and lighting. Pre-start planning, clear material selections, and phased scheduling reduce downtime and surprises. At Contractors Cabinet Company, we define a remodel roadmap during consultation and communicate updates throughout to keep projects on track.

A showroom visit lets you compare wood and thermofoil door styles, view finish options in person, and touch materials to assess quality and feel. Seeing cabinet-countertop-hardware combinations helps you make confident decisions aligned with your home's design and budget. Bring photos and measurements to our Margate showroom for guided planning and a detailed estimate.

Both granite and quartz perform excellently in Florida's humid climate when properly sealed and installed with clean seams and support. Granite offers natural variation and classic appeal, while quartz provides consistent modern styling and low maintenance. At Contractors Cabinet Company, we coordinate fabrication and installation timing within your remodel to ensure professional, lasting results.
