Cabinet Installation & Refacing FAQ for Durham Homeowners

How often should Durham homeowners get cabinet installation & refacing?
Given Durham's hot, humid summers averaging 88°f with afternoon thunderstorms, most homeowners benefit from cabinet installation & refacing at least once a year. Red clay stain removal from driveways and siding (year-round) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Durham most need cabinet installation & refacing?
Brick ranch homes throughout Durham County and Victorian and craftsman homes in Trinity Park, Watts-Hillandale are the most common home types in Durham and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
What's the difference between stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinets?
Stock: pre-built in standard sizes, lowest cost, available immediately. Semi-custom: more sizes and options, 4–8 week lead time. Custom: built to exact specifications for unusual spaces or high-end projects, 8–16 week lead time and highest cost.
What is cabinet refacing?
Refacing replaces cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and applies new veneer to cabinet box exteriors — keeping the existing boxes in place. It costs 40–60% less than full replacement and takes 3–5 days vs. 2–3 weeks.
How long does cabinet installation take?
A full kitchen cabinet replacement takes 2–3 days for a typical kitchen. Countertop installation follows after cabinets are set, adding another 1–2 days once countertops are fabricated.
Can I install cabinets myself?
Skilled DIYers can handle stock cabinet installation. However, ensuring cabinets are level, plumb, and square — especially around irregular floors and walls — is challenging. Mistakes are expensive to fix once countertops are in.
