Cabinet refacing in Lawrence homes starts with a careful inspection of existing boxes for water damage or warping common in Douglas County’s humid continental climate. Hot summers can swell particleboard cores while cold winters dry out joints, so we select veneers and thermofoils with stable cores and proper edge banding. In neighborhoods like Old West Lawrence and Barker, many 1950s–1970s cabinets still have solid frames worth saving, letting us keep the original layout while updating fronts to match current styles near Massachusetts Street or the University of Kansas campus.
We measure every door and drawer front on site because older homes in Downtown Lawrence and the Oread area often have settled floors and out-of-square openings. Standard overlay or inset replacements rarely fit without custom adjustments. Our process includes removing old doors and drawer fronts, sanding and priming the boxes, then applying new veneer or rigid thermofoil panels that resist moisture from nearby Clinton Lake humidity. Hardware is upgraded to soft-close hinges and slides rated for daily use in family kitchens.
