Cabinet refacing careers in Chicagoland and Wisconsin
We hire installers, designers, project managers and office staff who take pride in careful work and respect the homes they work in.
Work in a trade built on careful work
Refacello is a cabinet refacing company with a headquarters and design center in Wood Dale, IL, and showrooms in St. Charles, IL, Madison, WI and New Berlin, WI. Our designers and crews work in homes across Chicagoland and southern Wisconsin.
We focus on one kind of work and try to do it well: clean veneer seams, doors that hang straight, and kitchens left as tidy as we found them. If that’s how you like to work, we’d like to hear from you.
Openings change through the year. If you don’t see an exact fit below, send your resume anyway and tell us what you’re good at.
