New doors, drawer fronts and hardware on the cabinets you already have, installed in 3–5 days. Free in-home consultations in Chicago and seven suburban counties.
Refacello provides cabinet refacing in Illinois for Chicago and the suburbs in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will, McHenry and Kendall counties. Our headquarters and design center is in Wood Dale, near O’Hare, and our second Illinois showroom is in St. Charles.
Refacing leaves your cabinet boxes where they are. We replace the doors and drawer fronts, cover the frames and end panels with matching veneer, and install new hinges and hardware. A typical kitchen takes 3–5 days, and your sink and appliances stay connected unless you’re replacing countertops too.
It’s the right fit if you like your layout but not the way the kitchen looks, and it typically costs 30–50% less than replacing with comparable new cabinets. For a closer look at the trade-offs, read refacing vs. replacing cabinets.
These are some of the communities in our Illinois service area. Neighboring towns in the same counties are covered too; call if you’re not sure.
Most Illinois kitchens we’re asked to look at fall into a few familiar types. Here’s how refacing usually fits each one.
Bungalow kitchens sit at the back of the house and tend to be narrow, with windows, radiators and walls that aren’t quite square. Refacing keeps that tight footprint working, and recessed-panel doors in a painted finish suit the Arts and Crafts woodwork many bungalows still have.
Typical areas: the Northwest and Southwest Sides, Oak Park, Berwyn
These kitchens often have site-built or early factory cabinets with face frames, sometimes tucked under a soffit. When the boxes are sound, new doors, veneered frames, soft-close hinges and under-cabinet lighting bring them up to date without tearing anything out.
Typical areas: Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Elk Grove Village, Lombard, Downers Grove
Golden oak raised-panel doors on sturdy boxes are the signature of this era. Swapping them for Shaker or slab doors in a painted finish, RTF or a darker wood veneer is a straightforward refacing job, often paired with new countertops.
Typical areas: Naperville, Plainfield, Aurora, Lake and McHenry counties

Yes. We reface cabinets in Chicago houses, two-flats and condos. In a condo or high-rise, tell your designer about work-hour rules, elevator reservations or insurance paperwork so your project manager can plan around them.
Whichever is easier to reach. Wood Dale is handier for Chicago, the north and northwest suburbs and eastern DuPage County; St. Charles is handier for the Fox Valley and the far west suburbs. A visit is optional either way, since the designer brings samples to your home.
Yes. Consultations are free and without obligation in all seven counties, including Will, McHenry and Kendall.
Usually, yes. Walls in older homes are rarely perfectly square, so fillers, end panels and trim are fitted on site to close the gaps. Your designer will point out anything unusual during the consultation.
Not long. Installation of a typical kitchen takes 3–5 days, and the kitchen stays mostly usable throughout. The sink and appliances stay connected unless countertops are being replaced. See our process for each step.
A designer comes to your home with door samples, finishes and hardware, measures your cabinets and leaves a written, itemized quote. It’s free, and there’s no pressure to decide that day.
