Cherry Creek homes tend toward higher-end finishes and custom kitchens, which means a straight color refresh isn’t always the right fit. For a lot of Cherry Creek kitchens, refacing, new custom doors and drawer fronts on your existing cabinet boxes, is the better match for the level of finish these homes already have.
Refacing gives you a genuinely new kitchen look, custom doors, new hardware, a different style entirely, without touching the layout or the cost of a full remodel. It’s a natural fit for a neighborhood where the bar for finish quality is already high.
Resurfacing is still available where it’s the right call. We’ll tell you honestly which option fits your kitchen at the consultation, not just push the higher-margin one.
Our shop and spray facility are in Fort Collins. We travel into Denver for Cherry Creek consultations, pickup, and delivery.
Where we work in and around Cherry Creek
Cabinet Refacing installs new, custom-made doors and drawer fronts on your existing cabinet boxes, a full style change without a new layout or a full remodel. Cabinet Resurfacing updates the color and finish on cabinets you keep, when that’s the better fit for the kitchen.
Cabinet resurfacing updates the color and finish of your existing cabinets while keeping their current style.
Using premium contractor-grade products and proven techniques, we restore and refresh your cabinetry for a durable, long-lasting finish.
This process also includes repairing minor damage caused by years of use, giving your cabinets a renewed look without the high cost of replacement.
Cabinet refacing replaces your cabinet doors and drawer fronts with new, custom-made designs while maintaining your existing cabinet boxes.
This allows you to completely transform the look and feel of your kitchen, without changing the footprint.
With contractor-grade materials and a factory-quality finish, refacing gives you the beauty of brand-new cabinetry at a fraction of the cost of a full remodel.
A typical project runs around $9,000, against roughly $4,500 for a painter and $35,000 for a full cabinet replacement. Custom refacing on a larger or more detailed kitchen can run above that baseline. We’ll walk through the real number at your in-home quote.
A painted finish needs redoing every four to five years. Three repaints over fifteen years lands near $13,500, and still won’t match the durability of a sprayed finish or new refaced doors. Ours carries a ten-year warranty.

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences we have had with a home project. The entire team was kind, professional, and so attentive to detail. Our kitchen now looks completely brand new, we honestly cannot believe the transformation! They went above and beyond, especially with the top of the cabinets, and the final result looks like it was always part of the original build.

A job well done! The finish is beautiful. The staff prepared me well for what to expect during the week that they worked. Jim the co-owner supervised the project and handled the finishing touches. Great attention to detail. Jen, the other co-owner, comes to the house to help with colors and other decisions and gives the final price which we felt was very fair.

Summit Cabinet Coatings is excellent at what they do, and we love the end result of our refacing project. They take care in their work, and were great at communicating with us, making sure we knew all of the steps in the project, that we understood the schedule, and that we had what we needed in making any design decisions.
