Cabinet Refacing
Cabinet refacing replaces all your door and drawer fronts and applies new matching veneer to the exposed cabinet surfaces — while keeping the structurally sound existing boxes in place. It's the smartest option when your kitchen layout works, your cabinet frames are solid, but the dated oak, honey oak, or worn finish makes the whole room feel old.
We reface over solid wood, plywood, and particle-board box construction. Door styles range from classic shaker and raised-panel to slab, beadboard, and glass-insert options. Wood species available include white oak, natural maple, cherry, birch, and paint-grade MDF. Soft-close hinges, new drawer boxes, and updated hardware are all available as part of the project.
- Replace cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and exposed veneers without tearing out boxes
- Change door style entirely — oak to shaker, raised panel to slab, and more
- Significant cost savings vs. full kitchen cabinet replacement
- Typical on-site time 4–10 days; far less disruption than a full remodel
- Available in every color — white, navy, sage green, two-tone, natural wood
Cabinet Painting
Professional cabinet painting uses a spray-applied, cabinet-grade coating system — not brush-and-roll — to deliver a smooth, durable finish that holds up to daily kitchen use. Doors and drawer fronts are removed and finished off-site or in place with proper enclosures. The result looks factory-finished, not DIY.
This is the right solution when your door style is worth keeping but the color is the problem. Whether you're painting over dated honey oak, dark cherry, yellowed maple, or builder-grade white, professional kitchen cabinet painting delivers a complete visual transformation at the most affordable price point. Two-tone finishes, glazed effects, and custom color matching are all available.
- Spray-applied cabinet coating — no brush marks, no texture
- Any color: white, off-white, navy, sage, grey, black, two-tone
- Works on maple, oak, cherry, MDF, and most painted surfaces
- Proper prep — cleaning, deglosing, priming — included in every job
- Durable, chip-resistant finish formulated specifically for cabinetry
Cabinet Refinishing
Cabinet refinishing strips the existing finish down to bare wood, repairs any surface damage, and applies new stain and multiple clear-coat layers for a factory-fresh result. This is the right service for solid wood cabinets that have yellowed, cracked, peeled, or faded — where the wood itself is beautiful and worth preserving.
Common refinishing projects include changing a dated honey-oak stain to a richer espresso or walnut, refreshing clear-coated maple that has gone yellow, repairing water-damaged cabinet surfaces, and restoring heirloom-quality hardwood kitchens. Unlike painting, refinishing lets the natural wood grain show through. Stain color changes are possible in most cases.
- Preserves and enhances real wood grain — not covered like paint
- Change stain color: lighter, darker, or completely different tone
- Surface damage repair — scratches, water marks, worn finish — included
- Applied to oak, maple, cherry, birch, hickory, and most hardwoods
- Sealed with a durable topcoat: conversion varnish, lacquer, or oil-based finish
Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel is the right choice when the layout needs to change — a broken work triangle, not enough storage, a cramped galley that needs to open up, or cabinet boxes that are failing and can't be salvaged. Homestead manages partial and full kitchen renovations, coordinating all necessary trades under one point of contact.
Remodeling projects range from a targeted partial remodel (replacing a peninsula, adding an island, or upgrading just the upper cabinets) all the way to a full gut renovation with new cabinet layout, countertop installation, backsplash tile, plumbing relocation, and updated electrical. We work with homeowners across Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut on projects from $15,000 to $50,000+.
- New cabinet layout design — improve storage, workflow, and traffic flow
- Countertop supply and installation: quartz, granite, laminate, butcher block
- Backsplash tile design and installation
- Sink, faucet, and plumbing updates coordinated
- One point of contact through every stage of the project
Custom Cabinetry
Custom cabinetry is designed and built to your exact space, door style, wood species, and interior configuration. When standard box-store sizes don't fit your kitchen, when you need a pantry that doesn't exist yet, or when you want an island built to your exact floor plan — custom is the answer.
Homestead builds and installs kitchen islands, floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets, built-in bookshelves, mudroom bench and cubby systems, ceiling-height upper extensions, home office built-ins, and complete custom kitchens. We can match existing cabinet style exactly for additions, or design an entirely new look from scratch. All species available: white oak, maple, cherry, walnut, birch, and paint-grade.
- Designed to fit odd dimensions, sloped ceilings, and awkward layouts
- Custom kitchen islands — any size, any configuration, any finish
- Ceiling-height cabinet extensions to close soffit gaps and gain storage
- Built-in pantry cabinets with pull-out shelves and organizers
- Mudroom cubbies, home office built-ins, entertainment centers
- Match existing cabinets exactly for seamless additions
Storage & Functional Upgrades
Storage upgrades transform the inside of your existing cabinets — better organization, better access, and better function. Pull-out shelves replace fixed shelves so you can see and reach everything in a base cabinet. Full-extension drawer slides bring the entire drawer out so the back is fully accessible. Soft-close hinges and slides eliminate slamming and extend hinge life significantly.
These upgrades are available as add-ons to any refacing, painting, or remodeling project, or as standalone installs into existing cabinetry. Common upgrades include: roll-out tray organizers for base cabinets, trash and recycling pull-out units, kidney and lazy Susan replacements for corner cabinets, spice rack drawers, pan dividers, cutlery inserts, and full replacement of worn wooden drawer boxes with dove-tail maple construction.
- Pull-out shelves and roll-out trays for base and pantry cabinets
- Soft-close hinges and full-extension soft-close drawer slides
- Replacement drawer boxes — dovetailed maple solid-wood construction
- Corner cabinet solutions: lazy Susans, kidney pull-outs, blind corner organizers
- Trash and recycling pull-out cabinets, appliance lifts, spice drawers
