Cabinet painting vs refinishing vs refacing in St. Albert
Each option fixes a different problem. Cabinet painting gives sound cabinets a new colour. Cabinet refinishing takes a worn finish back to the wood and renews it. Cabinet refacing puts new doors and drawer fronts on boxes that are still square. Use the Before and After tags under each door to compare.

St. Albert homes
Best cabinet option for St. Albert homes built before 2000
St. Albert had 25,935 occupied homes in the 2021 Census, and 17,015 of them were built between 1961 and 2000, according to Statistics Canada.
