Absolutely not! RefacePlus is the absolute cleanest method of refacing kitchens. All sanding and finishing is performed in the shop before we get to your home, so it's virtually 'mess free'. All face-frames and side panels are precisely cut to your kitchen dimensions. We simply remove the existing face-frames, secure the 1/4" thick cabinets side panels, then add the new 3/4" thick Solid Wood face-frames. New doors and drawers are then added.
