When it comes to remodeling your kitchen, there is a fast and affordable option you should consider: refacing. The industry has evolved significantly over the past 20 years, led by innovative entrepreneurs like Jason Hicks of Northeast Ohio’s American Wood Reface.

“Homeowners now understand the benefits of refacing,” Jason says. “We offer total kitchen transformations—but without the messy tear-out of cabinet replacement—for as little as half the cost of new cabinets. And we complete most projects in 7-8 days instead of 7-8 weeks. You get a gorgeous kitchen with all of the modern amenities, but without going over your budget.”

The professional carpenters at American Wood Reface also extend cabinets to the ceiling, make modifications to fit larger appliances, and add islands and peninsulas.

“The time and money you save can go toward things that are really important,” Jason says, “like appliance upgrades, new countertops, flooring, an undermount sink, lighting, and converting bottom cabinets to drawer banks.”

Despite its name, American Wood Reface also installs new countertops (including quartz and granite) and gorgeous tile backsplashes.

“We’re affordable, yes, but we don’t do ‘cheap” Jason explains. “We use only high-quality materials, including new solid-hardwood doors and premium 1/4-inch solid wood facing. Plus, our craftsmen are the finest in the industry.”

And others agree. The company has won a NARI Contractor of the Year Award five times and has more than 100 Google reviews with a 5-star average. Its excellence is also recognized by popular home contractor review sites.

Jason says it’s a good idea to replace bottom cabinets with drawer banks.

American Wood Reface brings the showroom to you and doesn’t charge for an in-home consultation and estimate. And they handle everything so you can avoid juggling five different contractors.

“Our number one goal is to give our clients a high-quality finished project,” Jason says. “But beyond that, we are also driven to make the process fast, affordable and fun. There’s absolutely no reason you cannot have a kitchen you absolutely love.”
