Affordable Cabinet Refacing

Affordable Cabinet Refacing works out of Andover and covers eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, refacing and painting kitchen cabinets and building closet systems and garage cabinets. It holds Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration 195565, verified active in the state registry, and carries an A+ Better Business Bureau grade. The office side is handled by Debra, who calls back personally and does the in-home measure; Shawn is named as the owner. The job these customers keep describing is the same one: old cabinet boxes that are structurally sound with doors that are peeling, dated or beyond repainting. A June 2026 customer put it plainly — the boxes were fine, the doors could not be repainted, and refacing gave them a kitchen that looked new for a fraction of a full replacement. Another had cabinets that were original to a 1962 house; a March 2022 reviewer had 36-year-old cherry cabinets taken from dark to bright without a gut renovation. Speed is a recurring theme. A January 2025 customer was quoted in late November, measured shortly after, scheduled for 13 January, and had a crew arrive at 8am and finish a day ahead of the estimate. An August 2025 reviewer's kitchen was done in three days, and an October 2024 job took two and a half. Installers are named again and again — Matthew, Justin, Jack, Guy, Bob and Michael — usually alongside a comment about long days, daily cleanup and covering the rest of the house. The finish work draws the most specific praise. A January 2026 customer said their existing cabinets were crooked and the installer somehow made everything look even, with no visible seams in the molding. A 2024 customer redesigned the kitchen layout entirely and had new custom upper cabinets built into the job. Several reviewers mention getting several quotes and finding this one significantly lower, and more than one describes a no-pressure estimate — including someone who did not hire them and still wrote a positive review. After-sale service comes up more than once. An October 2024 customer whose doors had started delaminating from a manufacturing defect about four years after installation wrote in about repairs and replacement, and an August 2025 reviewer went back a year later after work on an adjoining wall. If you are weighing this, the practical questions are what the door warranty covers and for how long, and whether your boxes are sound enough to reface rather than replace.
