Not every kitchen situation calls for the same solution. Capital Kitchen Refacing, LLC offers three service paths, each suited to a different stage of a homeowner’s needs.
Cabinet Refacing
Refacing removes and replaces cabinet faces, doors, and drawer fronts while keeping the existing cabinet boxes in place. The layout stays the same; the kitchen gets an updated look. It’s well suited for Philadelphia rowhouses and older homes where the bones are solid but the cabinetry is dated or worn.
Custom Wood Cabinets
Built to exact dimensions from real materials, custom cabinets aren’t pulled from a manufacturer catalog. Every size, species, and finish is chosen for the specific kitchen. Walt and Matt have also built bookshelves, bureaus, wall units, workspaces, TV stands, and liquor cabinets with ambient lighting. The same craft carries into every project.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
When layout changes, appliance repositioning, or a more comprehensive transformation is the goal, full kitchen remodeling in Philadelphia addresses cabinetry and overall functionality together. Walt and Matt walk through what’s possible before any work begins so homeowners have a clear picture of scope and cost.
What Sets This Work Apart from Standard Refacing
Kitchen cabinet remodeling in Philadelphia involves a wide range of contractors. A few specific decisions set Capital Kitchen Refacing, LLC apart.
- Three-quarter-inch solid wood face frames: Most refacing companies use thinner material. Walt and Matt build face frames from three-quarter-inch solid wood, producing a result that feels like new cabinetry rather than a surface overlay applied to old boxes.
- Any-size building capability: Standard cabinet manufacturers typically work in fixed three-inch increments. Capital Kitchen Refacing, LLC builds and refaces at any dimension. This is useful in the odd-width alcoves, corner layouts, and non-standard spaces common in Philadelphia homes.
- Frameless European-style cabinet refacing: Frameless cabinets mount doors and drawers directly to the cabinet box rather than to a face frame, a construction style that requires different refacing techniques. Capital Kitchen Refacing, LLC handles this system, which isn’t something every refacing contractor offers.
- Second-generation cabinet-maker background: Walt and Matt’s training shapes how they build, not just how they sell. That knowledge shows up in every material choice and installation decision.
A 4.9-Star Rating Built on Showing Up & Finishing Clean
Capital Kitchen Refacing, LLC has earned 5 Houzz Awards and 2 Houzz Badges, with an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5 on Houzz. The reviews point to the same things: Walt and Matt arrive when scheduled, finish on time, and leave the kitchen spotless at the end of each workday. When something comes up mid-project, it gets addressed immediately. The person who gives the estimate is the same person who shows up with tools. Walt or Matt walk through the space with each homeowner, talk through what they want, and provide a clear picture of what’s possible and what it costs before any commitment is made.

How a Cabinet Refacing Project Works
Every project with Capital Kitchen Refacing, LLC follows a clear sequence. Here’s what Philadelphia homeowners can expect from start to finish.

- Step 2: Remove old doors and hardware: Existing doors, drawer fronts, and molding are carefully removed to prepare for the new installation.
- Step 3: Install solid wood face frames: Custom-built three-quarter-inch solid wood face frames are fitted directly over existing cabinet boxes for a seamless appearance.
- Step 4: Finish sides, bottoms, and molding: Exposed sides and bottoms are wrapped in matching quarter-inch plywood; decorative molding is applied to cabinet tops.
- Step 5: Install soft-close drawers: New soft-close drawer slides and dovetail drawer boxes are installed in all base cabinets.
- Step 6: Hang doors, fronts, and hardware: New solid wood doors and drawer fronts are installed with the homeowner’s chosen hardware.
- Step 7: Full cleanup and walkthrough: All debris is hauled away and a final walkthrough is completed with the homeowner.
Design Guidance & Material Selection
Stain, hardware, door style, and finish are the decisions that determine what a kitchen actually looks like when the work is done. Walt and Matt walk each homeowner through those choices, working through the options until the direction reflects what the homeowner originally had in mind.
Through a partnership with Conestoga Wood Specialties, Capital Kitchen Refacing, LLC offers access to a wide range of cabinet choices: wood species, alternative surfaces, paint, stains, glazes, and finish options. The selection gives Philadelphia homeowners real flexibility without leaving them to navigate it on their own.
