A good refacing company should follow most of these steps:
Initial meeting with a designer
Measurements are taken of your kitchen
Detailed design plan prepared
Once approved, doors, drawer fronts and matching hardwood or laminate panels are manufactured in the company factory
On the day of installation, floors and entryways to the kitchen are protected
Old doors, drawer fronts, hardware and gliders are removed
All moldings, valance, trim pieces are also removed
If you are having your countertops replaced, then the sink will be disconnected and the counters removed (ask what happens to the debris, as this can be recycled)
The cleared kitchen is inspected and any defects repaired
Veneer is applied to the exterior surfaces of the cabinets, underside of wall cabinets, stiles, rails and returns
New cabinet doors, drawer fronts, boxes, pullouts, moldings and valances are installed
New sliders, hardware, concealed hinges and accessories are installed
If countertops are being replaced, new countertops, sink and faucet installed
