What to know about Cabinet refacing
Refacing keeps the cabinet boxes and changes everything you can see. New doors and drawer fronts are made to the existing openings, the face frames and exposed end panels are covered with a matching veneer or laminate, new hinges and pulls go on, and the kitchen reads as new while the layout, the plumbing and the countertops stay exactly where they are. It is a one-trade job in an occupied house that usually runs in days rather than weeks.

- Removal of what's there now
- Permits and drawings, where needed
How to choose cabinet installers in Wilmington
- Choose a carpenter whose past work matches your project, whether that's framing, trim, built-ins, stairs or a deck.
- Ask for drawings or a clear description of what will be built, including materials and finishes.
- For decks, stairs and railings, ask whether a permit is needed, since these are safety items.
- Get a written quote that says who supplies materials and whether finishing, such as painting or staining, is included.
- Ask how they'll handle surprises like rot or uneven walls and floors.
Questions to ask cabinet installers before you hire
- Can you show me photos of similar work you've done?
- What materials will you use, and why?
- Does this project need a permit, and will you get it?
- Is finishing, such as sanding, painting or staining, included?
- How will you attach the work to the existing structure?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship?
Cabinet refacing permits in Delaware
Some cabinet refacing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Delaware
Consumer protection
Two things are worth asking for before you hire: the contractor's registration, which the statute requires before they perform construction services or maintenance, and their Delaware business licence, which the Division of Revenue requires of any contractor conducting business activity in the state. The Department of Justice also publishes home improvement regulations covering contracts with consumers.
