Does the preview show the difference between refacing and a full cabinet replacement?

The preview generates a reface outcome specifically — new door and drawer fronts plus matching veneer over the existing boxes, with the current cabinet configuration, appliance openings, and countertops left untouched. That's the useful part in an estimate conversation: homeowners see that refacing transforms the same footprint a full replacement would, without needing to picture a demolition to get there.

How does the AI handle matching the veneer on the boxes to the new door finish?

The model applies the same finish family — the same wood species and stain, or the same thermofoil or laminate color — across both the door fronts and the exposed box surfaces, so the preview reads as one continuous finish rather than two mismatched materials. That seam concern is the objection homeowners raise most often, and seeing it resolved in the photo removes it before they voice it.

What door styles and materials can the preview show — shaker, raised panel, slab, wood veneer versus thermofoil?

All of those. Specify the door profile — shaker, raised panel, slab or flat panel, glass-front — and the material — wood veneer in a given species and stain, painted MDF, or rigid thermofoil — and the AI renders that exact combination on the customer's own cabinet layout.

Can the preview include new hardware, or just the doors and boxes?

Hardware — knobs, pulls, hinges — renders as part of the same preview. Countertops and backsplash stay as photographed unless you're quoting those too, which comes up often since homeowners weighing a reface want to see whether their existing counters still work against the new door finish.

How long does an actual reface job take, and does the preview set that expectation correctly?

Most reface jobs run two to five days on site, since the boxes stay put and there's no plumbing or electrical disconnection. The preview itself generates in seconds — reps often walk homeowners through both timelines back to back, which reinforces refacing's core pitch: a comparable transformation with a fraction of the disruption of a full remodel.

Is homeowner photo data retained?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your business needs and make sure it meets CCPA or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Can it handle a kitchen with an island, multiple cabinet runs, or an unusual layout — not just one straight wall?

Yes. Photograph each run or angle you want to quote — the island separately from the perimeter wall, uppers separately from lowers if needed — and generate a preview for each. Most kitchens don't fit into a single frame, and homeowners want to see the whole room refaced, not one section of it.

What is a kitchen cabinet reface preview?

A kitchen cabinet reface preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of what a kitchen will look like after refacing — new door and drawer fronts plus matching veneer applied to the existing cabinet boxes — without removing or replacing those boxes. The contractor or sales rep photographs the homeowner's actual kitchen during the in-home estimate, and the tool renders the chosen door style, finish, and hardware onto that specific layout and lighting. Cabinet refacing companies and kitchen remodelers use this at the kitchen table to move a measuring appointment straight to a signed contract.

Why it matters

A full kitchen remodel runs $25,000 to $50,000-plus and takes four to eight weeks of gutted plumbing and displaced appliances. Refacing delivers a comparable visual transformation for roughly $6,000 to $20,000 in two to five days, because the boxes stay in place and only the doors, drawer fronts, and exposed surfaces change. That pitch is easy to say and hard to prove without a visual — homeowners default to assuming cheaper means it will look cheaper, and they're frequently collecting a full-replacement bid from a competing contractor the same week. A preview of their own kitchen, refaced, closes that gap before the second bid shows up.

Who uses this

In-home sales consultants and estimators at cabinet refacing companies run it during the initial walkthrough, before writing the proposal. Kitchen remodeling contractors who offer refacing as a lower-cost alternative to a full gut use it to help homeowners decide between the two paths. Franchise cabinet refacing reps and independent cabinet shops doing design-and-install work use it the same way — as the visual that turns a measuring appointment into a signature.

Heard this from a homeowner?

Homeowners ask whether the seam between the new door fronts and the refaced box will show, and you're stuck describing veneer application with your hands instead of a photo.

They're also holding a full-replacement quote from another contractor and can't picture why a reface at half the price would look just as finished in their own kitchen.

They stall for weeks on a door style and finish — shaker versus slab, painted white versus natural oak — because sample chips and a swatch board don't translate to their actual cabinets.
