No, we didn't shop around. I had been reading TOTV for a couple of years and made a mental note that Remington specialized in refacing. They came right out and gave us a estimate that was really the final price.
This was in March of 2013, at the time they had two (1) man crews that did the refacing. One fellow came to our place and removed all the doors and drawl fronts, and placed white formica over the base cabinets and took the old doors and drawl fronts away. That was day one. The next day he brought in new white doors with new hinges and drawl fronts and finished the job including the crown molding and hand pulls. He finished up in two days, and they charged $4800 including the crown molding and hand pulls. We could of had the cabinets painted white for about $1,000 from Investment Painters. I decided I rather have a new veneer and not worry about paint chipping or getting old looking. These are termafoil cabinets, like the TV installs. That's basically wood with white plastic melted onto the veneer. They also offered real wood painted white, which is what we had up north. The real wood looks nice but you do see the seams where as the thermafoil is solid white.
