Rancho Cucamonga Elite Custom Cabinets provides professional cabinet refacing, refinishing & painting in Rancho Cucamonga, CA for residential and commercial properties across the western Inland Empire. Here is an argument that runs the other way from most of this website. If your existing boxes are plywood and square, refacing is often the better technical decision in this climate, not merely the cheaper one, and we will say so even though it is the smaller invoice.
The reason is acclimation. A cabinet box that has spent twenty-five years in a Rancho Cucamonga house has finished every dimensional change it is ever going to make. It has been through every summer, every Santa Ana and every winter, and it has settled. New solid wood is the thing that moves. Replacing a stable box restarts a clock that had already run out.
So the first thing we do is open a door and look at the box, not at the doors. We are checking for a plywood carcass rather than particleboard, square openings, sound hanging rails, and a sink base floor that has not been soft-spotted by a decade of slow supply-line drips.
If those four things pass, refacing is honest advice. If the carcass is chipboard and the sink base is spongy, we say so and quote new cabinetry instead. The work itself is veneer or laminate over the exposed face frame, new end panels, and new doors and drawer fronts built to our full-custom standard.
Refinishing existing doors in place is the third option and the one with the narrowest window. It works on solid wood doors with a sound substrate and no delamination. It does not work on thermofoil, which cannot be recoated, and it is a poor bet on any door already showing an open miter.
That door is telling you it will keep moving. For whites our shop sprays waterborne acrylic rather than a solvent-based conversion varnish, because conversion varnish ambers noticeably under this much sun and a repainted kitchen should not go yellow in three years.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — quartersawn white oak, rift-sawn maple, furniture-grade plywood boxes, dovetailed solid maple drawer boxes, waterborne acrylic topcoats, UV-inhibiting clear coats — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Rancho Cucamonga and nearby communities including Upland, Ontario, Montclair, Chino.

Materials, equipment and how we do cabinet refacing, refinishing & painting
The difference between cabinet refacing, refinishing & painting that lasts and cabinet refacing, refinishing & painting that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with quartersawn white oak, rift-sawn maple, furniture-grade plywood boxes, dovetailed solid maple drawer boxes, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Rancho Cucamonga job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of cabinet work in the western Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Rancho Cucamonga Chooses Rancho Cucamonga Elite Custom Cabinets
- ✓We hold incoming lumber to six to eight percent moisture content and let it acclimate in the shop, because Inland Empire interiors are drier than most cabinet shops build for.
- ✓Floating panels on five-piece doors are finished on all six faces before glue-up, so a panel that shrinks in August never exposes a raw unfinished shoulder at the stile.
- ✓Quartersawn and rift stock goes wherever cross-grain movement would show, and veneered plywood replaces any solid panel wide enough to split.
- ✓Finishes are chosen for how they age under hard sun: UV-inhibiting topcoats on west-facing runs and waterborne acrylics wherever white has to stay white.
