Many Scarborough family kitchens have solid but dated oak boxes, which makes them strong refacing or paint-refresh candidates. When the boxes are not worth saving, we build new ones in Baltic Birch with Blum hardware.
Post-war bungalows and 1960s to 1980s family homes in Scarborough Village, Guildwood and Cliffside, where the key decision is refresh or replace. Pickering and Ajax are served by the same crews.
Every job here is designed, cut and finished by the same Toronto cabinet makers at the same published per-linear-foot rates, with no travel surcharge.

Our fix: Cabinet refacing or a sprayed paint refresh keeps the good boxes and swaps doors, drawer fronts and hinges. New boxes only go where water got in.
Three failures account for 80% of GTA customer complaints.
Our fix: Proliner 3D laser templating after cabinet removal catches odd walls to 1/16 inch. See how
Our fix: Benjamin Moore Scuffx or Rubio Monocoat finish that stands up to daily use. See how
Our fix: Blum Legrabox runners and Blumotion hinges with a lifetime mechanical rating. See how

Old boxes come out first so the laser reads true wall geometry to 1/16 inch, not the line of the old cabinets.
A Red Seal lead walks you through door placement, drawer stacks and appliance panels. Change rounds happen here, on paper.
Boxes are cut on the Biesse Rover CNC, edge banded and finished in our booth over 3-4 weeks while your kitchen stays clean.
WSIB-covered crews level, scribe and adjust every door, then walk the finished room with you before the last payment.
Your written per-linear-foot tally comes before any deposit, and every install carries a transferable 15-year workmanship warranty. No consult fee.
Scarborough Village, Guildwood and Cliffside have many post-war and 1960s bungalows near the Scarborough Bluffs. Many original or second-generation kitchens have solid oak or plywood boxes, which hold up far better than later particleboard.
Agincourt and Wexford have 1960s to 1980s detached homes and semis where kitchens are often oak Shaker or cathedral style. These are the classic refacing kitchens: the boxes are fine, the doors are dated.
Highland Creek has larger lots and newer homes where full custom kitchens with islands are more common.
Start with the boxes. Solid oak or plywood boxes that are dry and square are ideal for refacing with new paint-grade or white oak doors, or a Benjamin Moore Scuffx paint refresh.
Replace when the sink base has water damage, boxes have racked, or the layout does not work. Bungalow kitchens are often small and closed off, and opening a wall to the dining room means a new layout.
Our refacing vs replacement calculator gives a quick comparison, and we confirm with an in-home box check before quoting.
Scarborough deliveries run along the 401 and Kingston Rd. Bungalows in Guildwood, Cliffside and Scarborough Village usually have driveway access, so delivery and setup are quick.
Refacing jobs are lighter on delivery: doors and drawer fronts arrive finished from our spray booth and are hung in 2-4 days while you keep using the kitchen.
Pickering and Ajax homeowners are served by the same crews along the 401 corridor.
Refacing takes 2-3 weeks and suits any season because the kitchen stays usable.
Full replacements follow our 4-6 week shop timeline; book 8-10 weeks ahead for spring and summer.
A paint refresh runs $2,800-$6,500 and door and drawer refacing runs $4,500-$12,000 for a full kitchen. Our Scarborough Village case study was 18 lf for $7,500-$10,000.
New kitchens use our published per-foot rates: Shaker $350-$500/lf, flat-slab $400-$600/lf, paint-grade $500-$750/lf.

Solid oak boxes, dated doors. We kept the boxes, made new paint-grade doors, sprayed them in Benjamin Moore Scuffx and swapped every hinge for Blum soft-close. The family cooked through the whole job.

"Our Scarborough Village kitchen was dated oak Shaker. Scuffx paint refresh and new hardware made it look like a new kitchen for a fraction of the price."

"They told us two boxes were not worth saving and replaced only those. Honest advice and a fair price."
Leanne and Kofi M.
Guildwood client
