Laredo Elite Cabinets provides professional cabinet refacing, refinishing & painting in Laredo, TX for residential and commercial properties across Webb County. Cabinet refacing and refinishing is the right call more often than a cabinet shop likes to admit, and in Laredo's 2000s and 2010s subdivisions it is usually the answer, since the boxes are square and sound while the thermofoil doors above the range have peeled off their cores. Refacing swaps every door, drawer front, hinge and slide and skins the face frames in matching veneer, generally $4,000 to $10,000 against $15,000 and up for new cabinets.
There is no separate service called door replacement. Replacing doors is refacing; anyone selling it as its own product is selling you half a job, because the hinges, the slides and the exposed face frames are what make the kitchen look new. Refinishing is the other path: solid wood boxes and doors get stripped, sanded, sealed and sprayed, which suits the oak and hickory kitchens from the eighties that were built better than anything at that price today.
The mistake we get called about most is paint over thermofoil. Thermofoil is a vinyl film heat-pressed onto an MDF core, and paint does not form a lasting bond with it no matter what the primer label promises.
Once it has bubbled over the range, that door is finished and the answer is new doors. Second mistake: skipping degreasing.
Ten years of cooking oil is on those doors whether you can see it or not, and it is the reason most DIY paint jobs peel at the pulls within a year.
In the newer neighborhoods along the I-35 corridor the kitchens are physically fine and cosmetically dated, which is exactly the refacing case. Older ranch kitchens near the center of town are the opposite: the boxes are 1962 particleboard, the layout fights the room, and refacing there is good money going onto a bad chassis.
So the honest test. If the boxes are plywood, the layout works, and the sink base is not swollen, reface. If the sink base has water damage, if you hate where the range sits, or if the cabinets are particleboard that has already gone soft anywhere, replace and stop spending on the doors. We will look under your sink before we quote, and that one cabinet decides the whole conversation.
Doors and drawer fronts are sprayed off-site in a booth with catalyzed conversion varnish, which is the finish that survives a west wall in August. On-site brushing is why refinishing has the reputation it has. You live without doors for five to ten business days while the kitchen stays usable, then we hang everything, fit new soft-close hinges, and adjust every door twice, because the first adjustment is always optimistic.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — furniture-grade plywood boxes, solid maple dovetail drawers, Blum and Grass soft-close hardware, full-overlay and inset doors, framed and frameless European construction, catalyzed conversion varnish — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Laredo and nearby communities including Rio Bravo, El Cenizo, Zapata, San Ygnacio.

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 furniture-grade plywood boxes, solid maple dovetail drawers, Blum and Grass soft-close hardware, full-overlay and inset doors, 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 Laredo 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 Webb County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
