Mr. Handyman of South Austin/Lakeway handles cabinet refacing in South Austin for homeowners who like their kitchen layout but are done with the orange oak doors. We also refinish worn finishes and fix or swap out damaged boxes in kitchens and bathrooms. Our South Austin handyman crew checks the cabinet boxes first. Solid plywood frames usually deserve a second life, while swollen particleboard doesn't. You'll know which route makes sense before a single hinge comes off, along with a realistic idea of how long your kitchen will be out of service. Call us to set up an in-home estimate and get a straight answer on your cabinets.

How Cabinet Refacing, Refinishing, Repair, and Replacement Work
Cabinet refacing
Refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes and replaces the doors and drawer fronts. It then covers the face frames and exposed end panels in matching veneer. It's the middle ground between paint and a tear-out, and framed cabinets from the '90s and 2000s reface especially cleanly. We clean and scuff the frames, apply paper-backed wood veneer or rigid thermofoil, and hang new Shaker or slab doors on concealed soft-close hinges. Countertops and plumbing stay put. That means you keep cooking through most of the project.
Cabinet refinishing
Refinishing is the right call when the doors are sound, but the finish has yellowed or worn through near the pulls. Grease is the real enemy. We degrease every surface, sand, fill the open oak grain if you want a smooth look, and lay down a bonding primer before two coats of waterborne alkyd enamel sprayed with an HVLP rig. Older bungalows are a big part of our handyman services in Travis Heights and Tarrytown, and their site-built cabinets are often worth saving.
Cabinet repair
Cabinet repair in South Austin covers stripped hinge holes, broken drawer slides, split face frames, loose toe kicks, and sink bases ruined by a slow drip. For stripped holes, we glue in hardwood dowels and redrill. Particleboard that's swelled from water won't dry back flat, so we cut out the damaged floor and fit new plywood. Second homes in our Lakeway and Spanish Oaks service areas often hide these leaks for weeks.
Cabinet replacement
Some boxes are too far gone. Replacement makes sense when particleboard is sagging, or the layout no longer works for how you cook. We pull the old units and check the wall for rot. Then we set new cabinets level off the floor's high point, shim them, and screw them into studs. Standard base cabinets stand 34.5 inches tall, which puts a finished countertop at 36 inches. If moving a sink drain brings in permits, we'll tell you before work starts.
Why South Austin Homeowners Hire Mr. Handyman for Cabinet Work
Cabinet jobs go sideways when one crew paints, another hangs doors, and nobody owns the gaps. Mr. Handyman of South Austin/Lakeway keeps cabinet refinishing in South Austin under one team, so the person who preps your doors is the same one adjusting hinges at the end. Our pros are background-checked and insured. They show up at the scheduled time in marked vans and clean up before leaving. Heavy uppers go up on a cabinet lift, not a helper's shoulders, so they land level and nobody dings your new counters. Every job carries the Neighborly Done Right Promise®, which means we come back and fix anything that isn't right.
Pricing is upfront, and that matters here because veneer species and hinge upgrades change the number. You'll see the cost of each piece before we start. While we're on site, the same crew knocks out other items on your list, like drywall repair behind an old range hood in South Austin. Families using our handyman in Bee Cave and handyman in The Hills services often pair refacing with fresh wall paint to update a 2000s kitchen without a full remodel.
