We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with the incredible Dave Marrs—home renovator, builder, and co-host of Fixer to Fabulous on HGTV!
Known for transforming outdated spaces into warm, welcoming dream homes, Dave brings his trusted eye for design and building experience to Front + Center. Together, we’re showing homeowners and pros that a kitchen makeover doesn’t have to involve disruptive demolition.
“What I really like about Front + Center is that it’s simple, it’s sustainable, and it’s quick,” Dave shares in our newest video. “There are just so many advantages to not having to rip out your entire kitchen and start over.”
What is Cabinet Refacing?
Cabinet refacing is a smart alternative to a full kitchen remodel. Instead of tearing out your entire kitchen, refacing keeps your existing cabinet boxes in tact and replaces only the visible components—like doors, drawer fronts, hardware, and hinges. It offers the same fresh, updated look you’d expect from a full remodel but without the cost, mess, or extended downtime.
At Front + Center, we specialize in high-quality, durable cabinet refacing materials such as doors and drawer fronts in various styles and finishes, hardware, soft close hinges, and other materials that allow homeowners and professionals to give their kitchens and other spaces a refresh without starting from scratch.
If you’re comparing cabinet refacing to a full kitchen remodel, here’s what you need to know:
- Timeline: Refacing projects are typically completed in days, not weeks—no need to move out or disrupt your routine. Remodeling can take weeks or even months, depending on the scope.
- Cost: Refacing is significantly more affordable than a full remodel, with the average project costing about one-third to half the price of replacing all cabinetry.
- Sustainability: By reusing your cabinet boxes, refacing generates less waste and supports a more eco-friendly renovation.
- Customization: With refacing, you can still update your space with appliance panels, glass door inserts, soft-close drawers, new hardware, floating shelves, lighting, and more—without changing the entire layout. You can also still replace countertops and flooring at the same time or even later on down the road. The customization options are nearly endless.
Design That Preserves Character
Dave Marrs believes that “beautiful spaces are most often imperfect and full of character—just like the people who live in them.” That belief is exactly why this partnership makes so much sense. With Front + Center, homeowners don’t have to erase what makes their home special to enjoy an update.
Instead, cabinet refacing offers a thoughtful way to update the space with new colors, materials, and finishes—while preserving the kitchen’s original footprint and charm.
“I was a little nervous when I started too,” Dave admits, “but after doing my first kitchen with Front + Center, it’s quick, it’s easy, it’s economical—and it completely transforms your kitchen.”
