A Fresh Meadows Homeowner Maximizes Sales Potential with an Updated Kitchen

April 10, 2024

Don, a Fresh Meadows, Queens, New York homeowner, was ready to sell his apartment. The kitchen was outdated, and his real estate agent suggested that Don update it to maximize the sale price. Don's first instinct was to paint the cabinets, but after looking into it further, he realized painting would not be the best solution. Aesthetically, painted cabinets didn't look good to him, and he'd still have the same cabinet doors, so there would be very little change.


After further research, he learned about cabinet refacing and discovered it was an affordable and hassle-free way to update cabinets without doing a full remodel. It sounded like the ideal solution, so he searched Google for the best cabinet refacing companies and found Cabinet Reface Direct of Queens in the top results.

Don called Cabinet Reface Direct of Queens and spoke to a representative who told him about the CRD showrooms, where he could visit and see the work firsthand. Since showroom tours are by appointment only, Don immediately scheduled a day to visit.


The showroom was all Don needed to make a decision. He saw the craftsmanship and the quality of the materials and knew Cabinet Reface Direct was the right choice.

A CRD designer named John met with Don in his home to discuss what he wanted to achieve. Don said he was selling the apartment and wanted to update the kitchen to maximize the sales potential. John showed him color samples and styles and suggested going from brown to white to give the kitchen a brighter, roomier appearance. He also suggested going with Shaker-style cabinet doors instead of the raised panel. In addition, Don asked to have his counter replaced, along with a new subway tile backsplash.

Satisfied with the plan, Don asked to schedule a date to have the work done. John said once the components arrived from the factory, he could complete the job in two or three days.

John arrived on the installation date, ready to transform Don's apartment. He brought another designer to help speed up the process, knowing Don was eager to get his place on the market.

Don left the two men to their work. They worked meticulously and professionally to remove the old cabinets and prepare the surfaces for refacing. By the end of day one, they'd accomplished all of the refacing. On day two, they tackled the new counters and installed the backsplash.

When the job was complete, John invited Don to see the results. Don was impressed with the drastic transformation and knew the new look would help maximize the sale of the apartment.

He thanked our team for their attention to detail and said he would not hesitate to recommend Cabinet Reface Direct to anyone he knew who wanted to update their home. He even casually joked that his kitchen looked so good he might have to reconsider selling.
